Looking to master Rival Rush in Sonic Colors: Ultimate? This guide breaks down how to beat Metal Sonic in every stage, unlock bonuses, and achieve those coveted S-Ranks. Get ready to race!

Alright, let's talk about Rival Rush in Sonic Colors: Ultimate! This is a super cool mode where you get to race against Metal Sonic himself. It's unlocked by finding those tricky Red Star Rings hidden in the levels. You'll need to collect at least fifteen Red Star Rings from each world to unlock it. Once you do, you'll see Metal Sonic's icon pop up on the stage select map. There are six Rival Rush stages in total, one for each main Area except for Terminal Velocity. The goal is to beat Metal Sonic to the finish line. Winning these races is totally worth it, as you'll snag some Park Tokens and unlock special goodies in the Options Satellite. Here's a quick rundown of which Act in each Area unlocks a Rival Rush stage: * Tropical Resort: Act 3 * Sweet Mountain: Act 3 * Starlight Carnival: Act 1 * Planet Wisp: Act 1 * Aquarium Park: Act 2 * Asteroid Coaster: Act 2 Just a heads-up, if you decide to race as Super Sonic in Rival Rush, the Wisps won't be available. It's a bit like the Sonic Rivals games where you're constantly racing against an opponent. Keep practicing, and you'll be leaving Metal Sonic in the dust in no time!
