@@TheUltimateMachineGodSuper sonic is often credited as being invulnerable, but later games proved that's not the case. The phantom king and the egg salamander using a very specific attack could also injure super sonic. The big arms boss in sonic 3 (not locked on) could straight up knock sonic out of his super form, but that may have been a glitch because when super knuckles fights it in sonic 3 and knuckles, it isn't able to do the same thing. Knuckles also managed to punch sonic out of his super form in that same game, but put as much stock into that as you want, since it makes no sense for knuckles to be stronger than Solaris, perfect dark gaia, metal overlord, etc.
To be fair, Dark Gaia is able to weaken the power of the chaos emeralds, so it’s probably no doubt that just by being around dark gaia weakens sonic’s resistance. In knuckles case he could have probably knew about the chaos emeralds, so he used some kind of power to weaken the emeralds powers. There’s a motif to where sonic’s weakness is him having the power weakened or redirected. What about solaris? Well Solaris is- (despite the game they reside from is poor-quality) is as close as a game made by sega could really get to having a character that is a 4th dimensional being (in this case is position in time) being able to exist in all forms of time. With omnipotent power like that, it would not be a surprise that Super Sonic could be damaged by his attacks, as they technically surpass his own reality.
@@thehighestorder2868 Id's say that Phantom King hurting Super Sonic is because it's using the Phantom Ruby, while Knuckles doesn't hurt him: just knocks him back and makes him drop the emeralds.

Everytime this song starts, I get chills. This just sounds like a FINAL BATTLE! Everything has led up to this point, everything is on the line, which is why you gotta fight all you can with all your power! It's so epic, it's so catchy, and it just fills me with motivation. I love it ^_^
I’m not going to lie, I’m listening to this while driving down the highway. It’s like I can see Eggman in front of me. It’s strong. I feel hell of powerful listening to this.
That's really not saying much. This song has more intensity and emotion than pretty much any song on the radio. And pretty much 99% of music altogether.
Well the thing is, the Rings represent Energy, and the fact it's decreasing is to show that Super Sonic is using up energy, which is why it's important to keep as many rings on you as possible. If it was a Health Bar, it would take away the sense of urgency that the Super Form has.
If super sonic did have a health bar that would ruin the whole point of him being “invincible”(of course there are SOME boss that CAN hurt super sonic)in the first place meaning dat you wouldn’t have been be able to run trough mobs and walk on spikes.
I still maintain this is the PERFECT final boss piece to ever exist. Whenever I judge the music of a final boss I compare it to this. This piece is simply a masterpiece.
Of the 3 games that had their main themes remixed, Endless Possibilities is the most positive one and the fact that they managed to turn it into such a masterful boss theme is incredible. Hell, that's how I'd describe the entire boss theme. No doubt one of my favorite boss themes of all time.
This game is actually one of the best 3D sonic games. People always judge though before they even play the game. Maybe if people had played the game instead of judging then we could of gotten a sequel. The score for this game was lower than 06. People literally hated on this game because of the warehog. I bet they didn’t even try it.
Is so underated to but as my first game i struggled on,it helped boost my determination with the super sonic part. Just wish you could play super in all stages like sonic generations
it's a winter night, you and your best friend are sitting in front of the TV, the wind is blowing outside and it's cold as hell, you are fighting Dark Gaia, you dodge you fly you wait for the perfect moment to attack, the tension can't stop rising, the hype won't let go you went trough all this for that final moment, you can't stop now, you can't let go, you can't allow yourself to lose, all those moments and memories you had playing this game, it doesn't matter what anybody says, inside you know that this game made you feel ways you've never felt before. And you wish you can play it again...
No? I assume that was your experience; I played the game alone and got stuck on Eggmanland for hours and never even got to the final boss. I think it was summer in the middle of the afternoon. I was tired of playing, Eggman could wait. I don’t remember it super well. Game made me feel alright, it was fun sometimes, frustrating others, it was kinda long. I wouldn’t mind playing it again, but I’m not dying to...
