@Sonic And Blaze I also bet Dark Gaia destroys the world in the Sonic games because he hates what humanity has done each other out of greed and ungratefulness of Humanity too.
London Jackson you are wrong team sonic racing is a success like generations and colors , forces is a failure so no compare team sonic racing with that
Everyone Hates Unleashed. But if you ask me. It Has the best Story, Best Cutscene Graphics, Best in game graphics, best theme, one of the best super sonic boss fights (i personally think if the Xbox and Wii version where combined it would be the best) Best voice acting. It got the dark feeling without being to dark and edgy, it had its comic releif. It had nice hub worlds. The music was great. The characters where lovable. All of that looked down on because of the Gameplay not being everyones cup of tea
Silver Hedgie I don't mean to be that guy, but I agree with many of your aspects, and the voice acting is top-notch; Jason as Sonic and Pollock as Eggman really upped the quality of their performance, but I have to say Chip's voice performance wasn't all too good. I'm not saying he's a bad character, but I felt like in some cases he sounded just a bit... bored.
utrarafat I liked the wolf stages it adds a new from of gameplay we all know the running stages but if you think about it the Sonic fanchise won't be able to survive with just that, It adds new attacks and things to do, it's just to bad that I have the crappy PS2 version of the game which sucks.
I was talking about sonic dash (boring and useless) why when someone says worst game everybody thinks about sonic 06 (yeah it was bad but with some huge improvements it would be great-if it was released with a PC version I bet modders would make that improvements)
mehmet gurdal that is true im glad im not the only one who didn't truly hate 06 I really love the idea for the game and I really really wish they added more sonic games with co op me and my brother play that a lot even though it was glitchy it was still fun as heck in my opinion.
Don't let this distract you from the fact that sonic was fighting 2 separate armies for days and possibly weeks on end. Had the dark gaias energy ripped out of him. Breathed in fumes from the earth's core for a long period of time. Still had enough strength left to fight a God. And then finally passed out. Dude is a fuckin beast and he's practically a high schooler if he was a person
oh yeah if i recall sonic unleashed came out in 2008 and his 20th anniversary was on 2011 this man 17 years old saving the world without sleep for weeks
@@memezabelle Sonic is all about the Grind since he was 15 during 1991 and it took 20 Human Years for 1 Sega Year to occur for Sonic's birthday in Generations. 20 Years of Games crammed and finished in 12 Months is pretty wild.
honestly i like having long final bosses. it really pimps you up knowing "when will he go down!" like for an example Metal Gear rising revengence. ik completely different type of game but the final boss has 3 phases. and there each about 5- 10min long. or if you die alot.
The thing that saddens me the most about the game is how much effort Sonic Team putted in this, and how poorly it was received. Even though it has it's flaws and it's not perfect, there are many things they did right, and I thing they tried to recapture the greatness of Sonic 3&K again. They even created a special engine for Sonic. After the dissapointment Sonic06 was, you could feel how Sonic Team wanted to make up to their fans. The graphics that are the best seen in any Sonic Game, the epicness of the soundtrack, the atmpsphere, the tone. I think people were harder with this game thanks to Sonic's strike of bad luck in past games. But actually, for being the first game using the boost formula, this game is actually made with a lot of love. They even made a mobile version to market it! You KNOW they wanted this to be their best triple A game, even going so far to create mini-stories for the HUB characters. I think Sonic Team got discouraged to put true effort to their games after the madness that was Sonic Unleashed. SEGA gave Sonic Team the time they wanted to create this game, trying to learn from their mistakes of rushing Sonic games. Is pretty sad to hear the Rise and Fall of SEGA. They should make a book about it, like the sequel to "Console Wars". i cry eve rytiem,,

I miss him and Ryan. Heard Ryan first since Heroes was my first 3D Sonic game and then Jason because I had Shadow the Hedgehog, Generations and Unleashed.
Everything about this final boss is perfect, The Cutscene before it, the leadup to the boss with the main theme swelling, Chip FORCING HIS WAY INTO THE BARRIER AND DECKING DARK GAIA IN THE FACE, The barrier section doesnt last that long so it doesnt get irritating for being repetitive, and even though the final part of the fight is a QTE with a button mash, it makes up for it with the presentation
Disagreed. There's too little actual fighting, it's mainly just flying forward while dodging shit and QTEs. Also I HATE that button mash QTE, there's no real skill involved and I can't do it because I have a bum right thumb that got stepped on when I was a kid (I can still play games just fine, but I can't button mash fast enough to do that damn QTE). Presentation wise, it's good, but gameplay wise it's utter shit and I vehemently disagree that the presentation makes up for it.
