Can't touch this. Stop. Hammertime.

That is the best name for an achievement ever. I am slightly bummed that this run where I get said achievement is slower than a previous run.. because.. erm.. I don't know - Sonic decided he wanted to slow down on the last but final hit and it took me a few more seconds to finish off the boss. Bummer.
Said previous run, I didn't get the achievement, and i'm still not sure why. How strange.

I know everyone's been ragging on this fight, but I thought it was no worse than any of the other 3d Super Sonic battles. They've all been pretty terrible, and this one wasn't that bad. I almost enjoyed it. Except for the constant chatter from the other characters.
Thanks Sega - we really needed to be told every little thing the boss does by Charmy and Amy. THANK YOU. IT'S NOT LIKE THAT MAKES YOU WANT TO TEAR YOUR HAIR OUT OR ANYTHING.

Bit of a confusing boss though. May take a few attempts to figure out what to do.
Here's some tips for nabbing the achievement for this boss:

* If you aren't a sado-masocist, play on Normal. I decided to get the achievement on Hard because i'm an idiot.
* Keep hold of boost down the entire battle. Don't let go. Do it straight away and head for the rings as soon as the boss fight starts because otherwise you'll probably run out of rings.
* The debris doesn't count as taking damage. This is probably because the Sonics are so freakin' hard to control, it's not funny. You can use the other Sonic (press A) and release him to destroy anything in your way. This does mean you can't switch between 2d and 3d until the other Sonic returns to you. Be careful.
* Don't bother trying to hit him in the 2d sections. It's possible, but pointless. It puts you at high risk from his attacks.
* Speaking of his attacks - I have no idea how to dodge the hand swipe attack in the 2d section. Your best bet? Memorize when he pulls it off, and stick to the 3d mode until he pulls the attack off. Switch to 2d when his hand appears. I'd do the same for the laser as well.
* Whilst holding A (jump) down, the other Sonic spins in front of you. You go slightly faster whilst doing this. Use this to close in on the boss.
* Only attack the boss when he's doing the hand swipe.
* The boss likes to combine his time stopping attack with the laser. As soon as time speeds up again, switch between the two plains of play.
* Sometimes the game derps up, and you'll find you'll be unable to move Sonic to the left or right in 3d mode. If this happens, press A, and release. If that doesn't work, switch plains again. This happened during this recording, and in fact every time i've fought this boss.
* Do not stick to the edges at any time. You can go outside of the boss arena and get stuck. Seriously.


And that's it! The Pinch mode... isn't anything to right home about. You're told what to do even if tutorials are off, so - yeah. Anyway.

This is the last boss, and I didn't think too badly of it. It's a shame the game sort of peeks with Silver, boss wise though.
I'll upload the ending seperately. It's about 10 minutes long.
