Reports also suggest Sonic CD boss is Metal Sonic
Even though we have known for a while now the stages and bosses that almost certainly will feature in Sonic Generations, courtesy of the hacked demo, no-one has provided confirmation and we did not know which stages would feature which boss. Until now. Sonic Paradise is reporting, courtesy of fellow Spanish gaming website Vandal, that stage representation of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 will come through Chemical Plant Zone and has been “officially confirmed” by Sega. However, while this many not be a surprise to those who followed the leaked information the second confirmation may be: apparently Metal Sonic is Sonic CD’s boss. While many fans had speculated (or hoped) this would be the choice, it has not been known until now. We also didn’t know which version of Sonic would fight Metal Sonic, or if both versions would, though Sonic Paradise answers this question by reporting “both [versions] will fight him”. Considering that it was originally ‘classic’ Sonic that fought Metal Sonic in the iconic race, then it only seems natural to at least include that version (though as with everything in this game, the other ‘version’ of each stage is inherently more curious).
The report also provides some information on the 3DS version, claiming that the special stages will be those of Sonic 2. Therefore, if Tails does happen to be following you, prepare to jump a few seconds early.
UPDATE: Sega just released the character model of Metal Sonic via Twitter. Catch it here.

This is all I wanted! Can’t wait to see this!
SEGA is lazy, why dont put Stardust speedway, and other cool levels, instead this crap of “Sky sanctuary”, “Seaside hill” and “Speed highway”
(In fact there are not bad stages, but in this game, was totally unesesary, we have already green hill, and a lot of city based levels.
This is sonic city adventure.
YHEEEEE my wish came true
@RogerMyers JR
I think it would be difficult for SEGA to make a complete level of Stardust Speedway only because it’s, along with most of the levels from Sonic CD, so abstract looking. I’m sure its possible though. All I wanted was Act 3 of Stardust Speedway so I could race Metal Sonic and its looking like thats going to happen! So excited, but you’re right about there being a lot of cities. Though I can’t wait to see how they do Sky Sanctuary.
omg. only… omfg
The best metal sonic fight in generations.
Well I can’t wait!
Woah so Sonic CD is making a appearance in this game :O
Sega just answered my wishes, F*** YEAH, GET READY TO GET YOUR A** KICKED METAL SONIC!
I think something about bosses, Metal Sonic , Shadow & Silver, will be Modern Sonic bosses, Death Egg, Perfect Chaos &Egg Dragoon will be Classic Sonic bosses!
Yes! Now we need a Rooftop Run trailer!!
This also confirms transitions in bosses or 2 different versions of those so replayability up.
I am happy to see this game is gonna be BIG!
it was gonna happen having the Metal Sonic Starlight Speedway boss but could this mean that there are gonna be Bosses exclusive boss fights for each sonic or are there gonna be two versions of the boss
Aw, Metal Sonic looks so pudgy and squat. I just want to pinch his little metallic cheeks.
WOOHOOO Now all we need is a trailer but I wish Aquatic Ruin would join too FGS
We need a freaking Rooftop Run trailer first!
Then we can get on to the sexy stuff
So then who is the sonic heroes boss? Oh well im happy we get to race metal again. Than you for the sonic CD love sega.
Now how about some Ice Cap Zone! Work it out, talk about it, make it happen!
Classic Chibi Metal Sonic!!!! And I want to see more of spagonia, and now that Sega confirmed Chemical Plant, maybe some of that…
How… adorable, to say the least.
I think….. that head is way too large. Has me imagining him with this hyper pitched squeaky voice saying: “I am Metal Sonic. Fear my gargantuan head!”

The limbs also appear to be kind of short to be honest. I can’t fear this cute little guy like I could his more menacing version in the 90s.
“The report also provides some information on the 3DS version, claiming that the special stages will be those of Sonic 2.”
…..did NOBODY here see the screenshots? They’re right out of Sonic Heroes. hurrrrrrrrrrrrr
In the meantime..*cracks knuckles* BRING IT ON YOU BITCH, METAL SONIC! I’M READY!
Awwww yeah. I expected and hoped something like this to happen, AND IT DID. Awesome!
@Haru
Maybe we will get Classic and Modern special stages.
Like the Sonic Heroes ones for Modern and the Sonic 2 ones for Classic.
Well, this definitely sates my need for some Sonic CD lovin’. The Metal Sonic race is the best part of that game anyway, and I’d prefer it to a full level of Stardust Speedway if I had to choose between the two.
What this does seem to inadvertently confirm, however, is that boss fights may exist independently of the regular stages… something I had kind of assumed after seeing the completely random screenshot of the Launch Base boss in the 3DS, version.
While this might be good news regarding level variety and historical representation, it does make me even more curious about Sky Sanctuary – seriously, if that level DOESN’T have all the extra bosses in it, then I SINCERELY wonder what drugs Sega was on when they chose to include that level :/
I have to say, while this news regarding Metal Sonic is a real treat, I’m still pretty disappointed/skeptical regarding the boss list… if the Shadow and Silver fights are as bullshit boring and easy as they were in their respective games, I’m going to cry. Seriously – the character vs character fights in the Adventure games were so poorly done they legitimately should not have existed, as they were a complete and total waste of disc space.
