This time around, rather than focusing on specific characters, we’re gonna focus on
specific boss battles - since, let’s be honest, our part one video pretty much exhausted
all of the noteworthy fast villains in the series.
So you might see some repeat offenders on this list, but from different boss battles
in the Sonic games in which they proved themselves to be a speedy challenge for the blue blur.
With that in mind, let’s get into the list!
10 Egg Salamander The final boss of Sonic Rush, the Egg Salamander
is a foe you take on with Blaze.
It's essentially a giant robotic lizard that moves around from the foreground to the background
and fires different attacks at you.
Its hovering may not be overly hasty, but in terms of attacks its quick, and depending
on your profenciency with Sonic games, hard to dodge.
Aside from having a pretty diverse arsenal, there's also some asteroids you have to dodge
in the process, making for an overall exciting boss battle that culminates in a super powerful
tackle from both Blaze and Sonic combined.
9 Perfect Chaos While Perfect Chaos is also the final boss
battle in Sonic Adventure, we're taking a look at the fast paced battle between you
and it that takes place in Generations, which is arguably one of the better developed, more
fun Sonic 3D games out there.
While Perfect Chaos itself may be pretty static in place, it's the beasts attacks that make
it speedy – its hard to dodge its projectiles, and in order to combat it, you must speed
around a destroyed city scape to gain momentum.
8 Puyo Puyo Eggman Battle – Sonic Mania While this may be an unconventional choice
for a fast Sonic villain, this second boss battle in the Chemical Plant Zone Act 2 is
a major throwback to the Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine game.
And just like Puyo Puyo, the gameplay can get pretty speedy, sometimes unexpectedly.
7 Flying Boss – Studiopolis Zone in Sonic Mania
One of the reasons why fans love Sonic Mania is that the game's mechanics allow for the
fast paced aderaline fueled gameplay that the original Genesis games are known for.
Meaning many of the bosses featured in the game are exactly that – fast AF.
This Act 1 boss is no exception.
While having to run along a track, Sonic and Tails must avoid all of the deadly projectiles
that this flying robotic beast tosses their way.
There's a lot going on, and you've got to do your best to keep up, especially when you've
got to hit its own missiles in order to get them to rebound and knock out the Flying Boss
in order to cause it damage.
6 Egg Dragoon Speaking of flying bosses, lets move on to
another one from Sonic Generations – the Egg Dragoon.
During your boss battle with this mechanical dragon created by Eggman, this described representation
of the absoulte pinnacle of mad science manages to keep up with the blue blur, staying ahead
of you and tossing back icy projectiles.
Its also a worthy competitor, busting out moves like trapping Sonic with its arm that
transform into a wall that closes in on you.
While all this goes on, you have to keep up with Robotnik's creation while speeding over
open pits of lava, which is no easy feat.
Things slow down a little during the second half of the boss battle, but it's still enjoyable.
5 Silver the Hedgehog – Sonic Generations Silver is a bit of an exception on this list
– while the character is traditionally a good guy, theres been a few instances in which
he and Sonic have gone head to head in a Rival Battle – aka a friendly boss battle.
While the first time you fight Silver – as an antagonist may I add – is in Sonic 06,
this Generations battle is signifcantly better.
First off, you don't have to listen to Silver say It's No Use!
A thousand and one times.
Secondly, this battle is incredibly fast paced, with Silver using his psycokinetic abilities
to toss objects at you – like cars – and you have to be quite quick in order to dodge
them.
All and all, it's a good hearted rival match against another speedy character in the Sonic
universe, and it definitely makes for a whole lot of fun.
4 Egg Wizard This baddie from Sonic Rush Adventure is a
menacing one – first off, it's called the Egg Wizard, and it looks like this, so, there's
that.
But more importantly, this battle takes place along a river of magma in the Deep Core zone
– the 'true' final stage of the game.
The action is fast paced as you take on this wizard with Blaze, and it gets intense.
Aso worth noting, it has a great soundtrack.
3 Shadow the Hedgehog – Sonic Generations While some of you may be a little shocked
to see Shadow on this list, it's done in good faith – he may not be a villain, but he
most definitely is an adversary, and during Sonic Generations, there's an epic Rival Battle
with him that is among some of the faster and utterly hypnotizing speedy duels that
Sonic engages in during in the entirity of the Sega franchise.
2 Eggman & Egg Robo – Sonic Mania Refering to the final hidden battle with Eggman
in Sonic Mania in the Titanic Monarch Zone, that is.
If you manage to collect all the Chaos Emeralds by completing the Special Stages in the game,
this final battle will be unlocked after you take on Robotnik's Octopus-esque form at the
very end of the game.
In your Super Sonic form, you fly around taking on not only Robotnik, but another one of his
robot creations, a secret Egg Robo, with the two using the Phantom Ruby to super charge
themselves.
You whip around facing both of them, and must move quickly in order to avoid getting hit
by one of their very potent attacks, which include projectiles of all sorts, robotic
punches, and balls of energy that can cause quite the sting.
1 Sonic Mania - Metal Sonic race While Eggman definitely gives Sonic a run
for his money, its undeniable that Metal Sonic has consistently been Sonic's fastest antagonist
over the years.
With an obsession to be better than the hedgehog he's modelled after, Metal Sonic will go to
no end to try to defeat our courageous hero.
This battle featuring Metal Sonic is one of the more notable ones over the years, taking
into account the speedy gameplay mechanics of Sonic Mania, combined with the characters'
organic haste that leaves players' hearts racing by the end of the confrontation, with
the race against him only getting progressively faster as you build momentum.
Oh, and there's also a giant wall with spikes speeding behind you that will anhiliate you
if you can't keep up.
There we have it!
