 * Before the Goal Ring, take the GUN Beetle's Semi-Auto Rifle, and use it on the balloon when you reach the final checkpoint.

Tips: Immediately move backwards to the gun turret and attack. If you attack as fast as you can, he should be able to jump off his platform before he destroys your turret. After that, he will destroy your turret, and you on it being damaged. Take the gun that the turret drops and shoot him (while jumping) this gun does massive damage. if done correctly, he will be defeated in around 00:07.

His second form is easy enough, as long as you can avoid his shock waves when he jumps and lands.

Three tank turrets that make it a lot easier to take out the Egg-Ballon thus helping you with the Hero Mission.

Trivia

 * Although that there are 28 GUN troops to destroy for the (Dark Mission), there are actually 29 GUN Troops in this stage because at the third checkpoint there is a Gold GUN Beatle (armed with a SIG SG551 rifle) that goes by.
 * Here if Shadow is partnered with Eggman and you pass by the last Big Foot he will make a refrence to Sonic Adventure 2 Battles First dark boss by saying "Hey, that's just like the big foot from prison island".
