Boss guide
Metal Sonic appears on the bridge after the player clears the Star Posts. Once he appears, Metal Sonic will begin to run away from the player. The player must boost to get close for a Homing Attack to damage him.

Throughout the battle, there is a wall of energy cubes that follows the player as they chase Metal Sonic. Contact with the cubes will damage the player. Metal Sonic's main attack is to conjure electrified versions of Infinite's energy cubes and have them create pillars of electricity to damage the player. During this section, the Red Star Rings appear and can be collected.

When Metal Sonic is brought down to half health, he will change his attack pattern and use his V. Maximum Overdrive Attack that the player can jump over, Quick Step, or hit him with the Wispon to avoid. Metal Sonic will also gather Moto Bugs to protect himself when the player gets close, which can be knocked away with consecutive Homing Attacks to damage Metal Sonic.

When Metal Sonic is injured enough, the player will be prompted to use a Double Boost to rush down Metal Sonic, defeating him and completing the stage.
