The Ghost Rex (ゴーストレックス Gōsutorekkusu?) is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It was created by Dr. Eggman and Eggman Nega, and serves as a boss in Sonic Rush Adventure.
Appearance[]
Ghost Rex is a giant bipedal robot that is based on the Tyrannosaurus as its name implies. It has yellow, orange and lime triangle-like patterns all over its body with lime-green spikes on its back. It has green eyes, gray robotic parts on its legs, a blue mouth along with off white teeth,and green and orange colord feet with two toe's unlike the tyrannosaurus that has 3. It also has a red jewel on its forehead.
History[]
In Sonic Rush Adventure, when Sonic the Hedgehog first arrived at Plant Kingdom, the Ghost Rex was alerted to his presence and found him deep within the island's vast jungles. The Ghost Rex proceeded to attack the hedgehog but it ended up being destroyed in the ensuing fight.
Powers and abilities[]
The Ghost Rex proved to be physically strong, attacking with powerful bites. It could stomp the ground with enough force to cause it to collapse. Perhaps the Ghost Rex's most devastating attack is its ability to lengthen its neck at the heights of tall trees, then slam the ground with its head with enough force to cause a large shock wave.
Battle[]
The Ghost Rex is the boss of Plant Kingdom and is the first boss overall in Sonic Rush Adventure. When encountering it for the first time in the game's story, it can only be fought by Sonic. After clearing Coral Cave in the game's story, the Ghost Rex can also be fought by Blaze.
Boss guide[]
First phase[]
The battle takes place at a soil field in the middle of an open section of Plant Kingdom's jungle. The playable character can walk along the stone path. In the first phase, the Ghost Rex will move around the ground while and follow the player for a short amount of time before using any of the following two attacks:
- If the Ghost Rex still continues to follow the player in a different stance, it will reach its head out in attempt to bite the player. The player has to avoid the Ghost Rex's bite and then jump to hit its forehead to damage it. The player can continually hit the Ghost Rex by continuing to bounce on top of its head, although it will recover after a short amount of time or sustaining enough hits.
- The Ghost Rex will jump to one side of the ground and begin charging at the player. The player can also damage the Ghost Rex while it is charging by jumping on its head, which will also halt its charge. After taking enough hits, the Ghost Rex will leap away to the background.
Second phase[]
Once it has taken enough hits (usually around half of its health gauge), the Ghost Rex will stomp wildly, causing the ground to be cracked open. The fight will continue as normal, however it then takes place in the touch screen and the Ghost Rex gains a new attack, it can stretch its neck to incredible lengths (making it look like the neck of a brontosaurus), in which afterwards, it slams its head at the player and creating a large shock wave around it. The player can damage the Ghost Rex by jumping on its head, but now the Ghost Rex will move its head left and right as it is being hit, making it harder for the player to hit it multiple times. When almost defeated, the Ghost Rex will lay its head out ready for the player to deal the final blow on it but if the Ghost Rex is left in this state for too long without being defeated, the Ghost Rex will regenerate some health and the fight continues.
In normal mode, the Ghost Rex gives the player less time to damage it; after hitting the Ghost Rex's head once, if the player lands on the ground and misses hitting the head, it may immediately retract its head (which is more notable during the second phase). Sometimes when biting, the Ghost Rex will bite at the area three times in succession before it is left vulnerable for the player to attack.
