Guide to defeating Metal Madness and Metal Overlord in Sonic Heroes. Learn strategies, attack patterns, and how to use Team Blast effectively to achieve the true ending.

Alright, you've made it to the end of the line! This is it – the final showdown in Sonic Heroes. We're talking about the big bads, Metal Madness and Metal Overlord. It's going to be tough, but with this guide, you'll be ready to take them down and see the true ending.

Walkthrough
  1. 1

    Metal Madness (Team Rose): You'll start this fight as Team Rose. Metal Madness has a few nasty moves:

    • Spike Attack: He'll cover the field in spikes. They're avoidable, but there are a lot, so be careful not to get overwhelmed. Grab rings sparingly; don't take them all at once.
  2. 2
    Tail Swing: He sweeps his tail across the field. A simple jump will get you over it.
  3. 3
    Flamethrower: This attack clears the spikes and heads your way. Again, just jump as it approaches.
  4. 4

    Metal Madness (Team Chaotix): The fight continues with Team Chaotix. While the core mechanics are similar, the approach might feel a bit different. You'll need to adapt to their unique abilities to damage Metal Madness.

  5. 5

    Metal Overlord (Super Sonic): After Metal Madness is dealt with, he transforms into the even more powerful Metal Overlord. This is where Sonic goes Super Sonic! You'll have a limited time, starting with 50 rings, and each ring counts down one second. You can collect more rings on the battlefield, but don't waste precious time doing so.

    The main goal here is to use Team Blast 5 times. To fill your Team Gauge, you'll need to counter Metal Overlord's specific attacks:

    • Ice Attack: Super Sonic needs to destroy this.
  6. 6
    Spines: Tails needs to counter these.
  7. 7
    Ship Weapon: Knuckles needs to destroy this.
Tips
  • The timer in the Metal Overlord fight is strict. Prioritize countering his attacks to keep the gauge full and avoid running out of time.
  • Don't get greedy with rings; focus on the core objective of filling the Team Gauge.
  • Pay close attention to which character is needed for each counter-attack.
  • After beating Metal Overlord, the game tasks you with getting all A Ranks. Good luck!
