***** Maybe not every game. The reason I took to liking Sonic Heroes is because of its light-hearted and simple story, and while I do appreciate a darker story if its done well, Sonic has a fairly bad track record with those. If everything related to Elise and Soleanna was taken out, along with the bullshit time travel gimmick, the story would've seemed a lot more competent, as all the gigantic plot holes in this game are because they can TIME TRAVEL AT WILL yet they never fully utilize it.
CAN IT BE? SOMEONE WITH A BRAIN????? MY GOD, THANK YOU! FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE ON THIS PLANET THAT ISN'T SAYING SANIC IS 4 KIDZ1212121212121212121. My good sir, you deserve a cookie. God bless you.
Personally, I don't think Sonic can tell dark stories, just look at Shadow the Hedgehog (the video game). However, I think Sonic CAN tell mature stories with some dark elements. A good example of that is Sonic Adventure 2. Unlike Sonic 06, SA2 isn't some pretentious, pompous, and overwritten story that takes itself way too seriously.
Fucking why, I miss this different playstyles with other characters, say all you want to this game but 2006 at least tried to make all of the characters differents and almost did it.... not that it matters against the technical problems.
What really happened is that Sonic 06 was the 15th Anniversary game so they had to release it in 2006, and they started it in early 2005. However, Yuji Naka left Sega and took some of 06's staff with him to form Prope, and then what was left of the team split in half to make Secret Rings, which started as a failed 06 Wii port. While Sonic Team didn't leave themselves much time to make the game, they probably would've finished it properly if not for Sega's mismanagement.
Mephiles is a pretty cool character I'll admit. But he just can't fight. Though I guess that makes sense considering he's the brain of Solaris and Iblis is the muscle
to me this fight demonstrates how great this game couldve been. look at how shadow kicks the crap out of all those shadow creatures. just think of how awesome this could be with better controls and refined combat. i dont think this game is as bad as most people think and i believe there are some ideas that were missed here that can be done well in later games
I wouldn't mind seeing Mephiles again in a future Sonic game that is decent. Even if he can no longer contribute to a story, I think I would enjoy either fighting or playing as him as an unlockable bonus character.
Creative AF. This fight felt crushing, bleak, and alien; only for Shadow’s chaos abilities to shine through, dispelling the darkness and allowing a real toe-to-toe battle to take place. This is why 06 tops every modern Sonic title when it comes to representing and realizing the full potential of the “modern” Sonic series.
Sonic '06 is pretty decent to me, but I would like to see Mephiles return in future Sonic games, even if he's not a major character to the storyline/plot, I would appreciate if he just made at least one cameo.
Angelic Creeper to Tell you the truth Mephilis was a cool villian with legit motivations, I really see Shadow's route as Shadow the Hedgehog 2, although, I felt like Mephilis could've had a bit more depth to him rather than just him being "the darkness".
The only way for him to return is if SEGA does another cameo with screwing up the timelines, Where the moment of blowing out the flame of solaris didnt happen due to a history change and that can give a clue towards who the evil mastermind is.
This is not one of Maddie Blaustein's best voice portrayals even though she was very talented in many male voices like Team Rocket's Meowth and many others. Robots were not her strong suits.
man, i remember i was so hyped when i got to this part of the game, but when i filled the chaos gauntlet up and beat mephiles in like 2 homing attacks i was disappointed still tho, loved this game and the cutscene before this fight was awesome in my opinion
I actually kinda like the idea of this fight. Shadow cannot beat Mephiles on his own unless he goes into rage mode where he can really show him who's boss. Mephiles is still obviously no match for the ultimate life form, and Omega doesn't even need rage mode. So even though he can't seem to be killed normally, he's pretty easy, but Sonic Team did at least know how to program an interesting boss fight concept. If they just had more time, it would have been so much cooler.
For everyone saying Mephiles can’t come back: 1: Solaris didn’t die, he just got banished from the timeline. 2: Time Eater legit just brought back Iblis and Mephiles reappeared in Sonic Runners. 3: Therefore he could come back, it’s just that Sonic team doesn’t have any plans to now.
Solaris literally ceased to exist. Elise blew out the flame, and all events of the game never happened. Soleanna still exists. But since Generation, the timeline where Iblis still reigns was exposed to the current realms, and Mephiles could possibly escape
Not the whole story is bad none of it makes any sense and all of the characters are idiots and don’t act right the character models and voice acting are also pretty terrible face it this game was doomed from the start
Mephiles was always an amazing character, I remember playing the game and somewhat liked it (cause back then I was a kid who liked anything Sonic related) but I almost quit then I saw Mephiles design and boy if only you could see my reaction to his design, he's been my favorite Sonic villain ever sense.
Mephiles Boss intro: Mephiles:Such foolishness... very well, let's see if you can entertain me! (giant dark clones coming out of nowhere appear behind mephiles) 0:00
I've started to knowtest that Mephiles and Iblis are like Chaos, Elementals that each Hedgehogs fought against Chaos-Sonic Mephiles-Shadow Iblis-Sliver
Well, Maddie Blaustein was better known for her role as Meowth, among others... it's sad that she died though... This wasn't my favorite of voices of hers, but she still did some memorables...
Sadly Mephiles boss fights are quite easy, but this one is my favorite in the game. It's nicely creative, as you fight endless enemies, I love that mechanic of ripping off Mephiles out of your shadow activating Chaos Boost, there is no background for that, but I love it!! Also is the first and only time when you fight a main boss as a support character along the main one. This boss manage to be such spectacle even thought is easy and small in size.
hahaha-guh! mwhahahahahahahahah-guh!!! haha-guh! ha-guh!!!! he just never learns does he? wretched insignificant - waaaargh!!! wretched insignificant - aaawwwrgh!!!!! wertchedinsignifica-aaaargh!!!! hoof... that really burns... ..... WRETCHEDINSIG- aaaaaargh!!! i thought i had you that time Omega: are you gonna dodge any of these?
The cackling of Mephiles minions known as Shadows were reusing a stock voiceclip of I think the main antagonist Gruntilda's cackle that was sped up from Banjo-Kazooie.
As cheesy and well... dumb as this games story could be, you're only lying to yourself if you say there wasn't some true badassery here. This is one of those genuine badass moments.

