Boss guide
The battle takes place on a multistage platform in the middle of the cell room. There are many anthropomorphic animals watching on in the battle in jail cells. The fight begins as soon as Zavok appears, riding on a large Buzz Bomber.

In the first stage of the fight, up to three groups of Rings appear. Eventually smaller Buzz Bombers will appear and attack Sonic. Sonic must defeat all three of the Buzz Bombers to proceed. After Zavok speaks, his giant Buzz Bomber will fire energy lasers from its legs which follows Sonic. After that, a swarm of Buzz Bombers will appear around Sonic and attempt to dive bomb him. After that, the giant Buzz Bomber will fly above Sonic and attempt to smash him with its stinger. Sonic must avoid the attack and then jump and use the Homing Attack on Zavok. Zavok will deflect Sonic's Homing Attack two times before taking a hit. Repeat this progress one more time to proceed.

When the second phase of the fight begins, the platform will break apart and Buzz Bombers will appear again and again. In this phase of the fight, the giant Buzz Bomber will charge at Sonic while dispatching its stinger. Sonic must avoid this attack two times. Zavok will then attempt to crush Sonic with the giant Buzz Bomber's stinger again. At this point, Sonic must avoid the attack, jump and repeat the processes of Homing Attacking Zavok two more times until Zavok is down to his last hit point. Afer that, the game switches to a cutscene with Sonic combating Zavok and taking out his last hit point. The fight will then be over.