i love the button mash and qte it really goes well with sonic franchise i really wanted it to make a comeback but it never did, maybe in forces but i dont count it because you could just mash the jump button and get the qte anyways since its only tied to one button its one of the things i miss

This maybe the most epic Super Sonic battle in the franchise’s history. Not just because of the epic music or the battle itself, but because what Sonic was up against. As someone pointed out in a comment below, Sonic actually passed out after defeating Dark Gaia and stated it was because of Dark Gaia ripping out the energy from Sonic by force. Actually, I don’t think that’s the cause (nor is it because of Sonic not resting to put the planet back together.) The main cause can be seen during the fight. Super Sonic is shown to pretty much be invincible to anything in the past. However, here, when Sonic is hit by one of Dark Gaia’s attacks, Sonic isn’t knocked back like in previous battles. Super Sonic actually TAKES damage! To people who don’t understand why this is a big deal, of any final boss that has been fought before, there’s only one other that has accomplished this feat: Solaris; a time god who’s power required 3 super transformed hedgehogs to defeat. That’s how powerful Perfect Dark Gaia is. Since Solaris was erased from Sonic’s timeline altogether, this makes Dark Gaia the strongest enemy Sonic has ever fought. Sonic knew Dark Gaia wasn’t like facing Eggman. He was facing the embodiment of the Earth’s darkness, a literal force of nature that was driven by the planet’s will to destroy itself. He had to take this even more seriously then anything before. If him or Chip lost, the world would end.
Punching demons is cool. Colossal temple golems punching a demon five times its own size is even better. They sure don't make final bosses like they used to. Granted, it's a bit ridiculous, but final bosses are meant to get you excited.
Candy's good I played the Wii version before I played this. And yes, it was difficult. It took me so long to get used to the controls, and I swear the boost movement didn't work properly. That and I was just a bit crap at the game.
Being ridiculously over-the-top has always been part of the series' charm. It still boggles me whenever someone says that Sonic shouldn't have stories because ''he's a blue cartoon hedgehog''. Ignoring the fact that cartoons are perfectly allowed to have stories, isn't finales like this cartoon-y enough for those guys? There's a literal stone version of the Power Rangers' mech punching a giant monster for crying out loud.
Looking back on this game after so long, I realize how bittersweet this fight was from the perspective of the story. Just thinking about the weight of saving the world with a good friend, knowing that your actions will result in the loss of that friend... If I still felt things like I did as a youngin this would've torn me up for weeks, lol
Hey I just realized something. The way Super Sonic moves around the shield to hit the weak spots represents how Sonic has been traveling around planet Earth throughout the game! Anyone else think this was the idea?
Every color known to man kind News flash : it didn't. It's a pretentious piece of shit which humor revolves only around factoids about the fanbase and series, or outdated as fuck in-jokes. No wonder it's such a failure.
Its a shame this game got the reputation it did back in the day. It did everything right, fantastic story, amazing level design, phenomenal final boss fight, and a great soundtrack. People seemed to not like the werehog but I think the werehog does a good job add changing up the pace. This was one of the few sonic games to feature a super sonic boss fight and it contained one of the best super sonic fights to date. This game was supposed to be a love letter and apology from Sonic team and Sega to the fans to try and fix what happened with Sonic ‘06, and it shows. This was also the last sonic game to have a full development time. Its sad that games like this are left in the pile of shitty games that will eventually be forgotten
here is my story my best friend had a ps3. he loved sonic games. he had unleahsed. one day he asked me could i come over to help him. -ok when we beated dark gaia, we came to perfect. the custence... i was like 8... it scared the living shit out of me. i went out of he room xd when i saw 60× □... i tried it a few times, but we failed. after a month or two my aunt bought me this game. after months i beated dark gaia and he custence still disgusted me. i collected some life and after 14 tries i did it. i screamed and started to dance like an idiot. now im 12 and still watching this custence
Sonic The Hedgehog at least it had amazing music but do you know what also has amazing music? Sonic 06 Oh and Sonic Unleashed (don't lie solaris phase 2 music was amazing Then again can't we all respect everyones opinion? Some people like omochao and some people like sonic boom (rise of lyric) Hell i loved Sonic Boom Shattered Crystals gameplay it was fun...but that's my opinion and i respect yours.
