Best Final Boss in a 3D Sonic game?

While Sonic games have been up and down in the 3D realm, the final bosses, even if they weren't Eggman (and all but on in this poll were not), they were pretty awesome. After picking out which were probably the better ones (let's ignore the ones from games like Shadow, Next Gen, or the two storybook games xD), I figured we could have a discussion on best final bosses in general possibly, and obviously see what you all think is the best final boss.

What's your opinion?

I can't help here. I haven't played a 3D Sonic game, but I hope to get Colors because it's actually good. I've only played the 2D games and Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing. Sorry.

The final boss in Colors was a nice change to all the Super Sonic battles. It was like the past in Sonic 2 and Sonic 1 where you were normal Sonic.chocolate1325

Yeah same here. It was nice to finally fight Eggman as the final Sonic boss in a 3D game for a change.

This is a bit tough.

Perfect Chaos was very fun, and just blasting through the destroyed city and fighting a giant monster of water is insane and awesome.

Finalhazard was easier then Biolizard, and the controls were a bit odd.

Metal Overlord involved special stages to fight him, not just completing the stories, and the fight worked well.

Perfect Dark Gaia was very complete, with a fighting part, a part that involved running through the giant temple, and the final Super Sonic battle.

Nega-Wisp was too easy, but the theme was purely incredible.

My final vote would have to go to Dark Gaia, Perfect Chaos in second.

I thought that the final battle in Sonic and the Secret Rings sucked.chocolate1325

It's why I don't mind using the Wii Remote + Nunchuck in Colors: only thing I need to shake for was wisps, which were optional to begin with.

Which is why few people liked Black Knight.

Yeah I was fine with that control scheme in Colors because it didn't feel forced or uneeded and it was nice Sega's been giving players to the choice of which control scheme they want to use. Many fans will tell you that while they love NSMBWii and DKCR, they can't understand why neither game allows for cla$$ic controller options because many DKCR players will note an unfair death do to rolling when they meant to blow on a flower or smack the ground. More than likely Nintendo does this to avoid piracy but clearly Sega isn't worried about that.

It made no sense to me that A) Black Knight didn't have that option or B) Didn't wait for Wiimotion Plus. I mean if they were so hell bent on giving Sonic a sword, they could've taken the time to make it actually work right though the same could be said about Samba D'Amigo on the Wii as well. Seriously devs, Nintendo made that Wiimotion Plus because you all complained about not getting precise enough controls. Secret Rings could've also benefited for a traditional controller option but at least that was because it was an early generation Wii game where everyone was playing around with the controls to see what they could do.

As for Black Knight, having another option would be nice, but at the same time, seem like something odd to do: a sword game for a motion-control console would make sense to use shaking to swing a sword, so the idea must've easily passed over their heads. As for the WiiMotion+, I could agree with what you said.

Honestly I think Metal Sonic is a bit underappreciated. I wouldn't mind seeing more of him instead of *insert godlike entity that Eggman summons here*.Cloud_765

Well at least we know he'll be in Sonic 4: Episode II but yeah, Metal Sonic for a long time was like the Koopalings in the Mario games, everyone liked him as a bad guy yet Sega liked to pretend he didn't exist. Of course some of this is to blame on Shadow showing up not only stealing Knuckles's job of Han Soloesque-anti hero but stealing Metal Sonic's role as evil twin. He's the illegal Mexican of Sonic characters. But at least Sega is decent enough to toss old Metalhead into some of the ensemble games now as a playable character but I know a lot of us want to actually fight him again.

Heck they could make him fight like a combination of Mecha Sonic (S3K) and Silver Sonic (S2).

And when you put it that way (the point about Shadow) I can't disagree, actually. He's taking everyone's jobs!

Well I always sort of saw the Silver Sonic robot at the end of Sonic 2 as the prototype of Metal Sonic. After Robotnick saw Sonic defeat the large metal reproduction of Sonic he realized he needed to make some tweaks, make it smaller, and faster and more nimble to keep up with Sonic.

Too bad I never got to fight him in Sonic Heroes yet.

This is a tough one. Perfect Chaos was really fun to kill, but was also really easy. The FinalHazard was amazing, despite it's control problems. Perfect Dark Gaia would have been better if it wasn't for the very loose controls. The Nega-Wisp Armor was totally epic, but was very hard compared to the other bosses in Colors.

Overall, I'd choose The FinalHazard, because it takes place around a giant spacecraft falling towards Earth. EPIC.

No, I only have 5 chaos emeralds in Heroes. :P

I only haven't fought Solaris or the final bosses of Secret Rings or Black Knight. Fought all the other ones.Cloud_765

I barely have the motivation to try getting all A's in Heroes or all the emblems in the original Sonic Adventure. xD Cloud_765

I was working on some emblems in SA1 which I downloaded but some of the level A missions are tough. I have no idea how to get Sonic to clear Emerald coast in 2 min. I just barely got through Windy Valley in 3min. Though I did do a clean sweep with Tails but have yet to win a chao race and Knuckles "complete without using hints" is a pain because thanks to twitchy controls and camera you all too often accidentally hit one. Plus despite the DX version being the one you play on XBLA it makes you pay extra to unlock the DX content. Major ripoff Sega/Microsoft, I could've bought a used GC copy for the same price.

Still working on the red coins for Colors along with Mario's green stars and DK's puzzle pieces.

If there's one thing I loved about Sonic Adventure, it's the Monkeyball like propensity for creative shortcuts. Anyone else skip half of twinkle park as Sonic by using those barrels at the beginning to hop the fence? (After the car thing, of course)
