Originally the battle was closer to the CD, but they removed it when Encore came out because it was broken (Simultaneously being too hard yet too easy to exploit)
I'm surprised that for once we aren't fighting metal Sonic in a race but a actual fight. Sure. In the first phase it was a race second phase. It was an homage to the silver Sonic from the old Sonic 2. Then the last phase was in homage to knuckles team chaotics with metal Sonic Kai
The problem I had with this boss is that I didn’t know I had to spin dash so I would just walk into him and fall behind and die. Other times the laser would just kill me.
This was just patched into sonic mania. It’s not part of the sonic mania plus add on. The original boss fight has just been completely removed from the game.
@@WL-bs4nc meh, it kinds of ruin the original intent of metal sonic in cd, who was made to be a better version of sonic at what he does best : being fast. Here he just transforms into a big and slow robot shooting lasers. I know its a reference to knuckle chaotix wich is cool, but it is still dissapointing that it goes against the character in itself. Especially when you consider that you cant choose between the original boss fight and the new one, its one of the small flaws of sonic mania imo.
@kuma#sama The first phase is the fast paced race between sonic and metal, while the final phase is basically egg man testing out what the phantom ruby can do
It’s an update that was made around late 2018 when plus was introduced either way there gonna update but I am upset because I liked the old boss fight better. I just wish they made an update that would give us the ability to select what Metal Sonic boss fight we want
@@Pink5G But here's the problem, if I roll into Metal Sonic, I roll off the platform and die. if I try to jump during the laser part, it's random timing and doesn't have a consistent timing, so I get hit. Whenever I get on the last hit on Metal Sonic, then I die because of the laser.
Moving spike walls is kind of a lame idea for a boss, it's not REALLY a fight. At least this one has more character and a really sick sprite to look at!
I was expecting to fight metal like in the original battle, I was completely caught off guard when Metal Sonic Turned into a Giant
Same

phantom ruby giant
me same
chaotix?
Ok so I was supposed to spin dash into him. That’s why I kept falling to my death.
i just lost 16 livs and a continue and soon as I seen this I thought"why didn't I think of that? "
Same until that I couldn't beat him without Super Sonic
I was literally making the same mistake as you lmao
@@wavycricket5717 no bc i just lost 17 lives and a continue too lmao 😭
Same💀
This whole time, I HAD TO DASH INTO HIM??!
IKR
⬇️+🅰️
Mhm like for fucks sake I have tried to beat this boss for like 2 hours +the time to get there
i've beaten the boss first time lol
Same over here tho lol
glad to know I'm not the only one here to figure out how you actually fight him
I had to remember to spin dash when his right arm (the one that damages you) is up to attack him.
Do you mean the opposite
Do you mean down
Both up and down
I beat it first try with this little tidbit, thanks
Dude thanks so much! I have spent an eternity on this boss

Not only a homage to Metal Sonic Kai but also gameplay wise to the final boss of Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
This should've been the final phase to the original
@@bossslayer5986 it is ?
Oh the video made it look like it was the whole fight
Got Plus and decided to replay the game cause it’s awesome, I was caught off guard by the fact that Metal Sonic Kai made an appearance.
The problem I had with this boss is that I didn’t know I had to spin dash so I would just walk into him and fall behind and die. Other times the laser would just kill me.
The laser doesnt hit me, its the stupid balls
My favorite part about this boss is that when robotnik gives metal the emerald thing metals just flying around like "weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
It's called "phantom ruby"
This was a strange battle, I decided to straight push him even if I risked dying but, believe me or not, I survived and beaten the boss
something i haven't noticed while fighting this boss myself is that the eggman tower in the background is actually a 3d model
I kept trying to wait for the right arm to go down so I can jump on it but I was brutally wrong
Looking back i remember the old Metal Sonic Battle and this one is definitely superior.
And also "Aaah its Metal Godzilla"
Mecha Godzilla 🗿
Actually, due to international copyrights, it is not Metal Godzilla.
@@MrMendeezyStill! We still have to run like its Metal Godzilla!
@@Likgaty15 Though it isn’t.
@@kingcamelot1395 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I know this is 3 years old but my god thank you
I don’t know how, but I saw this version in the og sonic mania a couple days ago, still cool though.
This was just patched into sonic mania. It’s not part of the sonic mania plus add on. The original boss fight has just been completely removed from the game.
Oh, it’s cool though, I like this version a lot more anyways.

