We all know that a story mode called the Subspace Emissiary will feature fightable bosses. Only question is, will all franchises have at least one Boss? If yes, does that include 3rd party ones? Will this thread is gonna be used to talk about maybe the most likely of the Sonic bosses. I have 4 ideas that both have likely probability. I have listed Advantage & Disadvantages
Sonic Boss I: Dr. Robotnik/Eggman
Full Name: Dr. Ivo Robotnik
1st Apperence: Sonic the Hedgehog (Sega Genesis, 1991)
Special Abilities: I.Q. of 300, Ability to make Death Machines
Description: The 1st villian in the Sonic series, a true classic for the Sonic fanboys: Dr. Robotnik, Now known as Dr. Eggman was as Bowser was to Mario, as he was to Sonic. His 1st games had him turn poor animals into Robots that Sonic had to set free. Not to mention he built what was inspired by one of the greatest Sci-fi movies of all time (The Death Egg was based on the Death Star from Star Wars). His appearence and voice has changed throughout the years. The 1st time he had a voice was not a game however, but rather in the cartoons. He didn't get a real voice in the games until 1999 in Sonic Adventure, the same time Sega changed his named to Eggman. Robotnik is a likely choice for boss because of his reference to all of the Sonic franchise's history, he started as the main boss and still is. If Sakauri wanted a true boss for the Sonic franchise, he would be it
Advantages
*1st Boss of the Sonic Franchise
*His place in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
*Any of his Huge machines could be a great idea for a Boss Stage
*More non-Sonic Fans would know him better then the others listed here
Disadvantages
*His machines lack the strength of the the other bosses shown. Sakauri may choose something tougher (Of course this doesn't much affect the chances of it)
Sonic Boss II: Metal Sonic (Or any other Variation of him)
1st Appearence: Sonic CD (1993, Sega CD)
Special Abilities: Many abilties like Sonic, plus a Dark Sheild
Description: A very popular villian who surpisingly does not recurr alot in the Sonic series. His 1st appearence was in Sonic CD. Where Sonic had to race him and save Amy Rose from his grasp. He also has a different variation called Mecha Sonic that appeared in Sonic & Knuckles, who is almost as popular if not more. His current appearence was in Sonic Heroes, where he transformed into Metal Madness and then Metal Overlord. Since then, he hasn't made another appearence except maybe in Cameos. Will Brawl feature him as a boss?
Advantages
*2nd most popular in this thread
*Classic Villian
*Could be paired up with Robotnik because he created him.
*His other forms may be great examples for Boss material
Disadvantages
*Although Classic, is less popular then Robotnik
*His shortage of appearences is a negative factor.
*Shows clone attacks to Sonic (Luigified Boss????)
Sonic Boss III: Biolizard
(I'm sorry if I have the Sonic X one, I couldn't find Artwork)
1st Apperence: Sonic Adventure 2 (2001, Dreamcast)
Abilities: Dark Electric blasts, Tail whap, Chaos Control
Description: A more recent Villian, Biolizard is the prototype to Shadow the Hedgehog. He was the final boss in SA2 & SA2: Battle the same exact game pretty much. He fought Shadow during the last story and then faced Super Sonic & Shadow, which led to his death, and what was originally Shadow's death. With this guy's size & abilites he may be a good candidate for boss. However, many things put him at a disadvantage as seen below. But it would just be too awesome to have THIS song(press click here)
Advantages
*Huge lumbering size provides
*Abilities good enough for an orginal boss
*SA2 is being represented, as proven by Live & Learn song
Disadvantages
*Least known & popular
*Many Sonic fanboys may be outraged for choosing a more recent one
*DEAD Villian (Super Sonic & Shadow kill him)
*Too Powerful?? (It took Super Sonic & Shadow just to beat him)
Sonic Boss IV: Chaos (any form)
(His original form)
1st Apperence: Sonic Adventure (1999, Dreamcast)
Abilties: Water Flexibility, extendable arms, several forms depending how many Chaos Emeralds are absorbed
Description: Chaos is the main recurring villian in Sonic Adventure, the 1st Sonic 3D game (Not counting 3D blast or Sonic Jam). His motive was taht he was angry at people for what has been done to him in the past. he is the guardian of the Chao, the creatures you take care of if you wanted to in the Adventure series. They were knocked down by a echidna tribe which caused him to attack. A female echidna named Tikal, who befriended him pleaded to the master emerald to stop him. But as a price, she is trapped in the Emerald with him. In the game, he is Sonic's main blocker when he himself is trying to collect the emeralds. Chaos eventually gets them all and faces Super Sonic at the end. While Chaos wasn't killed like Biolizard was, he was made nicer somehow (I still don't know how a punch from Super Sonic in the brain can make you nicer). His recent appearences are Sonci Adventure DX which was a remake, and Sonic battle. Where he had a minor part of the story, he was jush fought and nothing else happened except you unlocked him. His liquid abilites make him another good idea. However, he has his weaknesses
Advantages
*Liquid makes great orginial Boss material
*Since Live & Learn made it, it is possible that Open Your Heart can make it too. Which was Sonic Adventure's main theme.
*His many forms
Disadvantages
*While recurring, is only more popular then Biolizard then anybody on this list
*Once again, outrage at current villians from fanboys
*While not dead, he is in fact "Non-canon" in games after Sonic Adventure due to him being back in the Emerald with Tikal
*Depending on which form, may be considered too powerful. Especially in Perfect form, Only Super Sonic could defeat the Perfect form.
Now I am not saying that there is goign to be one, we're not even sure of Sonic's role in it yet, or if he even gets a role. But I doubt that Sonic & Mario posing at that video was a coincidence. Also, we've seen Stickers and music from the series. If a 3rd party boss from Metal Gear shows up, there's ought to be one from here. We're getting more 3rd party stuff then most people realize, and Bosses may not be that far from having one.
