Metal Sonic (Sonic Generations 3DS boss)

Metal Sonic

Game: Sonic Generations (Nintendo 3DS)
Level: Casino Night
Hits to defeat: Win Race
Fought by: Classic Sonic

The first rival faced in the 3DS version of Sonic Generations is Metal Sonic, who challenges Classic Sonic to a race in Casino Night.

Strategy

Instead of simply beating his robotic rival into submission like in the console/PC version, Classic Sonic needs to beat his metal double to the Signpost at the end of the Act to win the battle. In this manner, the fight is much more similar to their original fight, minus the fact they aren't in Stardust Speedway, and that the player has to do actual platforming to finish the level. In a manner resembling the Sonic Rivals series, the player can attack Metal all the way to the end, allowing for a constant fight to the end to reach the goal first. Metal will also use his Maximum Overdrive Attack to try to barge through if the player gets too far ahead, and will activate his Ring Spark Field if he is ahead of the player.