@@WL-bs4nc yeaaah but i dunno, i wouldve prefered if they kept it has it is, must be only me tho.
8 or 9 hits till defeat.
Now i finally can beat this guy!
Im glad they changes the last part. It felt so bad.
I didn’t download mania plus, I somehow still got this boss fight
It’s an update that was made around late 2018 when plus was introduced either way there gonna update but I am upset because I liked the old boss fight better. I just wish they made an update that would give us the ability to select what Metal Sonic boss fight we want
@@ferro_drip189so that explains it. I thought I was trippin when the transformation happened.
@@TrueJediLegend yeah, unfortunately Sega and the developers doesn’t have bright ideas if operating things
Fun fact: the giant metal sonic was inspired from knuckles chaotix
Wait you can spindash him!? Ive been falling to my death trying to jump attack him
We've all been here. Even I mainly jumped before realising "Oh duh I've got to spin dash so I don't bounce off course."
You're telling me...all I had to do...WAS DASH INTO HIM!!??
This is like Sonic 3 & Knuckles final boss phase 2
this helped me beat him. thanks for posting this
Sonic Mania Content Farms: this is where the fun begins.
Idk how people didn’t know how to spindash him. It was pretty intuitive to me back when I played it (I was like 8)
You know when I was in stardust act 2 I went crazy when I saw matal sonic like that!
I really think This form name Its phantom metal Sonic Kai
No the game label the sprites as Giga Metal
@@thevenomspino thought*
You're still technically right since it was obviously inspired by metal sonic kai
At least he didn’t turn into Metal Overlord
Why
I actually hate this fight, I used to feel so good when we just race against MS but nooo they had to change the fight to a more "unfair" you can say
IKR like I'm on the literal LAST HIT and I die because of the laser attack he does. Its so annoying.
This is easy easier? You just roll into him when his arm goes up, to dodge the Lazer you just jump when he charges it
@@Pink5G But here's the problem, if I roll into Metal Sonic, I roll off the platform and die. if I try to jump during the laser part, it's random timing and doesn't have a consistent timing, so I get hit. Whenever I get on the last hit on Metal Sonic, then I die because of the laser.
It's not unfair, you're just bad.
I hate the fact thh I'm stuck with the metal sonic boss and now I finally know how to kill it
Knuckles chaotix: metal sonic kai
Sonic mania: Metal sonic Monster
Reminds me of the Kyodai Eggman Robo battle from S3K but with Metal Sonic Kai instead
Even tho, this also appeared on non-plus version... huh.
A Knuckles chaotix easter egg.
Thanks so much for showing me
I sheet you not it took me YEARS to beat this boss
**Big arms intensifes**
Why did they change the boss in this version of the game? It was a different boss battle in the original version of Sonic Mania!
Moving spike walls is kind of a lame idea for a boss, it's not REALLY a fight. At least this one has more character and a really sick sprite to look at!
Plus version replaced that fight because fan service for Knuckles Chaotix
Bro, my game has a bug or I don't know but with Knuckles I have that battle and not the normal, this is really weird.
Music is 9/10 good boss music tbh
Thank you so much
The problem i have was having might hit metals hand and go behind him and die how do I fix that
Tysm 😊
So you're telling me, I HAD TO SPINDASH? omg im so dumb
Did this replace fhe standard fight even of you didnt buy plus?
I can’t spin dash into him it’s just damages me kills me AND SENDS ME TO ACT ONE
I just had to spindash!?
I lost 6 lives to this boss.
how you not taking damage from claws?
Mighty ability.
I have this boss but I don’t have sonic mania plus and I wanna know why is that
0:13
This metal sonic didn't appear on my game is it supposed to be plus or does it appear on the normal version
How come some people get a wall of spikes and I got this?! Is it random or something?!
Mighty the armadillo
One question what is that character and how do I get it
Get the dlc
Ok tysm
Giga Metal Sonic Is Big He Looks Like Metal Sonic Kai From Knuckles' Chaotix
that’s because he is metal sonic kai
this boss is broken on the ps4 version
So now i understand how tf im suppose to kill this thing
Just do some spin dashes
Giga metal sonic 💀🤣
Bro why didn't I fight him I beat the game and didn't find giant metal soniv