Also… something I just thought of… I wonder if Silver will actually have a significant role in the story, considering his time traveling role in ’06 (not that I’m hoping he will, considering how much I loathe his character). Hopefully the inclusion of the Stardust Speedway race will somehow find a way to reference the Little Planet, for the same reason… it’d be pretty stupid on Sega’s part to not take those elements into account when creating a game involving time travel.
So totally called it!
Metal Sonic and Sonic’s race was an iconic moment in Sonic’s history and the big introduction to Metal’s character, so it only made sense that Sega place it in…
He looks so non threatening. Like Kirby when he frowns.
@*SOS
I see what you did there.
@metal sonic
IT IS SO CUUUUUUUUUTEEEE!!! AHHHHH IT IS SOO CUUUUUUUUTE!!!
Awww! Metal Sonic is so freakin adorable!
And yet he still retains his badass-ness. Sweet.
Nya that’s cute oUo
But the head is a little big. Well there are Two Metal Sonic’s in the Cannon Story
( at Least I heard) The first died in Stardust, and the one in Knuckles Chaotix who’s still kick’n, and appears in modern games sometimes.
@Sidwshow
You realize Metal is a robot and can be destroyed and rebuilt as many times as the good Doctor feels like it, right?
His proportions do seem a little weird, but I think its mostly just because of the angle and pose that he’s in.
Metal Sonic looks like a cross between Bad-Ass and Kirby! And I totally love it! I’m nit even sure if I can even hurt the little guy… well, that’s also how I originally felt when I found out that you have to fight Amy, Charmy, and Cream in the game (You have to fight Cream twice!)!
Sonic CD IS in this game after all? *dies*
I’d fap to a faithful remake of the Sonic CD Metal Sonic boss fight…I’d also love to face Shadow again at the ark(Sonic/Shadow last boss of SA2). That level was hawt.
it looks like the boss fights will be different formats (apart from the bash-your-fash-into-boss). Otherwise, they wouldn’t use Metal Sonic
@ChaoticFox
Idk dude…fighting Shadow on the Space Colony Ark was pretty epic to me, and yeah after you find the pattern (which takes no time) it is pretty easy to beat him…but still fun. I believe they can bring that fight back and make it even more challenging and fun and epic than it was before (considering how much the Hedgehog Engine can add to this level.) Now Silver on the other hand….that needs to be completely revamped.
@Jmack
Is that the one where you’re racing in a big straight line? If so, then yeah, that one was all right. Still not sure it would make for a worthwhile boss fight in Generations (especially considering the two chosen gameplay styles), but I’ll admit that one doesn’t quite fit in with the rest of the “waste of disc space” fights I was talking about (like the one in the jungle).
Ugh, remembering that level kinda makes me think that the Metal Sonic and Shadow fights could be almost exactly the same… what a letdown that would be ><
As for the two Fights. I Could see one being a 2-D Race, and the other being a 3D Race, or a Boss Fight.
Oh, and I want Modern Metal sonic to have mental Break Downs While
“Because We’re Sonic Heroes!” Echos over,and over again in his head.
@ChaoticFox
Yeah that’s kinda what I figured you were talkin about as far as waste of disc space boss fights (those are pretty lame). And as far as Shadow and Metal fights being the same on Generations I was thinking the exact same thing, it would be a letdown. The only real difference was that one was a race to the finish and one wasn’t. If done carefully though that could make all the difference in those two boss fights. But I wouldn’t get my hopes up…
Classic Metal Sonic is so cute! How can anything so evil be so cute?!
This news just keeps getting better and better!
Can someone tell me if there will be a classic and modern Metal Sonic, cuz that’s what everyone is saying… I thought there was Classic Metal Sonic only and that he fights both Sonics…
Oh yeah, I heard that the Xbox 360 version of Sonic Generations looks way better than the PS3 version, is that also true? You see, I gonna buy either one, but it depends on which one is better…
“I heard that the Xbox 360 version of Sonic Generations looks way better than the PS3 version, is that also true? ”
No, the ps3 is better than 360 in FrameRate.
And 360 have more bright.
In the end, ps3 is better. Sonic Unleashed is better in ps3 too.
something tells me Shadow is gonna be a boss character o.o
this is gonna be such an awesome game
Well…I guess…it’s…kinda cool…
I mean…if it weren’t…
AUGH DAMMIT SEGA I WANT THIS YOU SON OF A BITCH
Lol @ the Metal Sonic model
Man, this is awesome.
Now all I need is a official redesign of Mecha Sonic from Sonic and Knuckles
…….
@peoplesayingMetalSonicisnon-threateningbecausehe’scute
Exactly. You can use your cuteness to your advantage.
*looks at the CLassic Metal Sonic on Twitter*
OwO How can that little Metal SOnic be so CUUUTEE! Aaaaaaaaaaw I want to HUG HIM! 8D
Maybe not a good idea…
But I just got more reasons to buy the game! Not really, but still, I’m excited to see Metal in Generations!
@Yeow95
Kinda like Kirby? XD
