Boss guide
Move to the right through the booster and you’ll be launched to a new area after a Death Egg Robot sentinel smashes the pathway. When prompted, the Avatar will use its grapple attack to hit the giant robot and then hit the prompt that appears afterwards to hit it again.

You’ll then drop down to a checkpoint. Move forward and grab the capsule you see ahead before going outside. You’ll run into a Metal Sonic clone that appears and begins running away from you. Chase it and use your boost to get close for a homing attack to damage it.

There will be a wall of energy that follows you as you’re chasing Metal Sonic. When you damage it, Metal Sonic will then shoot out some energy weapons and make pillars of energy appear in front that you must avoid. You’ll see a series of Red Star Rings you can gather as you’re running.

When you get Metal Sonic down to half health, he will change his pattern and use a drill attack that you can jump over to avoid. Metal Sonic will also gather metal objects to protect it when you get close, which you can knock away with consecutive homing attacks to damage it.

When Metal Sonic is injured enough, you’ll be prompted to use a Double Boost. Rapidly hit the button and rush down Metal Sonic to defeat it and complete the stage.
