Learn how to defeat the familiar final boss in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles. This guide covers strategies for Super Sonic, dodging attacks, and collecting rings for an easier fight.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    As Super Sonic, Robotnik will attempt to flee. To catch him, repeatedly press the A, B, or C Buttons to fly at your normal speed.
  2. 2
    Robotnik will shoot missiles and spikes at you. As Super Sonic, these attacks cannot harm you. Ignore them.
  3. 3
    Concentrate on attacking Robotnik by charging into him.
  4. 4
    The battle should be over quickly.
Tips
  • Since you can collect Rings, this final fight is easier than previous battles.
  • The missiles and spikes may pull you back slightly, but if you focus on attacking Robotnik, victory is assured.
  • Upon defeating the Giant Robot, Super Sonic grabs the Master Emerald, completing Sonic & Knuckles.
  • An ending sequence plays, which varies based on the number of Chaos Emeralds collected:
    • All 7 Chaos Emeralds: Super Sonic brings the Master Emerald to Mobius. Tails intercepts it in the Tornado, and Sonic reverts to normal. They return the Master Emerald to the Floating Island and depart.
    • 0-6 Chaos Emeralds: Sonic falls from space, but the Master Emerald remains. Tails intercepts Sonic in the Tornado, and they return to the Floating Island, which remains in the sea.
  • A post-credits scene also varies:
    • All 7 Chaos Emeralds: Shows the wreckage of the Death Egg with an EggRobo emerging.
    • 0-6 Chaos Emeralds: Shows Robotnik with the Master Emerald.
