Hero Story Bosses
Character: Sonic
Difficulty: Easy
This is a G.U.N. ground/air combat walker. Dodge its rapid fire bullets (2 rounds), then it will land and fire missles. Run to dodge them. BIG FOOT will stop moving for a short time, and you need to attack its cockpit, so don't use summersault. Jump and us the homing attack. Repeat the process 3 more times to win.
Character: Tails
Difficulty: Easy
Save Amy from the cluches of Dr. Eggman! Just keep attacking him, dodge his attacks, and collect rings whenever you need the health.
Character: Sonic
Difficulty: Easy
Now its time to see what Shadow can really do. There are 2 ways to defeat him. You can dodge his attacks, collect rings, and hit him when he stops for a short period of time (repeat process). If you are skilled enough, there is an easier way. Have Shadow in the middle of the arena and use your homing attack rapidly at him (meaning after you hit him and are in the air, hit him again). The first 2 or 3 homing attacks won't effect him but then you'll get him off gaurd. This is a good way to drain out his health quickly.
Character: Knuckles
Difficulty: Hard
This guy is one annoying bad @$$ ghost. He is a tough enemy who throws blue flames at you. Run away from him or he'll attack you close up. Dodge his attacks and collect rings. When he does an attack where he stops and makes a big blue flame storm, it'll take him a while, so run up behind him and punch the little ghost that is holding the sand glass. This will open up a hole in the ceiling a make the ghost into a shadow, but that hole will slowly close again. Dig into the shadow and it'll turn into a small ghost. Punch it, then wait for the ceiling to close. You will have to repeat this process and it gets harder each time.
Character: Sonic
Difficulty: Medium
Look's like Dr. Eggman had a pet we didn't know about. The Egg Golem has a variety of attacks. Just try to dodge them, collect rings, and if you fall down into the sand, rapidly press A to get out to prevent sinking to your death. In the same area are platforms and bubbles with items such as rings in them. You should collect few at a time IF you need them, then hang on to the handle of the red pully thing and it will take you back up. When the golem pauses, you have a chance to attack. Run to his back side and jump on to the platform on his back. Jump from platform to platform until you reach his head and use the homing attack on the bindings on its head.
Character: Knuckles
Difficulty: Medium
It's finally time to see what the babe is made of. Attack Rouge with all you got with your punches and gliding moves. Be careful though, because she will attack you quickly and is pretty good at dodging moves. Collect rings so that Rouge doesn't. The platform you are on will turn into lava with hot air which will boost you and Rouge up to a higher area. Also, when Rouge stops moving, this will tell you she is going to use a special move. She will say something before she does it. If you see her, attack her as she is saying it to prevent the s. move from happening. If she isn't within sight, you can still hear her, so make sure to move as quickly as you can while she says whatever she'll say to up the chances of dodging the attack. In the cut scene after this boss level, listen to Rouge's breathing. It sounds like... she um... you know what I'm talking about, seeeing as how she's slightly top-heavy. LOL.
Character: Tails
Difficulty: Medium
Now for a second round with Doc. Attack just the same as you fought him the first time, but attack faster and attack closer to have higher chances of accuracy. When he does his special move, make sure to jump out of the way! If you plan on hitting the nuclear capsule in the middle, make sure you are out of the way of that too!
Character: Sonic
Difficulty: Hard
The final hero story battle. You are going to have to fight Shadow while traveling a never ending walkway. You will have to attack him 5 times. The first 2 times you should use the homing attack or spin. If you are low on lives, just keep getting increments of 100 coins. Keep a good pace, but Shadow isn't going at full speed, so if you go ahead of him, you may be open to attack. Stay up to his pace too. If you fall behind, the walkway starts to fall apart (slowly). The following times you attack will not be so easy because he may jump to dodge your spin and then use the homing attack on you. If you stay a bit behind, you'll see that Shadow will stop, say something, and then use a special attack on you just like in the battle against Rouge. When he stops and starts to say something, prepare a spin, wait for the visual to end, release your spin, and if your timing is correct, the s. move will miss you and you can attack Shadow while he is still standing.
Character: Shadow
Difficulty: Easy
A G.U.N. Heavy - Armed Combat Walker. Just like BIG FOOT, it uses rapid fire bullets and missles, but it also has sort of a laser cannon. The red target will be following you but its really slow. As the laser is building up it will continue to target you, then attack where the target is placed when fully charged. When HOT SHOT lands and does nothing, attack its cockpit. Repeat 3 more times to win.
Character: Dr. Eggman
Difficulty: Easy
Now to battle Tails in his Cyclone (the Tornado's battle transformation). Just the same as in the hero story, just keep attacking and dodge his attacks. If you need health, go get some rings. It's quite simple.
Character: Rouge
Difficulty: Easy - Medium
A G.U.N. Multirole Attacker Unit. This one is quite similar to BIG FOOT and HOT SHOT except that this guy never lands. Pretty much the same procedure goes on. To be able to hit him, climb either of the netted walls. It can't hit you with rapid fire bullets this way, but when it starts to fire missles you'll have to move while climbing so they don't hit you. It does the targeting laser more often than other unit. Glide into the cockpit at any time because Flying Dog doesn't halt. I suggest not hitting him while he's firing missles though or you might get hit.
Character: Shadow
Difficulty: Easy
And here is the one and only Sonic the Hedgehog. Just like I said in the Hero story bosses against Shadow. Use that same strategy: 1. Wait until he stops moving and attack him or 2. Have him in the middle of the arena and keep on homing attacking him while staying the air (Keep pressing A on him while in the air). The first few times won't effect him until he can't hold you off any longer.
Character: Dr. Eggman
Difficulty: Medium - Hard
Egg Golem without its binary restraints!
Dodge its attacks but just keep on shooting bullets at it. The are 3 areas which need to be shot 10 times each, then the parts inside need to be lasered. If you fall down, make sure to hover and land on a platform. Otherwise you'll sink in the sand.
Character: Rouge
Difficulty: Medium
Facing Knuckles is the exact same as fighting Rouge in hero story. Just attack him as much as possible, collect rings, be careful of his attacks, and move away quickly when he does a special move or attack him while he says what he says before the visual. If you want better details, see Rouge's boss strategy in the hero story boss strategies closer to the top of this page.
Character: Dr. Eggman
Difficulty: Medium
Here's a second round with Tails. I'm getting tired of saying this but do the same you would do in the hero story at this level. Just keep attacking him and try to attack close and fast and dodge his attacks. See Dr. Eggman's boss strategy for more detail in the Hero Story Bosses section, closer to the top of this page.
Character: Shadow
Difficulty: Hard
Your last Dark story battle with a last round with Sonic. I really don't feel like repeating everything I've said on how to beat Shadow because beating Sonic is just the same, so find out how to do it on Shadow's boss strategy in the Hero Story Bosses section closer to the top of this page.
WARNING: This section may contain *spoilers* so be careful!
Character: Shadow
Difficulty: Hard
Now grind the rail and attack the life support system. Repeat this process.
