History Awesome / SonicFrontiers

** It's worth noting that Sonic loads himself inside an enormous cannon for the above; the one with the honor of firing it? '''[[BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork Dr. Eggman.]]''' In a cutscene, he aims the rifle carefully before launching it to destroy [=THE END=], once and for all saving the world, and perhaps the universe...so he can become the only villain worthy of conquering it. '''''THAT''''' is Robotnik right there.

** If Sonic is hit with the orbs of THE END's final phase, a cutscene will play where Super Sonic is overwhelmed by a much larger version of the attack, first losing his power-up, then his Super form outright and having the Rings knocked out of him before the orb explodes. This attack actually [[MaximumHPReduction shaves off Sonic's maximum ring count]], and if he has less than 100, it will kill him outright... but if he does, Sonic emerges unscathed, gives a cocky smile, and powers right back up for round 2.

** A Crowning Moment of Awesome goes to Cyber Super Sonic when, after being depowered by SUPREME/THE END and deprived of ''nearly all his rings'', manages to gets his super form back through sheer HeroicWillPower.

** At the tail end of the fight, Super Sonic harnesses the entirety of his Cyber Corruption power and transforms once again, this time into a black-and-blue variant of Super Sonic with monochromatic ringed eyes not all that unlike [[ComicBook/SonicTheComic Fleetway Super Sonic's]]. Where his previous empowered form was giving THE END and SUPREME a run for their money, how does this "Cyber Sonic" form match up? '''He outright''' '''''vaporizes''''' '''SUPREME on contact'''. [[OneHitKill THE END doesn't fare any better against it, either.]]

** Special mention goes to the music during THE END’s boss fight. Following up after VideoGame/SonicUnleashed and VideoGame/SonicColors before it, we’re treated to [[OrchestralBombing a intense, symphonic version of “I’m Here”]] as Super Sonic powers himself up with the Cyber Corruption and thrashes THE END around. After Sonic disarms the Titan though, [[Music/SleepingWithSirens Kellin Quinn]] [[AutobotsRockOut makes his return]] with an '''''absolutely chilling''''', yet positively ''triumphant'' rendition of “I’m Here”, especially reaching its crescendo as Eggman blasts the amped-up Super Sonic out of SUPREME’s rifle to finish off THE END. To say this one-upped the base game’s final act would be ''one hell of an understatement!''

* Come the release of "The Final Horizon", the question of averting the main game's BittersweetEnding is answered for real- and that answer is a resounding "Yes!". After fight against SUPREME, unlike in the main story, THE END opts to use SUPREME as a host to herald its return- and as such, another fight begins, with Sonic facing down THE END, possessing the Titan (with its moon form in the background, no less), and when his regular attacks prove to not be enough, he utilizes the gift he obtained from the Koco after overcoming their trials, turning his Cyber Corruption into power and transforming to the blue-eyed state seen in the trailers, which enhances his attacks to such a degree that they would not seem out of place in a battle anime such as ''Franchise/DragonBall''. Sage still nearly loses her life, though this time protecting Eggman from THE END's attacks. Though as Sage's barrier is about to break, Amy, Knuckles and Tails get their own moments of awesome, flying on over and assisting Sage in holding the barrier up. Finally, Sonic cuts loose, despite the Master King's warnings that his newfound power would fade quickly if overused (meaning Sonic was holding back to prevent that outcome for most of the fight), his body turning a similar shade of blue to the one Sage occasionally takes on, before having Eggman fire him out of SUPREME's rifle, having him blow through SUPREME so hard the titan is thoroughly obliterated, before proceeding to pierce through THE END's moon form.

!!Trailers:

!!Main game

* The beginning has Sonic save a Koco from a Titan with his SuperSpeed.
** Sonic is just about to enter Cyber Space, when Sage appears and tells him to stop, because "[his] actions endanger the world". Sonic simply [[DeathGlare glares at her]] and defiantly enters Cyber Space anyway.

** The end of the trailer shows Sonic running towards the Titan again, but this time, he busts out the seven Chaos Emeralds. After transforming into [[GoldenSuperMode Super Sonic]], the Titan winds up a punch, with Sonic charging forwards with his own punch as well. The whole trailer being scored to the extended version of "[[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic I'm Here]]" is just the cherry on top too.

