My adblock just needs me to clear cache and it bypasses youtuber so I imagine it's like what happens when a game released with Denuvo. People get so soured they are determined to remove it out of sheer spite

This is the tamest part of that stuff, Rayman snorts coke and eats food off the back of a naked chick in it too lmao
I knew the coke part, but oh boy, you had to bring up the part of a naked chick, did you?

What are you at? Golden Capital act 2 or. The other one? If it's the latter I can give some advice
The other one.

This ****ing blows, I keep finding new ways to instantly die right when I've got him so close to defeat 😭

Are you playing alone?

Because I feel like this boss was designed for 4 people at once. And if you don’t have that…it’s kinda poopy.
Yeah, solo.

And it's hell.

Well, I am not sure that even having other players, or the "real super power of teamwork" could save you there. :troll:

I have yet to try it myself, but I beat the main story, and the final boss was rather a pain.

I'm probably not the only one who thinks this but I think Normal Form Terapagos will be Normal type and its Terastal Form will be the same as the 19th Tera type.

Ok. So. I am gonna be as detailed as possible here cause this boss is an actual nightmare and you may feel discouraged but here's some **** I figured out
Phase 1, 6 hits total

Fang always shoots 2 barrages of missiles and then alternates between laser cubes and trying to ram you. When Fang has the laser cube thingies, he'll fly in the direction you're facing, what I try to do is rev up a Spin Dash when the terrain is higher, if you spaced and timed it well, you can jump over Fang by jumping over the next high point, which lets you simply wait his 3 cubes out.

When he wants to ram into you, make sure you're at the top in the middle of the screen, that makes it easier.

He'll always do the 8 laser cubes after getting 3 hits, use Avatar to clip him through the cubes or Fireball to just fly around him and wait for him to leave a blind spot you can hit, I find Fireball easier so use Avatar first.

After you hit him 3 times, his ram attack is faster, you can use Slow to time the attack better or Special in midair to spit a fireball while he goes down, I find Slow more reliable personally.

If you hit him 6 times, phase 2 starts, but you get all the emerald powers restored. 8 hits total

The Anton attack has you need to go around him and jump into an Anton from under to launch it into him

Between every attack, he should fire nets at you, I try going fast and jumping when they're about to get fired to avoid it when the single reticle is on the bottom, but if it's on top, I prefer staying still to try and double jump right before he fires. It IS possible to mash out the nets but I swear you need luck.

When he fires bombs from his shoulders, attack the green bouncy balls to send them back to him. You can use Slow or Avatar here to help if you want.

After 3 hits, he'll always follow up with an Anton swarm and get more aggressive when firing cork missiles so you need to take note of the nets when he does that attack, otherwise you may run into it when trying to avoid his cork spam, if he stops attacking and you hit a net though, he'll still cancel the net.

If the screen stops scrolling, he's about to nose dive into your platforms, I think he only does this once and when he's taken 7 hits, but stay away from the middle, ideally you'd double jump and use Fireball, his head's vulnerable when this happens though

Good luck, this is possibly the hardest Sonic boss we've ever seen, what a ****ing glow up compared to his first boss fight in Triple Trouble being a literal joke

I'm so sorry but I actually managed to beat him a few minutes before you posted this detailed explanation lol.

And for the laser cube thingies, I just did a slow jog towards them and could slip underneath them relatively comfy with plenty of time to get a hit in. Your strategy sounds more effective though so I'll probably try to incorporate that if I ever decide to fight him again. Honestly my biggest hangup was that ****ing net move and being unable to mash out most of the time.

But yeah, they absolutely turned Fang into a god damn menace in this game. Years of neglect besides the occasional cameo here and there must do that to ya.

Edit: it occurred to me that you fight him other times so you might be talking about a different fight.

Damn. I got one last tip for you then for what's next, the FINAL final boss, For Real This Time.

if you get sucked into a black hole, you can dash out, but it costs rings.

When Tails and Knuckles fly around dropping rings, don't just grab the rings they drop, try touching them too, it gets you an additional 10, which helps a lot.

If you see what looks like a homing reticle, time it well and keep at it, you're almost there

No matter what anyone says, this meme is factual
This reminds me of something ****ing weird


I've never personally played Roblox, but apparently they have a game mode called "Scary Elevator", which has every floor the players face off against various horror movie icons or creepypasta characters


And randomly one of them is just Clownpiece from Touhou


I don't get it.

That moment when you see a golden glow slightly off screen in Sonic Superstars and you think its a special stage ring and you scramble to get it and it's just a hidden medal.

Hehe, that kinda throws me back to when I was but a young Pink Yoshi. I LOVED the special stages in Sonic and I wanted an entire compilation game made of just those. Like Blue Sphere's millions of levels, but for every single Sonic special stage.

Including the Game Gear ones.

Gotta wait until morning before I can play Mario. It's going to be so much fun playing through the game blind. :?:


As always, please be sure to use Spoiler tags when discussing the game for the next few weeks. :bowser:

Honestly I hate hunting for special stage rings. I prefer when they’re tied to checkpoints or the end level sign. I have five out of seven emeralds but that’s taken two of my five main campaign playthroughs to just randomly stumble onto the rings (to be fair I’d have them all by now if that green emerald wasn’t so hard to catch. Hopefully the last two won’t be as hard to grab).