Yeah, if it had lyrics it would probably be sonic singing at the endless possibility parts and a scary voice being dark gaia singing at the creature like noises for sonic to give up.
It's a shame that people don't remember Dark Gaia that much compared to some other bosses like the Egg Dragoon. I think it's cause both versions of the fight each excel in their own way. The PS3/360 version is great because while the gameplay isn't that good, it disguises it well with how cinematic it is and that it really has that sense of finality to it, that feeling that this is it, possibly more than any other final boss in the series. The Wii/PS2 version isn't as cinematic but gameplay-wise is designed way better. The Brawl between Dark and Light Gaia and Super Sonic boosting into each of Perfect Dark Gaia's eyes was way more satisfying than the many quick time events of the other fight. If both of these elements were combined into one fight, Dark Gaia would certainly be considered one of the best bosses in the series.
The day stages were better on the Wii/PS2 version. The night stages were more interesting on the Xbox 360/PS3 The first half of Dark Gaia was WAY better on the Wii/PS2 version. The second half (Super Sonic) was more fun on the Xbox 360/PS3 version.
Honestly this boss could've ended the Sonic franchise and I'd be happy. It is climactic as he'll and is just THE final battle any series should end on. Much like Dark Bowser could've been for the Mario franchise.
The thing is, in the Xbox/PS3 version, Quick Time and Input Events are used in most of the night stages in general, and high speed is used in the day stages in general( with some QTAs in the form of yellow dash panels). Not to mention that, for the most part, damage was dealt to bosses with QTAs in night stages and boosting in day. The 360/PS3 fight takes the more consistent elements from the earlier bosses and shoves it into a single, final fight. The ninth and final boss fight, combining the more consistant elements of both the four day stage bosses' fast pace and the four night stage bosses' dealing large damage with quick time events into the Dark Gaia fight. It's a culmination of both dark and light against pure darkness, and a battle to retain that balance world-wide. It speaks volumes, once properly analyzed. The Wii/PS2 version was cool and all, and it was certainly paced a lot more fairly, but the Xbox/PS3 version, in my opinion, is more of the fruit of something built up across the entire game, and something that reflects it in it's gameplay.
Biolizard/Finalhazard: Now you see what it feels like to get absolutely murdered by a literal immortal golden hedgehog. Edit: *I forgot that Perfect Dark Gaia could damage Super Sonic.*
G-Man Not just biolizard. It’s practically every final boss in a sonic game where you play as super sonic (or shadow for shadow the hedgehog and sonic adventure 2 (and silver for that one game we don’t like to talk about))
This music feels you with determination, it actually encourages you to finish off the evil being that wants to destroy everything, like Perfect Dark Gaia for an example.
"The planet's life is on the line, The emeralds have reacted to the pure destruction that will occur, Sonic is the only one left who can stop the pure embodiment of darkness, it's all led up to this, sonic isn't holding back!" " He blasts at light speed underneath the Earth's mantle, Dark Gaia's shields are up, Light Gaia distracts the beast while Sonic finds a way to disarm the shield." "He destroys the source of the shields power and boosts toward Dark Gaia at breakneck speeds, going straight through the middle of it's head and therefore it's brain." "The millenia years old beast has once again been thwarted by the power of light, but leaving Sonic in a weakened state, he can't go on any longer..." "He wakes back at Windmill Isle, the only thing to remember his friend by is his neckbrace." "Good job sonic..."
Just went back to finish sonic unleashed. Tbh so glad I did. As a kid I didn't have the patience to go back and collect all sun and moon medals. But,since I'm 20 now it was not as taxing I had initially thought.
You're not wrong, it really is. Graphics were amazing (even on the Wii version, it was pretty decent for the console), music was spot on, and the plot was probably the most in depth it's ever been for a Sonic game. Too bad we haven't had a Sonic game as of recent that can live up to this game, and it's been 11 years, so almost half of Sonic's whole lifespan. I also really enjoyed the gameplay, more specifically the Werehog stages; I don't understand why it got so much crap. It was different for a Sonic game and very interesting.
