Master Sonic the Hedgehog 3's Flying Battery Zone Act 2! This guide breaks down every step, from navigating purple cylinders to defeating the Fake Prison Egg Machine.
Alright, let's get through the second act of Flying Battery Zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 3! This part can be a bit tricky with all the moving parts, but stick with me and you'll be fine.
Walkthrough
- 1You'll start off heading right. Go through the first purple cylinder you see. Then, drop down from the platform and head left. You'll need to go past some flame blasters, so be careful, and then head right. You'll exit the Blimp briefly here. Hop across the platforms outside and use the levers you find. After that, jump onto the ledge and head up to get back inside the Blimp.
- 2Once you're back inside, go past the Starpost. Make your way through the next set of purple cylinders. You'll see a slope; use your Spin Dash to zoom up it. Position Sonic right on top of a flame blaster. It'll launch you upwards! After you land, head right and use the moving platforms to reach another flame blaster. If you see a Prison Egg, be aware that Badniks will pop out if you open it, so keep your distance for now.
- 3Use the flame blaster to get launched upwards again. You'll need to go past some mines, so steer clear of them. Then, use the poles to swing across. Drop down and head left. You'll see a speed boost; jump over it. Go past more mines and then down a platform. Head right. Keep an eye on the rising platforms – wait for them to go up before you move to avoid getting crushed.
- 4You'll pass another Starpost. Press the switch nearby. Now, drop down and head left. Use your Spin Dash on the slopes to gain speed and jump onto the Prison Egg. Run through the purple cylinders and drop down. Head right and pass the next Starpost. Go up the slopes and use the moving platforms to continue.
- 5Jump onto another Prison Egg. This one will launch you using a spring. Head right and you'll see some missiles firing. You need to wait for them to clear an opening so you can drop down through it. Once you land, run through the purple cylinder and head past the final Starpost for this act.
Mini-Boss Battle: Fake Prison Egg Machine
Right after that last Starpost, you'll face a mini-boss. It's the Fake Prison Egg Machine, and you'll need to hit it 8 times to defeat it. Just keep attacking it whenever you get an opening!
Tips
- Watch out for those flame blasters – they can send you flying in unexpected directions. Try to anticipate where you'll land.
- The mines can be a real pain. If you can, try to destroy them from a distance or just avoid them altogether.
- When waiting for platforms to rise, make sure you're not too close to the edge, or you might get knocked off.