I love the effect of Mephiles as a shadow. It just looks so cool to me.
It's creepy and fascinating at the same time
No Sonic game is complete without a bit that could easily traumatise a little kid
Mm h
Chris
The Impossible Dingo mmm
"Don't bother to try and deceive me, I had enough of that in Shadow the Hedgehog."
Mephiles: DANCE!
Shadow: How about I dance on your damn face?
Ayo-💀
I think every sonic game should have a dark story like this, its what makes it interesting

Nah, haha! I say let it die!

Sonic unleashed tried. If you like that is up to you
They will get it right eventually they just make a lot of trial and errors.

What do you think would have happened if they canned 2005's shadow the hedgehog and started in 2004?
the controls were fucked but i did love the different play styles
Mephiles is a pretty cool character I'll admit. But he just can't fight. Though I guess that makes sense considering he's the brain of Solaris and Iblis is the muscle
…and all that potential was wasted on this game
+NICKatron MC still a better game than sonic boom
+Austin Morrison agreed
I know right? The idea of a god being split into his mind and raw power is so interesting and opens itself up to so many possibilities.
Austin Morrison he fights in his own way using his energy and manipulating the environment, I find that Intriguing
2:08
Oh, I love it when that happens in games. The boss starts laughing and then you hit them while they do it.
"Ha-ha-ha-GAH!"
Yeah. It's just like "shut the hell up!"

Mephiles: It doesn't matter how many of them you defeat, you know.
Tell that the chaos gauge filling itself up!

2:05 has my favorite line of the whole game.
I wouldn't mind seeing Mephiles again in a future Sonic game that is decent. Even if he can no longer contribute to a story, I think I would enjoy either fighting or playing as him as an unlockable bonus character.
Agreed
Wolf Ying specifically, I would like play in his “Shadow” form
Sonic forces speed battle might be his only soon chance
Well guess what
@@EAting_the_mEAl what
Mephiles laugh... Its awesome
I didn't remember that mephiles was shadow's shadow in this fight, I find that creppy
0:12 was that a reference to his theme in "shadow the hedgehog"?
I am all of me
THIS IS WHO I AM! -Shadow, in one of the endings

Agreed, he's a badass villain
That would not be possible for Mephiles to return since they blew out the Flames of Solaris, even though it would be cool for him to return.

Nealen the Nerd I can just imagine Time Eater going back in time and just using a lighter to ignite the flame again when Sonic and Elise leave
Dan’s Yami voice is so perfect. Man I wish this character was in a better game
2:08 Mephiles: Ha ha ha ha ha!Omega: STFU Mephiles
Omega you botmobile!
that's funni
Omega's voice in sonic heroes was better
Agreed
MasterTJT 56 Same here his voice was the best in that game!
i agree
Blame the KickVic movement.
This is not one of Maddie Blaustein's best voice portrayals even though she was very talented in many male voices like Team Rocket's Meowth and many others. Robots were not her strong suits.
Don’t know why but the way Mephiles moves as his shadow creeps me out, love this villain so much
man, i remember i was so hyped when i got to this part of the game, but when i filled the chaos gauntlet up and beat mephiles in like 2 homing attacks i was disappointed
still tho, loved this game and the cutscene before this fight was awesome in my opinion
Shadow, during the Result screen: Man, that bird is far away...
Man his old boss battles are kinda basic compared to Shadow Generations.
He’s coming back!😎
the fact that mephiles is shadow's shadow is just scary as fuck
It’s crazy to think that Kunckles and Mephiles have the same voice actor in this game.
I actually kinda like the idea of this fight. Shadow cannot beat Mephiles on his own unless he goes into rage mode where he can really show him who's boss.