This is the best music for giant bosses fight and action battles , also it deserve to be number 1 on top 10 best musics on sonic franchise , not only that , as well when I listen to this EPIC music , it cheers me up , giving me more momentum and higher mood , and keeps me active on every games so mostly I play this Perfect Dark Gaia battle music , EXCELLENT!!!
Super Sonic: *destroys various Eggman Empire cruisers by flying through them* Also Super Sonic: *hits rock and dies* I'm serious though, this boss would of been so much easier without those damn rocks
@@whoisezekiel2099 if you compare most final bosses to Dark Gaia, especially those of Sonic Games, you would understand why Dark Gaia is ESPECIALLY hard.
@@jayb9310 and I do agree Dark gaia was a huge difficulty spike but for such a huge adventure and especially with the test of skill that is egg man land, the boss seemed fitting
This a reminder that this is a fight against a Lovecraftian darkness god, in the center of the earth, in super form, with a light god piloting a mech sized golem made out of temples. I have yet to see this be topped, in any other game the series, and I'm waiting for it with open arms.
Though Sonic Rush is the game the I grew up with(and though it took 11 years cause the Egg King kept beating my entire body into a smoothie), the endless possibilities of his potential is fascinating, and soon, I’ll be getting Sonic Rush Adventure, and hopefully begin to play more of the Sonic Games, but if there’s one way I’m starting my Sonic Journey, it’s with the Rush Games…
The first time I played this game, I got to the final QTE of mashing X 50 times against Dark Gaia for the killing blow. 3:05 played and I never felt more determined to win in a video game
So, in some versions of this game, super sonic has a HP bar, instead of losing rings. In my headcannon, the energy inside the chaos emeralds was refined after it was drained, and now it's more focused.
Imagine this: You and your friends, both from the real and animated world, teaming up to face the embodiment of destruction with the power of the Ancients on your side.
I remember it being hard but I clearly remember only dying like 6 times when fighting Perfect Dark Gaia. On the run, I got lucky and I dodged all of the meteors AND grab enough rings to max out the health bar. I managed to disable the shield when Chip had a sliver of health. I started from Eggmanland with 70 lives and I made it to the final cutscene with around 50 lives
On my life, when I’m racing in the Olympics for a event. I swear I’m playing this in my head. Then I’mma play the endless possibility intro for when I win for me and all sonic fans out there 💯
Always remember making it to this part for the first time at 3am after the long struggle with Eggmanland and man this music hit like a ton of bricks. The feeling I got when I finally did manage to beat the game was incredible.
I've seen all these comments about Perfect Dark Gaia being one of the very few things to actually hurt, physically hurt, Super Sonic (just look at the Archie Comics version of the Perfect Dark Gaia/Super Sonic fight - Sonic actually *felt* Dark Gaia's beam attack through his Super form), but everyone forgets Eggman. Seriously - in the very intro of the very same game, he RIPS Sonic out of his Super form. That's impressive. Very impressive. Eggman's researched Sonic and his limits quite a lot, even when forced to work alongside him he's gathered data that might one day help him to defeat his eternally blue speed demon nemesis. If he would've been able to see the fight between Super Sonic and Dark Gaia, I'm very sure he'd adapt a weapon using synthesized power from some other source that could actually hurt Super Sonic. And don't forget - Dark Gaia's a *lesser deity*. Sonic was going up against a literal lesser GOD.
I think perfect dark gaia is the best final boss Except that part where you can go straight into a boulder in the ps3/xbox version I like a remake of this final boss
I don't care what anyone says. This was not only the best Sonic game, but it also had the best final boss in the series, in my opinion. Yes, the game has its flaws, but I love it to pieces. My 2nd favourite game of all time.
Sonic games have always had incredibly epic final boss music, but the "Tomoya Ohtani epic orchestral remixed vocal theme" trilogy of 06, Unleashed, and Colors will always be top tier, IMO.
This song hits me with a nostalgia blast. Not only i played this game when i was younger, but this theme still hits harder than most songs i’ve listened to.
