Boss Battles

Boss Battles are a feature of the game that that debuted in the Sonic Speed Simulator: Reborn update. They take place in their own sub-areas outside of the main Worlds, and center around the player (or a group of players) working to take down a singular opponent. The difficulty of each fight is significantly influenced by the number of participants, as well as the Friends, Trails, and Stats each participant has equipped during the battle. So far, a total of three boss battles have been implemented into the game.
==Eggman==
This is a boss fight that can be challenged by anywhere between 1 and 16 players, collaborating to take down Dr. Eggman, whose total HP scales depending on the amount of players participating in the battle. It takes place in a disjointed section of Emerald Hill, requiring its own portal to access. 
=== How to Play===
Eggman's boss fight consists of two distinct phases. During the first phase, Eggman will be surrounded by an impenetrable barrier, protecting him from all attacks from the player. During this time, Eggman will attempt to attack the player with freezing beams and a barrage of ice missiles. If the player is hit with either of these attacks, they will become frozen, trapped in a block of ice, with a timer counting down until they can become unfrozen. Trapped players can escape immediately if another player breaks the ice with a Homing Attack. 
In order to circumvent the barrier, the player must locate and destroy the various glowing generators around the arena that give the barrier its power. There are eight generators scattered across the boss arena, however, the amount the player will need to destroy is dependent on the number of players participating in the fight. A map of the arena can be found here. 
Once all generators have been destroyed, the barrier will vanish, and Eggman will enter his second phase where he becomes vulnerable to the player's attack while also being unable to attack himself. After enough damage is dealt, Eggman will return to his first phase, and the player will be tasked with destroying the generators once again, repeating this process until Eggman's HP reaches 0. 
===Outcomes===
====Winning====
Upon defeating Dr. Eggman, the player receives a rank based on how quickly they complete the battle. The rank also determines how many Spins the player will receive for use in the exclusive Spin Wheel found in the waiting area of the arena.
====Losing====
If the player fails to defeat Eggman within the allotted time limit, the battle immediately ends and the player is presented with the results screen, always receiving the rank of F and earning no rewards.

==Eggman (Hard Mode)==
This Hard Mode version of the fight is very similar to its regular counterpart, with key differences such as increased boss HP, an increased number of generators, an expanded arena, and a different set of rewards in the Spin Wheel, with Riders Vector being a notable inclusion. This version of the battle can be accessed via a portal in New Yoke City's spawn area.

== Neo Metal Sonic==
This is a single-player battle where players take control of Super Sonic to fight against Neo Metal Sonic, who boasts a total of 3,000 HP. The boss fight takes place in space surrounded by meteors. Similar to Tornado Assault, the entire fight is done while flying through the air. 
===How to Play===
Neo Metal Sonic's boss fight is broken up into two distinct phases, the first in which he attempts to attack the player using Chaos Spear, a set of purple lasers, sword-like slashes with an energy blade, and a large purple beam fired from his chest. During this phase, the player is unable to attack Neo Metal Sonic, due to the boss having a barrier raised around himself. In the second phase, Neo Metal Sonic drops the barrier and becomes vulnerable. In order to deal damage, the player must first collect Chaos Orbs to fill their energy gauge, and then press the jump button to attack when Neo Metal Sonic's barrier is down. Additionally, the player has a life gauge that slowly drains over time, and can be refilled by collecting Rings. 
===Outcomes===
====Winning====
Upon defeating Neo Metal Sonic, the player receives a rank based on how quickly they complete the battle.
====Losing ====
If the player's life Ring counter fully depletes and reaches 0, or if they fail to defeat Neo Metal Sonic within eight minutes, the player is immediately met with the results screen and receives no rank.
== Super Neo Metal Sonic ==
This boss fight works in a similar way to Neo Metal Sonic's boss fight, with some differences:
* A different intro cutscene will play, where Super Sonic will turn around to see a damaged Neo Metal Sonic appear. He will then raise his hand, firing a beam from it, before transforming into Super Neo Metal Sonic.
* The boss's HP is doubled to 6,000.
* The laser beams are now red instead of purple.
The biggest difference is the new quick-time event: Super Neo Metal Sonic will form three barriers around himself. Super Sonic will then charge towards the incoming Super Neo Metal Sonic. Then the player will have to mash either the jump or spin buttons to break through all three barriers. If this succeeds, Super Neo Metal Sonic will fire a beam as a last resort to get rid of Super Sonic, but the golden hedgehog easily dodges it before punching the boss, dealing tremendous damage. The fight will then resume. Ring depletion will pause during this quick-time event. 
==Trivia== 
*A skip feature was added to the spin screen; simply tap or click anywhere on the spin screen to skip and save time!
*The Eggmobile used in the boss fight against Eggman resembles the one from Eggman's boss fight in Sonic Dash.
*When the Neo Metal Sonic boss fight was originally introduced during the Super Sonic: Powering Up event, the player could complete it to repeatedly earn Candy Canes for spending in the seasonal Holiday Shop. The amount earned depended on the rank the player received at the end of the battle.
*In the Super Neo Sonic Boss Battle in the Super Metal Overlord event the white moon in the background of the Neo Metal Sonic Boss Battle is now yellow, implying it also somehow turned into a super form.