* Taken altogether, this is easily Super Sonic's greatest showing yet. Individually, the Titans aren't on a level with beings like Dark Gaia or Solaris or the Time Eater, but this is the first time [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure in a long time in a mainline Sonic game]] where Sonic gets to go up against foes mano-a-mano in his Super form; no [[VideoGame/SonicRushSeries Burning Blaze]], no [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Super Silver]] and/or [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 Super Shadow]], no [[VideoGame/SonicGenerations Super Classic Sonic]], no [[VideoGame/SonicAndTheBlackKnight Excalibur]], no [[VideoGame/SonicUnleashed Light Gaia]]. ''Just'' Super Sonic. All his time spent growing as a person in various other games allows Sonic to blend tactics into his super form he's learned elsewhere - he's able to copy Shadow's Chaos Spears and refine them, he brings his training as a knight from the Storybook series to bear against KNIGHT and proves himself the better blademaster with a single blow, and the moves he learns over the course of this particular adventure also get incorporated into Super Sonic's arsenal. For a form that's allowed Sonic to largely get away with just ramming things, Sonic takes it to new heights his contemporaries Shadow, Blaze, and Silver could only dream of.

* [[https://youtu.be/RMbtrz3ut9w The Final Horizon Trailer]] starts with Sonic, his friends, and even Sage and Eggman running towards a cliff. The camera then shows the SUPREME Titan, now with multiple arms sprouting out of its back. Sonic is undeterred however, summoning the Chaos Emeralds once more to go Super Sonic. He then goes a step further, where he is then surrounded in a reddish lightning infused aura, with his irises taking on a blue hue (akin to when the player hits the game's ring cap) instead of their normal red. It's short but it's really awesome to see.

** As Sonic is about to be stomped on by the SPIDER, he just disables its leg with a Cyloop and finishing it off with a powerful stomp.

* '''The Titan boss fights had no right going this hard.''' Normally Sonic's attacks are limited to just simple spin attacks or just ramming things as Super Sonic, but with the upgraded combat system, Sonic gets much more physical here than in any platforming game prior. [[AutobotsRockOut The music only enhances the fight]], making the boss fights almost something out of VideoGame/MetalGearRising, really selling just how powerful and awesome Super Sonic is.

** The third fight against KNIGHT takes place in a volcano in Chaos Island, where Super Sonic is able to ride on its chainsaw shield like a surfboard. When you parry its sword attack, Super Sonic will attack it in an insanely fast barrage of attacks, launch it into the air with a Super Cyloop, and drop kick it back down to earth. But the most impressive part is the finisher, where Sonic slices KNIGHT in half ''[[UseTheirOwnWeaponAgainstThem with its own sword]].''

** As it turns out SUPREME was supposed to be even more awesome with several cut QuickTimeEvents with the crowning achievement going to it shooting several close-range volleys at Sonic with its rifle, then ''[[FlashStep flash stepping behind him]] to shoot with its rifle one-handed'', and finally ''[[InASingleBound somehow flash stepping into the air]] to shoot even more volleys'' before landing gracefully in the arena. There's being an ImpossiblyGracefulGiant and then ''[[https://youtu.be/40CCpBHi0Ao there's being SUPREME]]''
** Special mention goes to the TrueFinalBoss accessed on Hard mode, where the game turns into a faithful recreation of ''VideoGame/{{Ikaruga}}'', of all things as Sonic and Sage work together to destroy the literally moon-sized THE END. This boss can ''kill Super Sonic or SUPREME in one hit'' if it strikes them with a projectile that isn't what they are defending against.

* Taken altogether, this is easily Super Sonic's greatest showing yet.

* Think about what it means for Sonic to get shot down by one of the Starfall Island chain's anti-air laser arrays. As Tails mentions, a ''single'' cannon has a power output only slightly weaker than [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 the Eclipse Cannon,]] a weapon specifically built by Gerald Robotnik to use the power of the seven Chaos Emeralds so it could fire a beam capable of ''destroying a planet.'' When it actually got to fire on its intended target, the Black Comet, at the end of ''VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog'', it reduced the massive celestial body to space dust in a single blast. ''[[MadeOfIron And Sonic can survive a direct shot from a weapon only slightly weaker than that]],'' losing his Super form but otherwise being no worse for wear beyond an annoyed ego. Sonic's certainly come a long way [[VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles from being knocked out of his Super state by a sneak attack]] and [[VideoGame/SonicAdvanceTrilogy losing his Super state holding back an exploding capsule while going through atmospheric re-entry.]]

** On the villains' side of things, all the Titans force him to use this form, not just the FinalBoss; GIGANTO made that point loud and clear when, after several ineffectual homing attacks to the chin, it grabs Sonic and yeets him through three spires into the cliffside behind them.