Wow this is so epic, and it is accompanied by a pretty good and challenging boss, I always remembered that I had to destroy the shield quickly or else chip died and had to do it again, those moments of adrenaline make this boss challenging and great, simply Sonic Unleashed was one of the best games of the franchise and one of the most challenging, I really like it

Maybe even one shot chaos?

"The planet's life is on the line, The emeralds have reacted to the pure destruction that will occur, Sonic is the only one left who can stop the pure embodiment of darkness, it's all led up to this, sonic isn't holding back!" " He blasts at light speed underneath the Earth's mantle, Dark Gaia's shields are up, Light Gaia distracts the beast while Sonic finds a way to disarm the shield." "He destroys the source of the shields power and boosts toward Dark Gaia at breakneck speeds, going straight through the middle of it's head and therefore it's brain." "The millenia years old beast has once again been thwarted by the power of light, but leaving Sonic in a weakened state, he can't go on any longer..." "He wakes back at Windmill Isle, the only thing to remember his friend by is his neckbrace." "Good job sonic..."
When you think you messed up but then hear that you graduated from high school
Just went back to finish sonic unleashed. Tbh so glad I did. As a kid I didn't have the patience to go back and collect all sun and moon medals. But,since I'm 20 now it was not as taxing I had initially thought.
Eggmanland was still hell tho
@@crossshinobi2910 dark gaia was hell for me tbh
haha square button go * brrrrr earape *
No matter what Sonic game I play or watch, there's always a song for me to get hooked on!
Best Sonic game. Better then Colors, Lost World, Generations, Forces, etc. (At least in my opinion)
You're not wrong, it really is. Graphics were amazing (even on the Wii version, it was pretty decent for the console), music was spot on, and the plot was probably the most in depth it's ever been for a Sonic game. Too bad we haven't had a Sonic game as of recent that can live up to this game, and it's been 11 years, so almost half of Sonic's whole lifespan. I also really enjoyed the gameplay, more specifically the Werehog stages; I don't understand why it got so much crap. It was different for a Sonic game and very interesting.
It makes me feel so happy to hear that people love this game just as much as I do :)
@@AquaticManta Yeah, it's such an underrated game
Colors was on par not worse
This is the best Sonic game from the dark age.
Sonic: "Alright Chip, time for the big finish!"
Chip/Gaia Colossus: "Sonic!💪🏼😃"

@Radfarious Blame Sega trying to bury this game's existence lol
@@thunka8033 THIS is the game they wanna bury?! I should be busting a gut, it's that laughable.
@Radfarious And not 20 variations of the Mario and Zelda overworld themes
This is the best music for giant bosses fight and action battles , also it deserve to be number 1 on top 10 best musics on sonic franchise , not only that , as well when I listen to this EPIC music , it cheers me up , giving me more momentum and higher mood , and keeps me active on every games so mostly I play this Perfect Dark Gaia battle music , EXCELLENT!!!

Si, la mejor voz de Sonic.
Super Sonic: *destroys various Eggman Empire cruisers by flying through them*
Also Super Sonic: *hits rock and dies*
I'm serious though, this boss would of been so much easier without those damn rocks
I agree
its a final boss its supposed to be hard lmao
@@whoisezekiel2099 if you compare most final bosses to Dark Gaia, especially those of Sonic Games, you would understand why Dark Gaia is ESPECIALLY hard.
get it with S rank is such a fucking hell
@@jayb9310 and I do agree
Dark gaia was a huge difficulty spike but for such a huge adventure and especially with the test of skill that is egg man land, the boss seemed fitting
This a reminder that this is a fight against a Lovecraftian darkness god, in the center of the earth, in super form, with a light god piloting a mech sized golem made out of temples.
I have yet to see this be topped, in any other game the series, and I'm waiting for it with open arms.
A giant monster, with no interesting personality or lore behind it.
Not that hard to top actually.
Sonic games in the beggining:
Beat the big bad fat scientist
Sonic Games in the 2000's:
Eggman just summoned Cthulhu, go destroy him
why is this right
Sonic Games in 2020's
Lets kill gods and dark gaia level titans
Alright Chip, Time for the BIG finish!
