Level: [[Egg Carrier]]

Fought by: Sonic, Big, Knuckles

Chaos 6 is Sonic's fourth boss in Sonic Adventure, pitting him against both Chaos and Dr. Robotnik. After Sonic and Tails fight their way across the transformed Egg Carrier via Sky Deck, they arrive on scene just a moment too late to stop Robotnik extracting the cyan Chaos Emerald from Birdie. The Doctor sics E-102 Gamma on Sonic as he retreats to the front of the ship, leading to a brief 3-hit skirmish between hedgehog and robot before the main boss.

Amy steps in to defend Gamma rather than let Sonic smash him; the blue blur relents, but tells Tails to get Amy off the Carrier while he goes on to put Ivo out of commission. Directed back to the front of the ship by Tikal, Sonic is confronted by Chaos 6, now adopting a bloated, scorpion-like form. Although Robotnik left Chaos to take care of the hedgehog in previous fights, this time Eggman wades into battle as well, aboard the Egg-O-Matic.

The battle mostly sees Sonic running around, avoiding Chaos' lumbering advance and Robotnik's dropped cryo-bombs. The beast can't be damaged by homing attacks as in previous encounters, meaning that defensive play is the name of the game. On top of lashing out with his tail, Chaos will occasionally leap up and throw out a circular shockwave as he crashes back down. On occasion, he opens his mouth and attempts to inhale Sonic, which is where the chance to damage him appears. Instead of homing attacking Chaos, hit Eggman's floating cryo-bombs to disable their levitation; knocked down, they will get sucked into Chaos' gullet and freeze him into an ice sculpture, which can be damaged.

After the defeat, Chaos melts away; Sonic chases after Robotnik, but mistimes his jump over the side of the Egg Carrier and ends up falling several vertical miles down into the jungle of Mystic Ruins. The ker-splat scarcely fazes Sonic, though; he just dusts himself off and jogs after Tikal into Lost World.
