Hunter Christopherson In the 3DS version, only Tails gets captured by the Time Eater. And in the XBOX version, everyone gets thrown into Null Space. So that's why in the 3DS version, Tails doesn't warn Sonic about Eggman's attacks.
Actually, taking Sonic Mania into account this would make more sense. His Drop Dash could be seen as Classic's way of mimicking Modern Sonic's boost. He seems to be able to pull it off somewhat, but ultimately he can't control it yet, so he used what he learned to develop something easier to manage instead. This wouldn't make sense with the Homing Attack because that technique is purely aerial while Boosting is hybrid and, albeit Drop Dashing requires jumping to start it, its practical effect is exclusively ground-based.
This is the better version because you don't hear "That looks like a homing shot!!" every 2 seconds. Now, please 'scuse me while I go praise the mute button.
I always found the 3ds version of this boss to be more interesting because each of his attacks are all different and unique in their own ways and you actually feel punished for getting hit by them. With classic sonic if you're hit by an attack the Time Eater will repeat the attack, (only once though) which will stall you and if your hit but the same attack twice no rings will spawn and you will lose more rings; and with modern sonic if you're hit you get sent back away from the Time Eater which also stalls you and you will lose more rings. This makes the boss more challenging and just overall more interesting to fight rather than just holding down the boost button and hoping you get close enough to touch it like in the Xbox/PS3/PC versions. My main problem with this boss however is that even if the boss itself is more challenging, that challenge is immediately tossed away by the fact that they give you way too many rings in this fight. Even if your not doing to great its very easy to get over 200 rings which equates to over 3 mins, (since rings count down by the second) that the Time Eater would have to stall you while you're still picking up even more rings over time. I think if this boss fight had a little less rings it would be perfect.
Nah disagree, the amount of rings is not that generous, i literally run out of them fairly quickly in 3rd 3D section And Ive run out of them again in 4th 2d section These bosses woulve been better if this 8 lives of them would be shortned to 4, 8 for hard mode
Still makes no sense as Avatar cant boost and Classic only learns it in the end of 3DS Generations but not the console ones where he fails the airboost.. not to be used in anygames.. blaze at least has her own version of boost
1:12 I like the way "Then I'll have twice as much fun defeating you!" is delivered specifically in this version because it goes all silent for a moment I like to think it's being said in a creepy kind of tone instead of a cheery tone in all other versions.
This is so much better than the console version's final boss. Also, I never noticed that the music changed depending on which Sonic you were controlling...
Fun fact: Sometimes when eggman get's hurt in this version the game plays the incorrect voice clip and intead plays the spanish version of the line ("No está mal" meaning "Not bad")
Despite there not being any sort of significant animation for the last cutscene, it felt a lot less stupid since there wasn't that part where all sonic's friends show up, cheer him on, and then do nothing but give him useless tips all day.
Imagine if the console was like this. Have the good graphics in the final boss, and have these attacks. That would be lit instead of hitting the core multiple times
You’re hitting the core multiple times in the 3DS version. The difference here is that in the console version, it’s boost to win even more than Forces.
Besides Tails, Sonic's friends aren't even in this version of the game. The story is that Sonic came too early to the party and Tails is the only one there so far.
THE ALMIGHTY LOAF do you play games for challenge or not? I own both versions and i found the console version boring and not challenging, whereas this version actually challenges me and I like being able to fly around in an open space.
@@colingznetwork781 pretty much, imo I think this game is pretty average. But, I will give the 3DS version character for making the final boss fun unlike the ps3 version
This is by far the better version of the fight. For 1, you don’t have the entire cast bickering in your ear for the entire fight pointing out obvious attacks. 2- you actually have to do more than just go in a straight line.
I played this to death when I was young and THIS was the hardest thing. Looking back it looks so much more easy, this was physically and mentally troubling to me back then.
I remember first hitting the Time Eater with Classic Super Sonic and mishearing the line as "Where's the mug?" That alone is enough to prefer this version, but the fight itself is also harder and just more fun, y'know? Well, except when he has 3 hits left. *I HATE YOU CLOCK HANDS!* The only reason I got farther than that was sheer luck. But still, I enjoyed this fight and I think it pretty much seals the deal for me. Say what you will, but I prefer the 3DS version of Sonic Generations overall, and not just because of Classic Robotnik's search for the mug while Modern Eggman wonders to himself if something may just be the matter he speaks of.
Love the extra rare glitch of the time tunnel missing at the start. Fatter Eggman: "Take a look." *Sonic looks and then attacks* Eggman: "Worse to learn." At the end, Time Eater wants to crunch you a final time but stops for whatever reason. I'm not sure how but hitting the shield with a boost a specific way will deflect sonic a mile or so away and Time Eater is so far that it only performs 1 warping arm attack before closing in.
I tested this once. On the final part of this boss when he says "I'm not giving up yet!", I stopped moving to see what he was going to do... He just stood there looking "battle-ready" or something, but no attack was launched. GREAT JOB SEGA!
Colin GZ // Gamer Boy At least it doesn’t have the repetitive gameplay and quotes such as the characters randomly saying the same all over again and just only boost until you reach it.
Am I the only one that thinks for the classic sonic part of the fight it should've been kind of like in doomsday zone from sonic and knuckles where you have to deflect his projectiles to break some sort of shield, then ram into him? Please tell me I'm not the only one
Y'know, looking back. Classic phase of the Time Eater somewhat unintentionally prepared me for the End boss fight in Frontiers years later. Those lasers use to give me so much trouble.
That scream at 8:10 sounds like robotnik has been set on fire... it sounds a little to agonized for this game. Sounds like something you’d hear in one of the more realistic Sonics. Like sa2 or shadow.
I'm surprised that the modding community hasn't figured out how to make custom boss fights for the PC version. I'd definitely take this version of the Time Eater fight (though with the PC and Console version final attack) over the one in the PC and Console version.
Man, this fight is SO much better than the console version. It’s actually a challenge, doesn’t require you to just hold X to win, and doesn’t make you want to rip your ears off. Dimps always seems to do better with final bosses than Sonic Team. Only exception is Colors.

think you can dodge this!? nope.
four letters s-a-m-e. I hate the arm attack so much that when Dr. Eggman says "Is something the matter?" I say: "Yeah you're taking cheap shots"
dude i dodge them at my first try its not even that hard
The fact that this boss in better than the HD version.
ikr
Agreed
Yep
Fr and more difficult
@@fibris7429 no the original made me rip my hair out. It’s so difficult.
Something I like about this boss is that during an attack cycle , if you get hit at ANY point during a cycle, it resets until you dodge it completely.
Same

depends on where his arms are at. It only applies when they are east and west.

Sonic's friends actually shut up in this version, but Eggman can't shut up.

Is NO ONE gonna talk about how Time Eater used Dark Gaia's laser beam attack?
Bro for real
To be fair The Time Eater is a super entity with time and space powers. So replicating the power from a creature in the past seems plausible.
This version was so much more fun, though Super Sonic should've been available in all levels.

Brandon Wade why not?
Because we don't have: "it's look live a homing shot"

Those darn Quick Time events! They were few and far in between in the other versions, but 3DS got the most of them.

Best way to the boss because the fight actually takes skill and theres no screaming ahout a homing shot every 2 seconds

the start of super sonic immediatley having 100 rings

In 3ds: we will proceed not to say anything but without 20 characters out of nowhere
