Boss Battle: Mecha Sonic - 8 Hits
When Mecha Sonic appears in the center of the screen, use Sonic's Insta-Shield (a defensive move) to hit him. Although eight spheres protect Mecha Sonic, you will still get score hits against him and you won't get hurt. If you are playing as Tails, you can fly up and hit him. As long as Mecha Sonic remains in the air, you won't get hurt if you attack him. This is due to a glitch, which was not present in the original Metropolis Zone Boss. When you hit Mecha Sonic, he will release one of the eight spheres and stay in the air. If you destroy the spheres, Mecha Sonic will descend, so it is advised to ignore them and concentrate on hitting him.
- Concentrate on hitting Mecha Sonic directly rather than destroying the protective spheres.
- Utilize the glitch where attacking Mecha Sonic while he is in the air prevents you from getting hurt.
- If playing as Tails, use his flight ability to attack Mecha Sonic from above.
