Sonic 3 Boss Walkthroughs, playing as either Sonic or Tails. (Act 2 Bosses)

Angel Island: Pretty easy, unless you mis-time your jump when Robotnik is over those gaps. Eiter above you or at firing position are the best opportunities to whack him. 8 Hits will bring him down.

Hydro City: Slightly more difficult. When the whirl-pool goes down, QUICKLY jump on the top of it and whack him. Another opportunity arises with the help of those bombs. Timing is everything, or wait until he comes down to start another whirl-pool. 8 Hits will bring him down.

Marble Garden: As Sonic, piece of cake. Just time those jumps. As Tails, things are more difficult. Make sure you keep the fire shield you find in the bonus-level at the star-post. The underbelly of this contraption is the best area to hit as Tails. Regardless of character, 8 Hits will bring him down.

Carnival Night: Keep to the far left or right when Robotnik attempts to pull you towards his latest armour. The electric-shield will help as Sonic, but as Tails, wait until he collects the ball. 8 Hits will bring him down.

Ice-Cap: That platform is a 50-50. Don't go on it unless you are quick in moving your character. As Sonic, the electric-shield will help loads as Sonic. But again, as Tails, timing is everything. 8 Hits will bring him down once more.

Launch Base A: Easy, but you have to use that small ledge, but he's firing cannonballs at different speeds. So simple, you'll beat him in seconds. 8 Hits will bring him down once more.

Launch Base B: Timing is critical, as Robotnik now has a 3-tier-armour, two tiers fire lasers, the third has a little mine going round the cockpit. the cock-pit is the weak-point of this armour. 8 Hits will bring him down once more, but there's something not right about the way he's heading up there...

Launch Base Finale: TIMING IS EVERYTHING!!! He's gone and re-armoured the ship. That small gap in-between the hand and those spikes is where you need to turn in. 10 hits will stop Robotnik's Death-Egg...For now, until you play Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

Sonic Mega Collection contains 7 awesome games, but Sonic 2 and 3 are definately my favourite and contain some the most difficult bosses ever! So here's the guide to all the bosses on both the games.

Sonic The Hedgehog 2
--------------------


Emerald Hill Zone
-----------------
Drill Car

This is actually very easy and requires hardly any effort at all. Simply jump on Dr. Robotnik about two times a turn and then stay your distance before repeating again. Be careful as he shoots the drill at you on his last attempt.

Chemical Plant Zone
-------------------
Oil Slicker

Not too bad but under-estimate this battle and you will die very easily. Just keep jumping under Dr. Robotnik repeatedly being careful not to fall into the water. When he has finished sucking up the oil he will charge past you and try to hit you with a huge drop of it. Simply jump away to avoid this and then continue hitting him.

Aquatic Ruin Zone
-----------------
Hammer Craft

Easy to defeat Dr. Robotnik this time. There are two techniques and both work fine.

1. When the pillars raise either side try to jump on top of them as they increase in height. After this continually jump on Dr. Robotnik as he flies around while making your way back to the pillar again.
2. If you fail to do this and don’t make it on top of the pillar, simply wait for Dr. Robotnik to hit a pillar and an arrow will fly across. Dodge this and then jump on it when it gets stuck on the opposite side. Then jump and hit the underbelly of the craft.

Casino Night Zone
-----------------
Pinball-Matic

More tougher than the previous battles and needs very good timing and occasionally guesswork. The area is shaped like a U and in Dr. Robonik will fly over out of jumping reach, so in order to hit him you need to spin dash along the ramp and then drop from the top and hit him on the head. Don’t attempt to hit him underneath as you’ll get a nasty electric shock. And also watch out for he drops spiked bombs at you.

Hill Top Zone
-------------
Lava Slicker

There is two platforms to stay on to avoid the lava below. But when Dr. Robotnik appears from the lava, jump on him to cause damage. Watch out for fireballs he shoots at you and the platforms. When he does, jump to the other platform while the fireballs fall off.

