This was the fist final boss theme I ever heard, at the age of eight years old way back in 1994, that genuinely gave me the feeling that if I failed, the world was over. It's my all-time favorite for that reason alone.
@@arclain67 I've been good. It's still cool that this is one of the few Egg Mobiles that Robotnik's made that can hurt Super Sonic. And I don't care if S3&K removed that, I prefer op Big Arms.
A shame really, Robotnik made it seem like the Big Arms machine was a more mobile one and a dangerous one that it could get Super Sonic out of his form.
Just gonna say this outright, don’t care how cheesy it sounds: this is my favorite boss theme of all time. Everything about it is so distinctly dark and menacing, yet all the same fast-paced and absolutely kickin’. Without context of the game, it really does evoke the image in your mind of Sonic using his wits to the best of his ability against a looming, larger-than-life force. At least, that’s what it does for me.
I remember replaying that boss soany times but never minding it because that theme was so epic and thumping too. If you ever play it again, play on a stereo recover with good speakers. That's how I did it. It was thumping for real
I did a no save run of this game with my brother once, just for kicks and giggles. by the time I got to big arms I had one life left, 9:30 on the clock, and I had burned all my rings on supersonic. I was able to no-hit big arms in under half a minute.
As much as I grew out of my sonic phase I still play his games for fun and the nostalgia feeling and I do listen to soundtracks of the games from time to time.
I remember when I first played this boss. It took me an entire 30 minutes just to get passed it. Now a days, I've practically mastered sonic's moveset.
Love how they have the launch of the death egg take so long to drop your ring count before the boss. Then you "outsmart" it and change to super after the launch, only to have it knocked out of you first time big arms grabs you. As a kid, this must have obliterated my mind. 😂
I wished more Sonic games where Super Sonic is an option would do this, as if the game is telling you that you cannot Cheese the final boss. Even having Robotnik grab Super Sonic with his machine and shake the rings out of you.
this is my favorite sonic track, absolutely incredible music!! As a kid it always felt so epic to hear this playing at the final boss and it still does!
The final boss fight In sonic 3 is epic! Just the way that when you think that you beaten Robotnik the sky goes dark and down comes Robotnik in the egg arm machine and this music plays absolutely.. epic!.
What I love about this final boss theme is how it represents the escalation of Eggman's schemes and his rivalry with Sonic: In Sonic 1 they just met. Sonic was merely a nuisance to Eggman, so he just tried to drown him in Scrap Brain Act 3 and crush him with the pistons. He didn't had much of a plan and he ends up running away. In Sonic 2 Eggman upped his game by trapping Sonic in his flying fortress the Death Egg, stripped him of his rings, forced him to face Mecha Sonic, and then fought head on using his Death Egg Robot. Eggman wasn't messing around anymore. In Sonic 3 & Knuckles built an even bigger Death Egg Robot, one that can crush Sonic with just it's fingers. This robot also appear to more resistant, as it has two phases. The music in this fight sounds more heroic in the second half, compared to the two previous final boss themes that sounded more hopeless. Eggman, despite improving his mechanical creations, is very much out of his league now that Sonic is stronger and more experienced. At the end of everything Eggman can only run away in fear, as Sonic chases him through the collapsing bridge and later the space as Super Sonic.
The boss themes in the sonic games are pure iconic. The quality reminds me a bit of final fantasy 7’s boss battles. A looming sense of danger and an adrenaline thrill ride.
I wanted to get into modding my switch for this purpose, but mine is a patched one and I'm not about to tear it apart just for music. You might be able to mod yours though.
This theme sounds like a final boss of the Trilogy, and if you have the 2 cartridges locked on, this is like only the mid point. Sonic 3 & Knuckles is pretty damn big game for the time. This theme rocks.
The sole boss who's able to hurt Super Sonic when he grab and smash him to the ground (in Sonic 3 only). What a badass theme for him! And of course a very cool one for Mecha Sonic... before he turn Super.
One of the best final.boss themes ever. Even though it actually wasn't. Just the end of the first half of the game. Couldn't believe how huge it was back then. It took two carts to fit this game. My favorite game in the series. The actual final boss theme is better than this though.
0:45 I dunno why, but this part of the theme feels somewhat emotional. Like all the stuff Sonic has been through (Sonic 1, Sonic CD, Sonic 2, Sonic 3&K) has led to this!
This song with big arms, mecha sonic, and the first attempt to kill sonic and take the master emerald in death egg zone, is just *majestical* , straight up perfection

What I love about this final boss theme is how it represents the escalation of Eggman's schemes and his rivalry with Sonic:

This question has constantly stumped me, but how did Sonic (that starts the fight with no rings) get 50 rings???
Cuz why not
Or Hyper Sonic, the strongest sonic we know (I think?) it’s sad that it’s not canon tho
Hyper sonic if all super emeralds.
Uhm actually they had a rivalry before sonic 1
