When the Silver Sonics rev up their Spin Dash, the player must perform a Spin Attack on them to make them bounce around the room and hit Metal Sonic. Metal Sonic will also occasionally fire balls of electricity towards the player in an attempt to damage them. While the Silver Sonic can be disposed off with one hit like a normal Badnik, another one will spawn immediately after its destruction. This Silver Sonic has two different attacks: it will either attempt to attack the player with a Spin Dash, or it swipe at the player using their extendable claw arms before dashing forward using their jet boots until they hit the edge of the screen. The generator's "mouth" will then open as a Silver Sonic emerges from it.

When the player reaches the arena, Metal Sonic will interface with a gigantic Eggman-shaped generator to control it. Maximum Overdrive Attack to attack the player from behind. Instead, the player must make it to the arena while dodging Metal Sonic, who will be flying around trying to Spin Dash the player, fly into them using his Ring Spark Field, or use the V. In this first part of the fight, Metal Sonic cannot be damaged. The music stops and Animals rush on screen with nothing happening for a few seconds until Metal Sonic suddenly appears and begins the fight by initiating a race. The battle begins after the player comes across and destroys a Metal Sonic Projector.
