Tips

When the Bomber Ship descends, it fires three missiles. Dodge the first, then walk in the opposite direction to avoid the rest. Practice this maneuver as it can be tricky.
Aim to hit the Mini-Boss once during each attack sequence to better avoid the flamethrower.
Unlike Sonic and Tails, Knuckles cannot acquire a Flame Shield before this battle, so extra caution is advised.