EpicOne52 is Epic I love Sonic 06 and Unleashed. If you like Sonic Boom, that's fine too. And yes, Solaris Phase 2 was amazing. I'm just giving my opinion and I respect yours too
Well in the doomsday zone in sonic 3&knuckles you could dash into rocks and break them in space, it caused knock back, but you don't lose rings it health it just slows you down. The choice to add a health bar is odd in this version of the game, but I guess the Gaia colossus health bar sort of replaces the decreasing rings over time
When I first saw Dark Gaia's true form, I was shook and said, "How are Sonic and Chip going to beat Dark Gaia now?!" I even had goosebumps all over my body and shivers down my spine. But when the Chaos Emerald's started moving from the temples right to Sonic and he transformed into Super Sonic. I was like, "Oh hell yeah!!!" This is the first Sonic game where I got to play as Super Sonic for the first time in my life
I played Sonic Unleashed on the wii and it will always have a place in my heart, but damn, this is an amazing boss fight too. I love both versions of this game. Thanks, SEGA
This is the REAL sonic and who Sonic really is Fighting a monster in the core of the earth to save it from destruction Come on what more could you ask for
Ah yes, back when Sonic final bosses were on par with Kirby final bosses in terms of epicness. This was literally the last truly epic final boss, nega wisp armor is a great final boss and the time eater in the 3DS version of generations is also pretty good, but they lack the build up and the epic feel that this boss had. and don't even get me started on lost World's final boss or force's final boss as they completely miss the mark on every front. I want final bosses like these, not whatever the hell those new bosses are.
I'd say that Merlina was the final epic fight. That one had a lot of weight to it too, and the scene before the fight was incredible. Despite only being in one game, her betrayal still hurt.
Probably because this boss phase was meant to be done as fast as possible . Chip will die within a minute if you don't take out the snake shield things fast enough
I prefer him with a time limit. It really makes the fight better plus the sense of urgency isn't there if Sonic can keep up his super form indefinitely. Gotta save the world and you don't have forever!
4:35 if this game ever gets remastered it would be really neat if it switched to the Wii’s version of the final boss at this point to add a bit of length to the fight and make the finale more involved (for context the Wii finale boss had sonic directly fight dark Gaia by homing attacking and boosting into his eyes). It could just be 3 hits instead of 9 to stop it from making the fight too long but it would be cool to see.
The last good final boss fight was Colors, after that it was just knockoff versions of its boss fight (Lost World and Forces), or just plain horrible. (Generations.)
Here in 2023 and I'm so glad that Sonic Frontiers brought back super sonic boss fights with this level of epicness after so many years, even if the true final boss was a let down.
Mike Anthony I died a lot on the boss, but I never seemed to get any Game Overs. At the beginning, I always made sure that I grabbed enough rings to give me an extra life before advancing towards Dark Gaia.
This is by far my favorite sonic game. I played it after playing colors awhile back. It has some awesome music, I really enjoyed both styles of gameplay once I kept playing,the story was actually pretty good. This boss fight was just my favorite part of the game. As soon as the music kicked in I just thought to myself "Lets finish this" and it made me sad to see that it was basically over. But I was satisfied to see the credits playing endless possibilities.
The only thing I hate about Unleashed was that you have to fight this boss twice, because the first time it was defeated the game just plays the last few cutscenes without giving you the rank for Dark Gaia boss causing you to fight the entire boss again. This was frusating the first time I fought agaisnt this boss.
It's 2019, I still haven't played this precious game and I love the game so much and everything about this is just A M A Z I N G, even if a lot of people say this game sucks, I just love it!
The animation in the cutscenes like the one here of Dark Gaia becoming Perfect Dark Gaia are so stunning! It really looks like at the Pixar animation level.👍
13 years ago i was in awe and shock how a sonic final boss looked against my meager wii port now, i feel like i can write this off my bucket list thanks for uploading this
trole maybe we cant buy a new console just to play ONE game or to buy a powerful enough PC to emulate those flawlessly and smoothly with improved grafx
I was always confused as to why super sonic had a health bar then while thinking on it realized just how powerful dark gaia is and how worn down and weaken sonic was and it made sense, especially since it replaced his ring counter.
God I miss sonic unleashed, I never cared about what people said about this game in the past. This was honestly such a good sonic game and I even loved the werehog stages.
My ratings for this game (this is just my ratings and my opinion about this game) Story 10/10 Cutscenes 10/10 Graphics 10/10 Effort 10/10 Environment 10/10 Bosses 10/10 Entertainment 10/10 System 10/10 Resolution 10/10 Mechanics 10/10 Voices 10/10 Functions 10/10 Total 120/120 The best sonic game in my opinion
I remember during my first play through as a kid, I couldn’t press square 60 times, so I needed my cousin to help me. When I finally beat this boss by myself, I felt accomplished
@@agentblur9637 oh no... I did it and yeah you know it's difficult but if you learn all the level you can complete the level on S rank and don fachio's of eggmanland,like me :b
If you think about it dark Gaia is canonly the third most powerful foe that sonic has ever faced. The dude was able to stop super sonic away and light Gaia(chip) had no chance alot. Now I believe eggman is his secondmost powerful as not only on this game stopped super sonic and won, but also in generations basically broke time itself His strongest foe yet I say has to be Solaris as he was not able to die until the timeline was rebooted, he was able tondestroybthe universe itself and not die until the universe events was removed.