Mystic Cave Zone
----------------
Drill Craft

Dr. Robotnik will drill into the ceiling above and down will fall rocks. The only rocks that can damage you are the spiked ones so avoid them. The round ones you can ignore. When he returns to the floor, just jump on him repeatedly. He will then rise again. Repeat method till complete.

Oil Ocean Zone
--------------
Laser Oil Slicker

The oil below the two platforms causes you to sink if you jump in so be aware when you fall in. Dr. Robotnik will shoot a laser at you that will cause the platform you’re standing on to cause you damage. To avoid simply jump. His other move is shooting a hook at you which can be dodged by not staying in one place. When he rises above the oil jump on him.

Metropolis Zone
---------------
Sphere Craft

Dr. Robotnik has loads of spheres spinning around him so the best thing to do is avoid him at all costs unless you want to take damage. His spheres will spin around the whole screen for a while and then they will spin round him horizontally. This is when you attack. Hit him from beneath and one sphere will now drop off and bounce about. Now here’s the trick. Don’t hit the sphere, but keep hitting Dr. Robotnik until all the spheres are free. Always make sure one sphere is free. Then hit the spheres and watch out for Dr. Robotnik’s final attack when he fires lasers at you.

Sky Chase Zone
--------------
No Boss

Wing Fortress Zone
------------------
Spike Machine

Not too difficult this, but requires timing. There’s a moving laser above you that will fire every so often. Continually dodge it until the platforms with spikes underneath appear. Watch the spikes and jump on to one of the platforms. Then hit the laser cannon. Repeat until destroyed. Be quick, also because the walls close in after every laser fire.

Death Egg Zone
--------------
Metal Sonic

A right tough boss at first, but learn his attacks and you should be fine. As you have no rings a slight mistake will kill you so pay attention. Metal Sonic will always move from the right of the screen to the left or the left of the screen to the right. Never the middle or anywhere else. He will spin dash from side to side, or jump in the air, or he will slide over. All of these attacks leave him immune to damage, but after each move he will pause, so now’s your chance to attack. Hit him on the forehead or else you’ll die. To low and you’ll hit his stomach, too far and you’ll hit his deadly spikes. Repeat until beaten.

Mega Robotnik

Hardest boss of the game and not much help I can offer. His weak area is the belly and in order to hit it you must time you attacks so as not to hit the spiked arms. As he walks over to you now’s the time to hit him just as his arms make a movement. He will also fly in the air and shoot lasers at you so to dodge them, run as far as you can to the right. Also watch out when he fires his spiked arms at you. Jump over them to avoid and keep hitting his belly!

Sonic The Hedgehog 3
--------------------


Angel Island Zone
-----------------
Act 1 Boss

If you have a flame shield then this should be a piece of cake. Simply head underneath the robot and jump repeatedly. Because you have a flame shield, his engines shouldn’t have any affect on you. Easy! If you don’t have a shield however, watch out first off because he will shoot fire at you if your too close. Now’s your chance to attack by jumping on the top of him. Then he will fire missiles at you. Avoid those and again jump on top of him till he’s destroyed.

Dr. Eggman Fire Blazer

To your right of you there is a huge hole that you can fall down and die so watch out. Dr. Robotnik will disappear in a random spot and then shoot fireballs at you so either jump or dodge to avoid. Hit him to deal damage, but when he disappears wait until he reappears again and repeat method.

Hydrocity Zone
--------------
Act 1 Boss

This boss cannot really hurt you as such unless he charges you. But he will appear above you and then roll from one side to another twice so jump over him as he comes towards you. You must wait until his rockets have disabled and now’s your chance to attack him. Jump at him from below until he starts spinning the water around. This does no damage so don’t worry! After this, again attack him until he activates his rockets again.

