Eggman got betrayed but *didn't* lose out on true final boss status. I love that the final fight is a three-way bout between Sonic, Eggman, and Heavy King.

So Sonic Mania explains how Classic Sonic shows up in Sonic Forces? Neat.

If they hadn't shown Sonic at the end, I would have thought Sonic actually died

[vissova]

I like that Robotnik and Heavy King are constantly fighting for the Ruby during the boss battle. Usually Robotnik sits it out while Sonic takes care of the final boss.

2:16 HE'S STRONG ENOUGH TO MAKE SUPER SONIC LOSE RINGS?!?!

6/21/2023 Edit: I should've said this from the start, but I was surprised that an *Eggman creation* was able to damage Super Sonic, *not that he was able to be damaged at all!* I am well aware that Super Sonic is able to be harmed by deities and similar entities, it was the fact that *Eggman made him* that made it surprising! And no, I am not counting Big Arms because *that is a glitch!* In Sonic 3 & Knuckles, which was originally intended to be the canon version of Sonic 3, that bug was fixed, clearly showing that Big Arms hurting Super Sonic *was not intended!* And no, I don't care if it was retconned so that the separate games are canon instead, the fact they fixed the glitch in S3&K still means that it is *not* canon that Big Arms can hurt Super Sonic because it was not the developer's intention for that to happen! As because some people mentioned that Knuckles was able to knock Sonic out of his Super Form, the reason he was able to do that is because one, Sonic was not expecting it due to being *absolutely unaware of Knuckles' existence* and was relatively inexperienced with the Emeralds, and two, Knuckles has the same, if not greater control over Chaos Energy than Sonic does, (which was demonstrated again by him stopping the Chaos Emeralds in Sonic Adventure 2), so it makes perfect sense for him to have been able to do so.

Take a look at the time score tho
That's awesome

[只是約翰紐約市]

I like the fact that Heavy King can damage Super Sonic because it uses power blasts (like magic can be defeated only by magic) while Eggman cannot damage Sonic since he uses mechanisms

3:22 Listen to this specific part of the music. Sound familiar? IT'S FIST BUMP FROM SONIC FORCES

3:57 The same exact sound effect Infinite used when preforming his cube attack in SONIC FORCES villians trailer.

4:41 See the pose Classic Sonic is doing? The same exact pose he did when he was revealed in the SONIC FORCES reveal trailer!

Call it coincidental all you want, but 3 COINCIDENCES IN A ROW!? C'mon this whole boss fight is basically screaming "HEY DIPSHIT! MANIA'S CONNECT CONNECTED TO FORCES!"

[proxbox]

People are complaining about the ending because it hints that this game ties into Forces, and are even going as far as saying that this ruined the game for them.

Look if a game ties into and foreshadows another it's not being a "glorified advertisement" it's called continuity, and i'm sorry but if you're gonna let a CUTSCENE ruin a game as perfect as this then you need to rethink your standards. I'm not trying to shit on the-okay i am, i'm saying your standards are garbage if this ruined the game for you.

1:13 Dr. Eggman just finished watching Jojo Stardust Crusaders prior to this fight.

[chrisjoseph]

Out of any Sonic game, this became my favorite final boss. I originally liked Adventure 2's final boss the best, but this one took the cake.

[ninjamaster]

Anyone else notice the time going nuts in the second phase?

[casualfish]

look at the pose in the ending, now look at the pose classic sonic does in the forces trailer

[SpindashStudios]

This was a fight to survive with enough rings to keep your Super form to last the battle. And with the timer going nuts and the music driving the intensity, this final boss was damn well epic!

[ChaosxCommentary]

ITS NOT A TIMESTONE. It's confirmed to be the PHANTOM RUBY.

[hotchocolate]

IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW
SINCE SONC WASN'T THERE FOR ABOUT 25 YEARS, EGGMAN TOOK OVER! MIND BLOWN!

Edit; I understand it's still a theory, but there's a lot of evidence stating this happens to connect with forces. But ask yourself this, where else would classic sonic go?

He got shot into the future or a place in time, and you know what else is happening in the future, sonic forces, you know who else appears, classic sonic. Even if the thing doesn't make sense, ask yourself, where is classic sonic going anyway?

[JohnDoe-dvzb]

Hopefully a future installment will bring the super emeralds and hyper forms back in this style. That would be so epic.

[misterholmes]

I remember seeing this for the first time and I saw the emeralds moving around him and I already knew what was up and I yelled "SUPER SONIC". That makes me so happy.

[metalgearlamia]

And thus Classic Sonic and the Gem goes to Forces awesome now I'm more hype November can't come soon enough!

[mrsonicedge]

And thats how classic sonic crossed into Sonic Forces