Sonic
Though Sonic Rush is the game the I grew up with(and though it took 11 years cause the Egg King kept beating my entire body into a smoothie), the endless possibilities of his potential is fascinating, and soon, I’ll be getting Sonic Rush Adventure, and hopefully begin to play more of the Sonic Games, but if there’s one way I’m starting my Sonic Journey, it’s with the Rush Games…
3:05 Always hits different
it's something with the guitar for me that hits it.
The first time I played this game, I got to the final QTE of mashing X 50 times against Dark Gaia for the killing blow. 3:05 played and I never felt more determined to win in a video game
When the game you're installing is at 99%

I just beat this game an hour ago it was amazing
A god really got all his eyes poked out by a Super Saiyan Hedgehog.
He pulled an Odysseus I tell you hwat!
Bro the memories 😢. The good ole days.
You can still get the gane it depends of what console you have i have it on Xbox one and the game is on Xbox 360
3:06 perfectly personifies the nostalgia
pov:you're getting bullied but teacher shows up
I cried when chip left sonic and threw him up😭😌.
F
woah
Same
I poorly misread that as Chip regurgitating Sonic
@@BoltMoonSteven Yo my bad lol😂
Best 3D Sonic game and best Sonic soundtrack. 10/10.
Back when Sonic had out of this world boss design and didn't turn Eggman into a clown.
It finally reached 1 mil guys…..about time
I didn't even notice lmao
My favorite final boss in the sonic series. It just screams epic
Haven't heard this for years but heard it in a TikTok, and it all came flooding back.
Still can not believe that bowling for soup made endless possibilities. My word.
Yeah I love this music. It’s my favorite song in this whole game believe it or not.
So, in some versions of this game, super sonic has a HP bar, instead of losing rings. In my headcannon, the energy inside the chaos emeralds was refined after it was drained, and now it's more focused.
As they say, when the main theme of the game starts playing on the final boss, things get hype.
3:05
My favorite part
Yeah me too
@@xenotheiceking4102 Yeah me to.
@@jairoemanuelsosa7885 jajaj
My favorite part is 2:47
Imagine this:
You and your friends, both from the real and animated world, teaming up to face the embodiment of destruction with the power of the Ancients on your side.
That'd be cool.
That's literally the Sonic Frontiers final boss. You predicted the future. They even made a race called the Ancients.
Ngl this is a killer song to work out to
I remember it being hard but I clearly remember only dying like 6 times when fighting Perfect Dark Gaia. On the run, I got lucky and I dodged all of the meteors AND grab enough rings to max out the health bar. I managed to disable the shield when Chip had a sliver of health. I started from Eggmanland with 70 lives and I made it to the final cutscene with around 50 lives
I've never played this game, I came here from one of tempt6's videos, but good lord this is a bop.
If you like sonic then you should play it !! It is one of the best sonic games!!!
I am a sonic fan and watch temp I even beat him well he left bc he was in a tournament but still counts in my book
Sonic unleashed gets so many hates because of the werehog
I enjoyed the Werehog on the Xbox 360.
☹️
I enjoyed the Werehog
I think it's the best part
is is Both good in Concept and as a Mentality
It seems like Unleashed is getting more love lately
Haters say what they want werehog is the best
On my life, when I’m racing in the Olympics for a event. I swear I’m playing this in my head. Then I’mma play the endless possibility intro for when I win for me and all sonic fans out there 💯
The sound effect when Super Sonic hits Dark Gaia's Shields and charges at him with the QTE is so hype and perfect.
When you been in UA-cam for 12 years and are filled with pride and determination to keep making good lp content
"There is only one possibility for you, Dark Gaia! And that is your demise!"
Man I could listen to this for years maybe even centuries and I’ll never get bored of it!!! Love the final battle of Perfect Dark Gaia
Alright Chip! Time for the big finish!
I swear i can here bits of Reach For The Stars Tonight in this.
Even if you didn't enjoy the gameplay so much, you cannot deny that this game did the music RIGHT.
