There's also an Achievement for collecting all of the rings in the first special stage, which is extremely tough to do by yourself. They also get pretty tough, but thankfully you can pause and select to retry any special stage or even the regular ones without losing a life. These provide a nostalgic blast while also introducing a few choice new mechanics such as an item that strings a ring-collecting tether between Sonic and Tails. This time, the rotation-maze special stages from Episode I have been replaced by 3D Sonic 2-style half-pipes.

To step into Super Sonic's shoes, you'll need to complete seven special stages (as per series tradition). With or without Super Sonic, the last baddy is actually fun to beat rather than frustrating this time out. Oh, and the final boss is far, far less annoying than Episode I and Generations’ abominable end bosses. (As before, completing all seven special stages unlocks Sonic’s powered-up form.) Super Sonic deals twice the damage, but reverts to regular Sonic should you run out of rings.

On the downside, most bosses take a few too many hits to defeat, seemingly to compensate for the cool new ability to use Super Sonic during boss battles. They really are one of Episode II’s highlights.

Eggman’s latest robotic creations fill the screen with their immense size and each one works much differently than the others. This time out, each boss is completely new except for fan-favorite Metal Sonic. Some folks criticized the last game’s reuse of classic bosses rather than original creations. You’ll also face a couple of unique bosses on the new Death Egg, which unlocks after the previous zones are cleared. Like before, every zone culminates in a challenging boss battle.
