Its like why the hell Sonic needs to race in a CAR when he can run faster than one. which applies to Sonic Riders too. why the hell does he need an air board when he can run past the speed of sound?

Most awesome 2-second vid ever.

That's one of the reasons why I loved the first episode of Sonic X so much (Jap BGM works much better than US for that scene, though).

On the other hand, it's also a criticism that can be taken all the way back to Game Gear days....

What IM tired of is "epic orchestrated final boss music!" its annoying and only has the opposite effect of making it UN epic. why couldnt they just have damn played endless possibilities?

Really? You'd rather have that whiny voice pissass Jared Riddick screaming his lungs out while kicking the crap out of a gigantic super-evil being? THAT is mood killing, considering the lyrics are already bad. Leave the main theme for the credits. They actually fit as a "the world is saved! Let's party!" thing.

The orchestrated main themes for final bosses will suffice perfectly fine. If you hate it that much, though, you can thank the stars PS3 and 360 are packing the option for custom soundtracks.

Usually I enjoy the use of the main theme as a final boss battle BGM, but there are exceptions. Unleashed is definitely one of them, I hate its main theme. The actual final boss theme used is decent, not the most epic, but it suffices.

The other is Sonic Heroes, the title theme works as a title theme, but for battle, What I'm Made Of was infinitely better (WHY they didn't use it instead of the Sonic Heroes theme for Brawl, I will never know).

The game that definitely SHOULDN'T have replaced the title theme is Adventure, for Perfect Chaos part 2. The spontaneous switch really breaks the flow, and the second BGM blows anyway.

Yes, I agree there. I never did like Perfect Chaos 2's music. Open Your Heart and Live and Learn seemed to have been high energy enough to work as final boss themes too, and that's fine. His World and Endless Possibility don't fall down this group either, along with Next and Unleashed breaking off into a different musical style from just Jun Senoue and his guitar.

Seven Rings In Hand worked very well as the final final boss theme! I mean, it was flawless!

I did like It Has Come To This for the first Erazor fight though. A lot, actually.

Hypershell · **Reply #230 on:** January 17, 2009, 07:30:14 AM

Much agreed, PB, much agreed...

I can't tell you how much I WOULD be using Seven Rings In Hand in Brawl if I wasn't such a huge Live And Learn addict.

Although I do miss the Genesis days where the final boss music didn't include lyrics but was final boss music with a cool theme.

Flame · **Reply #232 on:** January 17, 2009, 05:22:38 PM

Huh... I liked Endless possibilities, but then again, personal opinion.

I gotta admit, a STH3 final boss remix would be pretty badass....

This song, much like a good chunk of Secret Rings' OST, is sooooo underrated. I'll tell you, honestly, that I really don't care much for hard rock in general outside of a few exceptions, but damn if this one wasn't good.

I'm a fan of the scorpion boss' music. That opening is pretty badass.

Also, that remix of Sonic 3's Final Boss wasn't good... but neither was most of that album. This is one time I'd say Jun Senoue would do a much better job at working on that song.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #237 on:** January 17, 2009, 06:14:22 PM

The best boss music in Secret Rings was EASILY Blue On The Run. Hell, that ranks as one of my favorite all time Sonic songs.

This is utterly random, but serves two purposes:
1. why we'll never see Hyper Sonic in action again, and 2. I feel like it.

They skip a few notes and they tend to ignore background instruments. Other than that, kickass.

Seconded. Blue On The Run was awesome, though as far as I'm concerned, Poison Spear and Unawakening Float aren't far behind.

Hypershell · **Reply #241 on:** January 19, 2009, 05:23:22 PM

Blue On The Run is high up there for me, too. But I'm also a big fan of That's How It Started and It's Come To...... aw hell, I love all the Secret Rings boss themes.

Poison Spear is probably lowest on the list, but it's tough to rank the others.