Sonic: "All right, Chip! Time for the big finish!" Chip: "Sonic." Me: "Chip, not only did you not answer him correctly, that doesn't even make any *damn* sense."
I like when mostly modern sonic games have some unfitting or uncanny valley things like Dark Gaia, Perfect Chaos, Ultimate Life Form, Black Arms and Sonic 06 in general.
Even after all these years, listening to that sound effect when Sonic just bashes into something at high speed is so satisfying, like an intended sonic boom effect.
I know it’s been 11 years but congrats on the S Rank. I have a C Rank on that boss because before the Super Sonic phase, I have trouble reaching the third eye in time when running through the temple grounds. The first two eyes were fine, it’s the third eye that feels like it doesn’t give enough time and has more obstacles to avoid.
Even though I have mixed feelings for this game when I fought the final boss with super sonic everything felt epic and extremely satisfying I feel like this is probably the best final boss fight I ever played in any sonic game
I was really young when i played this game 4:15 gave me a hard time and i always would lose my lives at that qte and restart the fight. It took lots of tries and my thumb was getting destroyed everytime but when i finally did it it i felt a rush of euphoria like never before. It was amazing. I still have this game as my favorite Sonic game imo
Honestly, if I was in charge of a definitive edition, after the button mashing (probably lower the amount of presses and the time to compensate), you’d go straight to the Wii version of the boss.
There was so much this game did right. Critics blasted this game for one experimental aspect of it when there was so much about this game that people genuinely enjoyed. The reception to unleashed scared sonic team away from pushing boundaries and taking risks leading to Forces, a bland, basic, forgettable game that plays things as safe as possible instead of getting creative and moving the franchise forward. I hope Sonic team starts getting ambitious again sooner rather than later.
Honestly, we need to gather every person who liked every aspect of Unleashed (especially the Werehog), have them remind Sonic Team about this underrated crown jewel, and maybe they’ll start taking risks again, and this time, instead of the reviews, focus on the number of sales. Unleashed sold 2.5 million copies.

but imo, i love here's sonic one lol
This maybe the most epic Super Sonic battle in the franchise’s history. Not just because of the epic music or the battle itself, but because what Sonic was up against.
As someone pointed out in a comment below, Sonic actually passed out after defeating Dark Gaia and stated it was because of Dark Gaia ripping out the energy from Sonic by force. Actually, I don’t think that’s the cause (nor is it because of Sonic not resting to put the planet back together.) The main cause can be seen during the fight.
Super Sonic is shown to pretty much be invincible to anything in the past. However, here, when Sonic is hit by one of Dark Gaia’s attacks, Sonic isn’t knocked back like in previous battles. Super Sonic actually TAKES damage! To people who don’t understand why this is a big deal, of any final boss that has been fought before, there’s only one other that has accomplished this feat: Solaris; a time god who’s power required 3 super transformed hedgehogs to defeat. That’s how powerful Perfect Dark Gaia is. Since Solaris was erased from Sonic’s timeline altogether, this makes Dark Gaia the strongest enemy Sonic has ever fought.
Sonic knew Dark Gaia wasn’t like facing Eggman. He was facing the embodiment of the Earth’s darkness, a literal force of nature that was driven by the planet’s will to destroy itself. He had to take this even more seriously then anything before. If him or Chip lost, the world would end.
Y'all remember when sonic and the iron gigant defeated literally satan himself?
That was actually funny. Too bad this reicarnated version of the Iron Giant was made of Sediment or Limestone.
Your grammar needs some work but yeah I remember that. Good times.
I always seen erazor djinn as satan tbh
No, cause that never happened
@@raptorzeraora2632 Yeah
This will forever remain my Number 1 favorite game of all time.
ya it feels like it
am i the only one that is aware of the fact that perfect dark gaia can ACTUALLY damage super sonic?

@Casswury forces is trash compared to this game
I do like forces.... But this is better
If only forces had received the same effort like this.
Shiro Chann Well SEGA is stuck in a nostalgia pandering loop.
I kinda blame mania but I still love mania anyway
Sonic advance 4 please
0:46 Now this ! This is EPIC!
Punching demons is cool.
Colossal temple golems punching a demon five times its own size is even better.
