History[]

Sonic Adventure 2[]

It appears only in the Dark Story, trying to destroy Shadow after he was released from Iron Gate by Eggman. Shadow likewise proceeded to fight and destroy it to demonstrate to Eggman a taste of the power he possessed.

Battle[]

The B-3x Hot Shot is the first boss of the Dark Story in Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. It is fought with Shadow the Hedgehog after clearing Iron Gate.

Boss guide[]

Hot Shot begins the fight by taking to the air and flying in a circular path around the area. Hot Shot is capable of releasing gunfire during flight which can damage Shadow, even when he is using the Spin Dash. When Hot Shot lands, it normally fires missiles from the modules on its shoulders. After launching the missiles, Hot Shot is vulnerable and completely open to attacks. Hot Shot also possesses a charge shot which takes approximately five seconds to charge (nearing the corners). It uses a reticle to aim at Shadow, and thus can be avoided by paying attention to the location of the reticle. When landing a successful third hit on it, he will charge up its shots and increase its numbers. Four hits are required to defeat it.

As an easier way to defeat him in less than a minute, the player can jump onto the top of a container before he destroys it, then jump and launch a Homing Attack at the Hot Shot.
