Top 5 Final Bosses

I didn't know how to go about this, be it visual design, gameplay, or what. I ultimately went with a mix of all of that.

1. Chaos (Sonic Adventure 1)
2. Death Egg Robot (Sonic 2)
3. Nega-Wisp Armor (Sonic Colors)
4. Metal Overlord (Sonic Heroes)
5. Phantom King & Klepto Mobile (Sonic Mania)

It's a decent opportunity to talk about the final bosses as a whole, I guess. I think sometimes they miss the mark, especially when they branch out from Eggman. For instance, you might notice that Sonic Adventure 2 isn't on the list because that final boss, while the moment is cool and it's pretty fun, it's actually the dumbest. Final Hazard is the shits. You cannot convince me that stupid lizard attached to a space station is cool, even if it's fucking rad to fight and Live & Learn really carries it.

I think Eggman creations are really good. There were some of them that got bumped off the list that I actually enjoy, but aren't as satisfying to play against. And I like a lot of the near-final bosses too from Eggman. But when you get to stuff like Solaris and Dark Gaia, they just completely blow. A couple of the handheld bosses fall off of this too because they just aren't as fun to play against? I mean, they're final for a big final boss feel, but it's just not as fun.

Overall, final bosses in the Sonic games are pretty hit or miss. Give me Eggman robots and mechs and such and I'll usually be happy though.