They sure don't make final bosses like they used to. Granted, it's a bit ridiculous, but final bosses are meant to get you excited.
Maybe try the Wii version? I thought it was more difficult on the wii, but that's just me
Candy's good Either way the boss is pretty cool, especially the music!
Candy's good I played the Wii version before I played this. And yes, it was difficult.
It took me so long to get used to the controls, and I swear the boost movement didn't work properly.
That and I was just a bit crap at the game.
Black Blizzard I know. This makes it look very easy. I just had a harder time with the Wii version.
Being ridiculously over-the-top has always been part of the series' charm. It still boggles me whenever someone says that Sonic shouldn't have stories because ''he's a blue cartoon hedgehog''. Ignoring the fact that cartoons are perfectly allowed to have stories, isn't finales like this cartoon-y enough for those guys? There's a literal stone version of the Power Rangers' mech punching a giant monster for crying out loud.
I love how Dark Gaia puts up a shield because he's desperate.
Game Changer Well it is 2v1 wouldn't You? Lol
@@georgebodden7857
Dark Gaia deserves some fans and love as well he's better than Eggman he's one of my favorite Darkest Sonic villains ever.
@@georgebodden7857
Dark Gaia has the best Slasher Smile.
Well, he's against a giant made of 7 sacred temples and a golden, flying anthropomorphic hedgehog
Looking back on this game after so long, I realize how bittersweet this fight was from the perspective of the story. Just thinking about the weight of saving the world with a good friend, knowing that your actions will result in the loss of that friend...
If I still felt things like I did as a youngin this would've torn me up for weeks, lol
I love the Doomsday Zone reference at the beginning

This was the greatest boss battle ever. And I say this because of the cinematic feel it has and because Super Sonic has a Health bar
Hey I just realized something. The way Super Sonic moves around the shield to hit the weak spots represents how Sonic has been traveling around planet Earth throughout the game! Anyone else think this was the idea?
Nice comparison
I like it they should put that in the description
I love this boss fight. I don’t care what anyone says, Sonic Unleashed was awesome! 😊
I 100% agree with you:)

Same.
I used to play that game a few years ago.
@@mredwin5896this game should become a live action Sonic movie I’d love to see chip
“Chip you were wow” will always give me goosebumps.
This was the perfect cinematic boss fight. I was happy to do this final fight after the horror that was Eggmanland!
"Heeeere's Sonic!"
Never heard this before.
So we got meme references before Sonic Boom?
Yup!
Take that shit outta here. Nobody wants to hear about that god-awful TTG-clone sitcom.
Every color known to man kind News flash : it's not.
Mischievous Yroo it's actually good to be honest. This is coming from someone who fucking hates Boom
Every color known to man kind News flash : it didn't. It's a pretentious piece of shit which humor revolves only around factoids about the fanbase and series, or outdated as fuck in-jokes.
No wonder it's such a failure.
Its a shame this game got the reputation it did back in the day. It did everything right, fantastic story, amazing level design, phenomenal final boss fight, and a great soundtrack. People seemed to not like the werehog but I think the werehog does a good job add changing up the pace. This was one of the few sonic games to feature a super sonic boss fight and it contained one of the best super sonic fights to date. This game was supposed to be a love letter and apology from Sonic team and Sega to the fans to try and fix what happened with Sonic ‘06, and it shows. This was also the last sonic game to have a full development time.
Its sad that games like this are left in the pile of shitty games that will eventually be forgotten
This is a perfect send off to high effort big budget sonic games
Yea
Frontiers baby
here is my story
my best friend had a ps3. he loved sonic games. he had unleahsed. one day he asked me could i come over to help him.
-ok
when we beated dark gaia, we came to perfect.
the custence...
i was like 8...
it scared the living shit out of me. i went out of he room xd
when i saw 60× □... i tried it a few times, but we failed.
after a month or two my aunt bought me this game. after months i beated dark gaia and he custence still disgusted me. i collected some life and after 14 tries i did it. i screamed and started to dance like an idiot.
now im 12 and still watching this custence
This needs more likes, yo
Wow
Help I don't remember writing this I'm sorry for this awful grammar 🤦♀️
I’m sure you tried your best lol
@@Yourlocalarchosaur You were only 12 at the time lol
The last amazing Sonic game
Sonic The Hedgehog sonic colors and sonic generations
EpicOne52 is Epic Colors sucked for all the right reasons.
Sonic The Hedgehog at least it had amazing music but do you know what also has amazing music? Sonic 06
Oh and Sonic Unleashed (don't lie solaris phase 2 music was amazing
Then again can't we all respect everyones opinion?
