III. Boss Guides

Here are the walkthroughs to the bosses in the game.

----------------------------------------------

A. Forest Falls Zone (Egg Turtle)

This boss isn't too difficult. Just make sure you don't let your rival attack
it before you do! He has two attacks. One where he shoots his head and tail
out onto the stage, and one where he shoots his head and tail out onto the
stage and then spin for a while. This boss is constantly spinning. Keep
running around the stage to avoid getting hit. You want to hit him on the
head, so run in the direction that the Egg Turtle is spinning staying close
to the head. As soon as he moves his head out onto the stage, attack the head.
You will need to do this 6 times. Of course, you need to also watch out for
your rival. He will try to attack the Egg Turtle, as well as you! You can hit
the boss's tail to attack your rival, but it isn't very necessary. Make sure
you are constantly collecting rings! The first one to hit the boss 6 times
will win.

----------------------------------------------

B. Colosseum Highway (Egg Falcon)

This boss is a little bit harder than the last. You are placed on another
circular stage with platforms up in the air. You want to be on the top
platforms to be able to hit the boss. This boss has a few attacks. He mainly
drops bombs. There are three types of bombs. One will freeze a platform, so
that when you jump on it, you freeze for a while. Another bomb will set a
platform on fire, so that when you jump on it you take damage. The last bomb
will shrink a platform, making it harder to get up onto it. There are also
springs on the level to help you get to the top fast, but it's hard to use
them because there are usually platforms above it. To attack him, stay on one
of the top platforms and wait until he descends a little bit. Then hit the
cockpit. Make sure you are staying in front of him always so that it will be
easier to hit him when he descends! Make sure you watch out for your rival too!
If you stand still too long, he will attack you. The first to hit him 6 times
wins.

----------------------------------------------

C. Crystal Mountain Zone (Egg Lynx)

You are now placed on a semi-circular stage, so you are going to have to do
a lot of running back and forth. This guy has two attacks. He will first shoot
out a bunch of missiles out at you and your rival. After he shoots off a few
missiles, he goes out onto the stage and slams his paws down, destroying part
of the stage temporarily. Stay out of the way of this. This is when to attack.
Jump up on his paws and jump onto the cockpit. After each hit he starts to
shoot more and more missiles out at you. They aren't hard to dodge, as long as
you are constantly moving back and forth on the stage. Make sure to collect the
rings! And attack your rival every so often. The first one to hit him 6 times
wins.

----------------------------------------------

D. Death Yard Zone (Egg Kong)

You are now fighting against Metal Sonic and this guy, who looks like an ape.
This boss fight isn�t hard at all. Make sure you are constantly running around
the track, never stopping and always collecting rings. Attack Metal Sonic
whenever you pass by him, if you are going the opposite way he is going. This
boss has a few attacks. He will shoot out a bunch of missiles out you first.
There are times when he will shoot out a missile that can freeze you or your
rival. Make sure you dodge this. After a while, his head will open up and the
brain capsule will move out onto the middle of the stage and send out an attack
that travles in opposite directions around the stage. Attack the capsule and
jump over the attack to dodge it. Repeat 5 more times and he's gone. You
obviously don't need to worry about Metal Sonic attacking the boss.

Alice writes

"When fighting the boss of the Death Yard Zone (Egg Kong), the boss will shoot
missiles. Sometimes, these missiles will get lodged in the ground, creating
temporary Boost Objects. When you pass over one of these embedded missiles, you
can press X or O to Air Boost or Speed Boost off of it. If you do this, the
missile will be "reactivated"; it will travel up into the air and then down at
an angle, or it will travel horizontally in a circle along the track, depending
on whether you Speed Boosted or Air Boosted. This means you can get the
missiles to hit your rival and freeze him, if you time it right. But beware; 
they can still hit you, too!"

Thanks Alice! =)


----------------------------------------------

E. Meteor Base Zone (Egg Destroyer)

This is it. The final boss. Metal Sonic is here too! This time, you are
racing against the timer. He's not as much as a boss than he is a ship. There
are four portions of the ship. You must attack each portion twice. You start
out on the far left portion of the ship. You must race to the right and attack
the cannon for each portion. Of course there are obstacles in the way. The
first portion has two obstacles. One is an electric force field that will
damage you if you touch it. Wait until it goes away then quickly jump over the
thing before another force field comes up. The second obstacle is a jet of
wind that will push you back. Keep jumping and when there is no wind, jump
over the device. Attack the cannon. Repeat this again and you will move onto
the next portion. On this portion, the first obstacle is a kind of cannon that
shoots out ice. If you touch the ice, you freeze. Wait until the cannon goes
away, then quickly proceed. The next obstacle is another cannon-like object
that will shoot out fire. Jump over the fire and attack the large cannon.
Repeat and proceed to the third portion. The first obstacle is a jet of wind,
that turns into an electrical force feild. Navigate through this quickly. The
second obstacle is the cannon that shoots ice, that turns into the cannon that
shoots fire. Navigate through this and attack the large cannon. Proceed to the
last portion, which has three obstacles! The first obstacle is the cannon that
shoots ice, that turns into the cannon that shoots fire. Navigate through this
quickly. The second obstacle is an electrical force field. Nothing special
about this. The third obstacle is the cannon that shoots ice, that turns into
the cannon that shoots fire. Navigate through this, and attack the cockpit.
Repeat, and you win! Congratulations! You beat the final boss and beat the game
as whatever character you played as!

IV.  Frequently Asked Questions

I see many questions on the message boards that are asked  way too much. Here
are a majority of them.

Q. Is this game going to be ported?
A. NO! Stop asking about it!

Q. Is this game a remake of an older Sonic game?
A. Nope. This is a completely new Sonic game.

Q. How do I use power ups?
A. I answered this in the controls, but all you need to do is press the
triangle button.

Q. Do you get to play as Metal Sonic?
A. Yes. You unlock him by collecting 3 cards that are related to him. I got
those cards by playing through all story modes so, just play through all of
the stories and you should unlock him.

Q. How do I unlock clothes?
A. (Taken from Goldanas's post on the message boards) "To unlock clothing items
 you need to collect the FULL set of a group of three (3) cards. Once you have
the full set, you will unlock one clothing item, be it glove, shoe, or suit.
It all depends on the symbol in the upper-left corner of the card. Don't worry,
it will tell you when you get something new. To put on the clothes when you're
in any mode, go to the character select screen, highlight your character of
choice, and press "Triangle." It seems to save your selections across all
modes."

Q. Is there a last story?
A. No.

Q. Are there super forms?
A. No.

Q. Do you unlock anything after collecting all 150 cards?
A. No.

Q. Is this game fun?
A. That all depends on your taste in games. I have written a review and
submitted it to GameFAQs recently so, when that shows up, you can read that
and decide for yourself if this is the game for you.