Dr. Robotnik Hydro-Fan

A real pain because this is all about timing. Dr. Robotnik will be at the top of the screen out of reach and the only way to hit him is to use his own weapons against him. He will drop bombs on you, that will take a few seconds to explode so just before it does jump onto it and it will shoot you into the air. Now aim for Dr. Robotnik. Do not hit him from beneath as his propeller will hurt you. Watch out for when he drops into the water and tries to suck you up. To avoid run away in opposite direction of current. Repeat hitting him by using the bombs until he is defeated.

Marble Garden Zone
------------------
Act 1 Boss

This robot will drill into the ceiling causing rocks to fall down onto you. If you have a shield of any sort, the rocks will simply bounce off and cause no damage, however if you don’t have one then watch out for the spiked ones because they are the ones that will hurt you. After the rocks fall, the robot will drop onto you, so avoid him. Then hit him on the opposite side to his drills and this’ll deal damage. He’ll again drill into the ceiling. Avoid spikes and then attack him again when he reappears.

Dr. Robotnik Flying Drill

Tails will aid you on this boss, and he’ll fly through the air with you hanging onto him. Dr. Robotnik will fly by trying to hit you with his drill. Dodge this and jump onto his machine to do damage and then fall out of the screen. Don’t worry if you fall you won’t die. Repeat the attacks until he’s defeated.

Carnival Night Zone
-------------------
Act 1 Boss

This boss cannot be harmed by you jumping onto it, but instead the spiked platform can hurt it. Keep jumping on the top of the main robot to leave it’s electric core exposed and then the spiked platform should hit it and deal damage. The spiked platform will eat away at the floor by the way so be quick! Keep leaving the robot exposed so the platform will hit it.

Dr. Robotnik Electro-magnet

Dr. Robotnik will fly high above you, and then drop a huge ball. Dodge this. He will then use an electric current that will attract you into the centre and kill you. Do avoid death just run away from Dr. Robotnik. After a while he’ll shut off the power and lower to pick up the ball. Now’s your chance to attack him. Jump on him before he rises in the air again. Now he will repeat the process again, so you repeat your method and you should make short work of him.

Ice Cap Zone
------------
Act 1 Boss

This guy is tough and the only way to beat him is pure timing. He will float around in the air for a while and occasionally dive down and attack. Jump over him and you’ll be fine at this point. Then he’ll shoot his snowballs away and they’ll fall down leaving only a small gap free for you to move to in order to avoid them all. This is his attack method and to cause damage, you must time your jump onto him so that you avoid his snowballs spinning around him. Horizontal is the best time.

Dr. Robotnik Ice Machine

Not so bad to defeat. Dr. Robotnik is in his flying machine above and below, connected is a pipe and a spiked platform. He will move right to left and left to right slowly, trying to freeze you. He will fire to the left then underneath him, then to the right of him so pay close attention to this pattern or else you’ll get frozen. Hit him from underneath when he’s not firing at you and you’ll defeat him.

Launch Base Zone
----------------
Act 1 Boss

Two bosses really, with swinging maces that are nasty to dodge. To attack simply jump at their main body to deal damage. The best method is to aim for one and destroy that making it easier on the last one. Defeat both and you’re done.

Final Boss Part 1

Dr. Robotnik will shoot giant balls at you and you must jump over them to dodge them. While he is doing this, a small platform will raise just below him and you can jump on that to reach him and damage him. Repeat until he’s defeated.

Final Boss Part 2

Dr. Robotnik will be on your left or your right and basically he will fire lasers at you so avoid them at all costs. To damage him simply jump on his head and his robot will break layer by layer. Nothing too taxing so take it easy and you should be fine.

Final Boss Part 3

This isn’t too tough for a final boss, and the one thing you have to watch out for is his arms. These will grab you and kill you. He will shoot across the screen and try and grab you before slamming you onto the floor. Just before he does the best thing you can do is jump and hit him underneath as his head has spikes on. Another attack he makes is moving from side to side underneath you leaving his spikes exposed to you so just continually jump and you’ll be alright. That’s it you’ve beaten Sonic 3!