Some people like omochao and some people like sonic boom (rise of lyric)
Hell i loved Sonic Boom Shattered Crystals gameplay it was fun...but that's my opinion and i respect yours.
EpicOne52 is Epic I love Sonic 06 and Unleashed. If you like Sonic Boom, that's fine too. And yes, Solaris Phase 2 was amazing. I'm just giving my opinion and I respect yours too
Sonic The Hedgehog alright so let's talk about...stuff
Sonic 06 introduced Silver the Hedgehog
Sonic Unleashed introduced Sonic the Werehog
Your turn
Wow even 14 years later i still always come back to this.... This is my favorite sonic game and holds a special place in my heart
Unless frontiers somehow tops, this will forever be the best final boss
And still is!
Not really… it’s really infuriating for all the wrong reasons. This entire fight passed the shield is just a boarder line cutscene.
Best Sonic game ever. I Love Sonic Unleashed. Love this music, Endless Possibilities. 💛💙💛💙💙💙
Me too!
Kool. ;)
Same it’s such a great song
I no. This music is on CZcams. Sonic X. Sonic against Chaos and Shadow The Hedgehog is also in it.
Remeber when boosting into rocks didn't hurt super sonic? I do.
End of Sonic The Hedgehog 3 right? Maybe it's because these are "heated" by the lava? I dunno :/
Well in the doomsday zone in sonic 3&knuckles you could dash into rocks and break them in space, it caused knock back, but you don't lose rings it health it just slows you down. The choice to add a health bar is odd in this version of the game, but I guess the Gaia colossus health bar sort of replaces the decreasing rings over time
Misha In the WII and PS2 version you still have decreasing rings. The entire fight is different too, as a matter of fact.
I know I played the wii version back when the game came out and I played this one recently
+Dragonmots Yeah, that makes sense.
The theme is so Heroic, I love it.
Endless possibility perfect dark gaia mix so cool
Watch the part when chip goes through the shield with your eyes closed.
you're welcome
Oh god
Sans The Skelepun 😂😂😂😂😂
lmfao
What kind of test is this?
When I first saw Dark Gaia's true form, I was shook and said,
"How are Sonic and Chip going to beat Dark Gaia now?!" I even had goosebumps all over my body and shivers down my spine. But when the Chaos Emerald's started moving from the temples right to Sonic and he transformed into Super Sonic. I was like,
"Oh hell yeah!!!" This is the first Sonic game where I got to play as Super Sonic for the first time in my life
When I beat the game I was so satisfied. Hours of medal grinding and random deaths when going fast as hell. All worth it
3:30
Dark Gaia: Give me a hug.
Super Sonic is the COOLEST power up to ever exist in a video game and NO ONE can tell me otherwise... well you can but you would be wrong.
Halberd Kirby? That's slightly better than super sonic but not better than the almighty hyper sonic
Hyper Sonic.
Dark Sonic.
Kingdom Hearts Sora's Final Form °3°
The VS you get at the end of Lost Planet (the first game)
@Retendo Super Sonic is a power up. What are you on about? Its a transformation which falls into the category of a power up
I played Sonic Unleashed on the wii and it will always have a place in my heart, but damn, this is an amazing boss fight too. I love both versions of this game. Thanks, SEGA
Unleashed to this day remains my favorite
This is the REAL sonic and who Sonic really is
Fighting a monster in the core of the earth to save it from destruction
Come on what more could you ask for
Dad: hey son, why is the X button not working?
Me: um.. 4:15
Ah yes, back when Sonic final bosses were on par with Kirby final bosses in terms of epicness. This was literally the last truly epic final boss, nega wisp armor is a great final boss and the time eater in the 3DS version of generations is also pretty good, but they lack the build up and the epic feel that this boss had. and don't even get me started on lost World's final boss or force's final boss as they completely miss the mark on every front. I want final bosses like these, not whatever the hell those new bosses are.
I'd say that Merlina was the final epic fight.
That one had a lot of weight to it too, and the scene before the fight was incredible. Despite only being in one game, her betrayal still hurt.
@@comfy88338 that was also amazing.
@@comfy88338 Black Knight was a spin-off in the Storybook series, so I guess that's why it got left out.
The one time his Super Form didn’t have a time limit.
Probably because this boss phase was meant to be done as fast as possible . Chip will die within a minute if you don't take out the snake shield things fast enough
After that it's just quick time events . May as well be chips health that's the timer here
I prefer him with a time limit. It really makes the fight better plus the sense of urgency isn't there if Sonic can keep up his super form indefinitely. Gotta save the world and you don't have forever!