He beats shadow, then omega comes to help which lead into phase 2.
I want to exist!
Good line, but miscast voice actor. Dan Green is the GOAT
@@yrooxrksvi7142he’s good but no Dan Green.
@@yrooxrksvi7142just lower the voice filter theres a mod a dude made the impression
There's no future for you, ever.
0:23 Ummm... Shadow... If it is Mephiles your looking for... he is your shadow. Look at your own shadow it's a faint hint of Mephiles and its moving!
For everyone saying Mephiles can’t come back:
1: Solaris didn’t die, he just got banished from the timeline.

Join the club. His original voice is just fine
+Versace Bentley I wonder how the Vic doing Omega is?
WELCOME TO THE BANDWAGON
I don’t know why everyone hates this game, it looks really awesome
well story wise the game is top tier but the many many bugs made the game bad thats why its hated
The story is pretty terrible
Also don’t forget the story
@@schakiarligonde1736 Sonic's story wasn't the greatest, however the rest of the story is fantastic
Not the whole story is bad none of it makes any sense and all of the characters are idiots and don’t act right the character models and voice acting are also pretty terrible face it this game was doomed from the start
Mephiles was always an amazing character, I remember playing the game and somewhat liked it (cause back then I was a kid who liked anything Sonic related) but I almost quit then I saw Mephiles design and boy if only you could see my reaction to his design, he's been my favorite Sonic villain ever sense.
I missed the old Omega :( And he was my favorite character.

Mephiles is The Clone of Shadow The Hedgehog.
Shadow bouce 😂 i love ❤ how every boss laughs before you fight them
Mephiles is my favourite charater
He Returns!
the theme song and the shadows laughing creep me out
Dance my shadows dance! O_O
Yessir HE'S BACK
Mephiles is the true embodiment of all our inner demons. He's cynical, twisted, and thinks everything right is wrong
Mephiles is my favorite Sonic Villain he needs to return he's got so much wasted potential.
Is one of mephile's clones is stuck to shadow?
This game was honestly fun
I've started to knowtest that Mephiles and Iblis are like Chaos, Elementals that each Hedgehogs fought against
Chaos-Sonic
Mephiles-Shadow
Iblis-Sliver
The music gave me chills too bad this game was truly a lost opportunity after Mr Naka left
This game had so much potential
MY KING IS BACK 🔥🔥🔥
I was just now looking at shadow's shadow and I was surprised to see mephiles in his shadow
Well, Maddie Blaustein was better known for her role as Meowth, among others... it's sad that she died though... This wasn't my favorite of voices of hers, but she still did some memorables...
Back when Shadow and Omega squaring off against Mephiles makes this game look awesome as ever. 😃
Such foolishness. Very well, let’s see if you can entertain me.
lets see if you can entertain me, WITH MY DARK MAGICIAN!!!
Omega: Dark Shadow-like creature, destroyed!

Mephiles can't fight, he's truly a weakling. He got beaten by a robot
No shit, he's the mind of Solaris, not the power-house like Iblis.
SavageXKilla Yeah sure. Isn't some of the Sonic games like Black Knight, and Secret Rings based off a fairy tale?
Jacob5664 I guess?
SavageXKilla DK. There was an episode in Smurfs Season 9 about the knights of the round table so I guess it is a fairy tale or whatever.
sweet infant jesus that was freaking creepy as hell.
Because i was 6 and played this and liked it alot and it was my first sonic game
Demyx: DANCE WATER! DANCE!
DANCE
Well, anyone else back here after yesterday?
I like this game! I dont know, why there are so many haters !
Maybe...
Ryan Gilmore my best guess is that he needed to merge with iblis while it was still in its "new" form.
"The Flames of Disaster"
It is the best sonic game for me
Karpadors Scherge Probably cause of the human princess kissing an anthropomorphic animal!
Mephiles was the best boss fight in the game
omega has become such a generic robot, i miss the good ol' days of sonic heroes were he was bent on killing eggman
I just thought of something! Isn't Mephiles's voice actor the same as Atem the Pharaoh's from Yugioh?
We'll fight this guy once again in dusty desert in Shadow Generations!
Sadly Mephiles boss fights are quite easy, but this one is my favorite in the game.

Evil Con Carne connections:
Solaris is Hector's body. Mephiles is Hector Con Carne and Iblis is Stomach.
And his shadow's are creepy sometimes.
I prefer Omega's old voice. :S Ah well.
***** ANNIHILATE!
AFFIRMATIVE.
Beep beep, Omega coming through.
Infinite needs to fight this "impostor".
but Mephiles came before Infinite my dude
I heard this song in Tails Nightmare
I do concur with the perceptive of this fictional entertainment of digital playing.
for Mephiles or Omega?

Shadow Is way too deep by defeating Mephiles his own except Omega.
Oh and i mean an evil lagh
If only infinte was as cool as mephiles
I wondering which laugh is annoying; the Original Mephiles or the Mini Mephiles minions?
