Metal Sonic (Sonic the Hedgehog CD boss)

Metal Sonic (Sonic the Hedgehog CD boss)
Game: Sonic CD
Level: [[Stardust Speedway]]

The first time players were introduced to Metal Sonic is when he shows up at the start of Sonic CD's Collision Chaos, kidnapping Amy Rose right in front of Sonic's eyes. The biological hedgehog finally catches up with his robotic doppelgänger in Zone 3 of Stardust Speedway, when Robotnik pits the two against each other in a race/battle through the twisted highways of the Miracle Planet's future.

Metal Sonic cannot be damaged during this fight; Sonic's tactic is just to stay ahead of his opponent, making sure to stay clear of his electric-barrier attack and the sparking, crimson lightning shield which Metal periodically turns on. Drop too far behind and you meet instant death at the hands of Robotnik, who's chewing up the course with a giant laser attached to his Egg-O-Matic. At the end of the race, Sonic pulls ahead of Metal and the robot slams face-first into a closing doorway, falling off the level in a manner clearly reminiscent of Sonic's life-loss sprite. In lieu of an Egg Capsule Sonic then goes on to free Amy, who's tied up on some background scenery.