4:35 if this game ever gets remastered it would be really neat if it switched to the Wii’s version of the final boss at this point to add a bit of length to the fight and make the finale more involved (for context the Wii finale boss had sonic directly fight dark Gaia by homing attacking and boosting into his eyes). It could just be 3 hits instead of 9 to stop it from making the fight too long but it would be cool to see.
Nah, The wii version was terrible, the xbox360/ps3 version was much better
@@raptorzeraora2632 no dis version is worst
@@raptorzeraora2632 I like fries 🍟
I've never seen a gamer play sonic unleashed with so much skill. this guy is awesome
4:28 is the perfect timing for that piece of music to come in
Fun fact: Perfect Dark Giga is one of the few final boss in the entire series that is powerful enough to actually damage Super State characters.
Solaris would like a word with you.
@@trickq5883 he said one of the strongest not "the" strongest
Don't forget the end literally being able to knock sonic out of a stronger super form and draining his rings
*Sigh* They don't make Sonic Bosses like this big beast anymore...
The last good final boss fight was Colors, after that it was just knockoff versions of its boss fight (Lost World and Forces), or just plain horrible. (Generations.)
Here in 2023 and I'm so glad that Sonic Frontiers brought back super sonic boss fights with this level of epicness after so many years, even if the true final boss was a let down.
4:13
Dark Gaia used Kamehameha!
It wasn't very effective...
Gaia Colossus used Falcon Punch!
Critical Hit!
I love how Super Sonic just briefly stops there for a second before charging into Perfect Dark Gaia's eye so he can pose (depending on his rank).
That only happens on replays. The results screen is cut out if that was your first time beating the boss (basically because of what you just said)
The Epic Fudge I know that from experience. Still, though....
TheBlueComet1 I got a fucking E rank on my second try! So many game overs where spent on this boss!
Mike Anthony I died a lot on the boss, but I never seemed to get any Game Overs. At the beginning, I always made sure that I grabbed enough rings to give me an extra life before advancing towards Dark Gaia.
the only boss ever able to hurt super form
And Solaris.
Kruzty Nickers egg salamander from sonic rush
how did you people forget about knuckles
Had to go replay salamander to find out that the missiles hurt you, geuss i never got hit by those
Same with solaris
This is by far my favorite sonic game. I played it after playing colors awhile back. It has some awesome music, I really enjoyed both styles of gameplay once I kept playing,the story was actually pretty good. This boss fight was just my favorite part of the game. As soon as the music kicked in I just thought to myself "Lets finish this" and it made me sad to see that it was basically over. But I was satisfied to see the credits playing endless possibilities.
The only thing I hate about Unleashed was that you have to fight this boss twice, because the first time it was defeated the game just plays the last few cutscenes without giving you the rank for Dark Gaia boss causing you to fight the entire boss again. This was frusating the first time I fought agaisnt this boss.
if those camera angles weren't so bad this boss fight would have been so much better.
+gamer42j It's not really the camera, but rather how incredibly lengthy the boss fight is.
..
+Skeeter Mania the camera was decent most of the time
Rice
+Skeeter Mania naw I had a real problem with the angles
99% of the game: I sleep
Dark Gaia's part: REAL STUFF
That punch, that punch that happens after pressing the x button 60 times always gives me goosebumps
HEEEEEERE'S JOHNNY
ahhhahahahhah :D :D :D lol
Cobalt hahahahahahahahaha. good one. you my friend are the bomb
GalaxyGuardian Zalgo He Comes.
Cobalt, I just realized that when Sonic said, "Heeere's Sonic!", he referenced the famous "Here's Johnny" scene from The Shining...wow, silly me XD

That's the best part of that movie it's so funny.
It's 2019, I still haven't played this precious game and I love the game so much and everything about this is just A M A Z I N G, even if a lot of people say this game sucks, I just love it!
If you get PS+ you can play it on the PS4.
The animation in the cutscenes like the one here of Dark Gaia becoming Perfect Dark Gaia are so stunning! It really looks like at the Pixar animation level.👍
Best Sonic final boss ever

"Heeeere's Sonic!"
4:16 Don’t lie you struggled so hard on this.
@RetroDubs
I did it that quick-time event first try (I'm not joking), I was kinda shocked when that happened.
I broke my fingers on that part
13 years ago i was in awe and shock how a sonic final boss looked against my meager wii port
now, i feel like i can write this off my bucket list
thanks for uploading this
Sega... PC port, PLEASE
just get an xbox 360/PS3/Wii emulator
trole maybe we cant buy a new console just to play ONE game or to buy a powerful enough PC to emulate those flawlessly and smoothly with improved grafx
Maybe when the game gets remastered.