*”Heeeere’s Sonic!”*
Kids play GTA and Call of Duty.
*Real men play Sonic Unleashed*
Thats true
True
Good thing I still play it
Si claro que sí.
I wish I'd played this game 10 years earlier, it's so good
Always remember making it to this part for the first time at 3am after the long struggle with Eggmanland and man this music hit like a ton of bricks. The feeling I got when I finally did manage to beat the game was incredible.
They should’ve used this track in the Sonic movie.
Perhaps they'll use this in later sequels if there's a bigger threat in the Sonic Movieverse.
Omg that would be amazing
Movie sonic doesn't deserve music this epic lol
Nah, that Alvin and the Chipmunk rehash doesn't deserve this song.
I've seen all these comments about Perfect Dark Gaia being one of the very few things to actually hurt, physically hurt, Super Sonic (just look at the Archie Comics version of the Perfect Dark Gaia/Super Sonic fight - Sonic actually *felt* Dark Gaia's beam attack through his Super form), but everyone forgets Eggman. Seriously - in the very intro of the very same game, he RIPS Sonic out of his Super form. That's impressive. Very impressive. Eggman's researched Sonic and his limits quite a lot, even when forced to work alongside him he's gathered data that might one day help him to defeat his eternally blue speed demon nemesis. If he would've been able to see the fight between Super Sonic and Dark Gaia, I'm very sure he'd adapt a weapon using synthesized power from some other source that could actually hurt Super Sonic. And don't forget - Dark Gaia's a *lesser deity*. Sonic was going up against a literal lesser GOD.
Whoever is listening to this….
Don’t give up
Dark Gaia was the final character in the game and the final part then chip died 12 years ago #Sonicunleashed rip
he still there
alive
Efren Mendoza Garcia oh
Jay Walker he just went back to sleep with dark Gaia, chip will always remember sonic the next time he fights dark Gaia
E.J-Money oh ok
AKA, the official anthem of _"AAARGH, since when was Super Sonic this much of a wimp?!"._
Compared to Sonic Final Bosses nowadays, at least this HAS Super Sonic.
@@thesupershinymegagengar2034 So does Generations.
@@BisonGaming3334 Yeah. Shame that's the last time Super Sonic is ever part of a final boss, now.
@@thesupershinymegagengar2034 Let's just say you'll really like Frontiers...
@@royal_kim1154 Already did.
I think perfect dark gaia is the best final boss
Except that part where you can go straight into a boulder in the ps3/xbox version
I like a remake of this final boss
Playing on the wii it was more or less easy to dodge most of the rocks but the second to last eye always gave me trouble.
If you ask me this is the best final boss theme of all time.
I don't care what anyone says. This was not only the best Sonic game, but it also had the best final boss in the series, in my opinion. Yes, the game has its flaws, but I love it to pieces. My 2nd favourite game of all time.
He's great with actual instruments, but TERRIBLE with synths.
Sonic games have always had incredibly epic final boss music, but the "Tomoya Ohtani epic orchestral remixed vocal theme" trilogy of 06, Unleashed, and Colors will always be top tier, IMO.
Colors Ultimate showed that he sucks ass at using only synths though
Best final boss in a Sonic game.
Si, y lo mejor es que es de los mejores jefes finales de Sonic de todos los tiempos.
The best final boss theme in the entire franchise. There’s a very good reason why I mod it into other Sonic games over their respective final bosses
Oh yeah? Well if you ask me, there's one thing that's for sure about Dark Gaia.
This song hits me with a nostalgia blast. Not only i played this game when i was younger, but this theme still hits harder than most songs i’ve listened to.
When you have to get your chores done before mom comes home crunch time 😆

Heard Epic Legendary Final Battle Music Once, Remembered For Life!
Wow this is so epic, and it is accompanied by a pretty good and challenging boss, I always remembered that I had to destroy the shield quickly or else chip died and had to do it again, those moments of adrenaline make this boss challenging and great, simply Sonic Unleashed was one of the best games of the franchise and one of the most challenging, I really like it