We need a switch port
Hopefully frontiers goes back to cool final boss fights root instead of recycling colors
This final boss was so good it almost made me cry in tears of joy
I was always confused as to why super sonic had a health bar then while thinking on it realized just how powerful dark gaia is and how worn down and weaken sonic was and it made sense, especially since it replaced his ring counter.
God I miss sonic unleashed, I never cared about what people said about this game in the past. This was honestly such a good sonic game and I even loved the werehog stages.

I remember during my first play through as a kid, I couldn’t press square 60 times, so I needed my cousin to help me. When I finally beat this boss by myself, I felt accomplished
You were able to get past eggmanland?
@@agentblur9637 As a 9 years old kid, yes it took me over 50 minutes. I think my latest play through was about 27 minutes
@@agentblur9637 oh no...
I did it and yeah you know it's difficult but if you learn all the level you can complete the level on S rank and don fachio's of eggmanland,like me :b
BEST FINAL BOSS EVER
If you think about it dark Gaia is canonly the third most powerful foe that sonic has ever faced. The dude was able to stop super sonic away and light Gaia(chip) had no chance alot.
Now I believe eggman is his secondmost powerful as not only on this game stopped super sonic and won, but also in generations basically broke time itself
His strongest foe yet I say has to be Solaris as he was not able to die until the timeline was rebooted, he was able tondestroybthe universe itself and not die until the universe events was removed.
Unlike other games i have played, this is the conclusion, ending, last chapter, final boss i played for. This is what i wanted.
mmm.. childhood memories. makes me almost tear up inside. this is easily my top 3 fav sonic games.
Sonic Unleashed are my fav sonic game of all, and gameplays like this one make me remember the reason why i love so much this game
This final boss was a freaking masterpiece when I was younger and it still is.
Sonic: "All right, Chip! Time for the big finish!"
Chip: "Sonic."
Me: "Chip, not only did you not answer him correctly, that doesn't even make any *damn* sense."
I like when mostly modern sonic games have some unfitting or uncanny valley things like Dark Gaia, Perfect Chaos, Ultimate Life Form, Black Arms and Sonic 06 in general.
same
this game is a literal MOVIE, not just the cutscenes but even the gameplay looks like a movie
Even after all these years, listening to that sound effect when Sonic just bashes into something at high speed is so satisfying, like an intended sonic boom effect.
I know it’s been 11 years but congrats on the S Rank. I have a C Rank on that boss because before the Super Sonic phase, I have trouble reaching the third eye in time when running through the temple grounds. The first two eyes were fine, it’s the third eye that feels like it doesn’t give enough time and has more obstacles to avoid.
I pretty sure this is the most massive creature super sonic has ever fought.
Even though I have mixed feelings for this game when I fought the final boss with super sonic everything felt epic and extremely satisfying I feel like this is probably the best final boss fight I ever played in any sonic game
I was really young when i played this game
4:15 gave me a hard time and i always would lose my lives at that qte and restart the fight.
It took lots of tries and my thumb was getting destroyed everytime but when i finally did it it i felt a rush of euphoria like never before. It was amazing.
I still have this game as my favorite Sonic game imo
this is the most coolest super sonic final battle in franchise
Honestly, I liked fighting Perfect Dark Gaia in the Wii version better. Made it feel more "Super Sonic," to me at least.
I never was able to defeat Perfect Dark Gaia on that version. That one attack where he slashes the entire screen kept killing me.
I'm neutral with PDG. I liked him a little when he slapping Eggman away. Eggman is so annoying and talks too much.
Fly in the middle. He won't reach you.
@@YoshiYoshi456
Yeah me too Eggman sucks as the main antagonist anyway.
Honestly, if I was in charge of a definitive edition, after the button mashing (probably lower the amount of presses and the time to compensate), you’d go straight to the Wii version of the boss.
There was so much this game did right. Critics blasted this game for one experimental aspect of it when there was so much about this game that people genuinely enjoyed. The reception to unleashed scared sonic team away from pushing boundaries and taking risks leading to Forces, a bland, basic, forgettable game that plays things as safe as possible instead of getting creative and moving the franchise forward. I hope Sonic team starts getting ambitious again sooner rather than later.
Honestly, we need to gather every person who liked every aspect of Unleashed (especially the Werehog), have them remind Sonic Team about this underrated crown jewel, and maybe they’ll start taking risks again, and this time, instead of the reviews, focus on the number of sales. Unleashed sold 2.5 million copies.
(3 Years late, I know) LMFAO I CANT STOP LAUGHING AT YOUR NAME
id admit this is my favorite unleashes boss due to the gameplay and the epic orchestra music
