[edit] Zone 1: G-Mel-Large Hammer Form
Strategy: When the Hammer comes up to hit you, go the opposite direction and after it stops, it should pause for 3 secs and thats when you hit it. After 4 hits of that it should break down and you win.
[edit] Zone 2: Large Ball-Eggman Form
Strategy: The room for this boss is a blue circumfrence room with switches in the middle. The machine is a huge spike ball and once again you must hit the spot where EggMan lies in, your gonna need a flying team which is very helpful so you wont get hit. Prefferably Sonic & Tails. Press the blue stick while he's not hitting you so you can get rid of his defense mechanism. Use the platform to hit him, after 5 hits he'll be destroyed.
[edit] Zone 3: Spring Machine
Strategy: Slightly easy, all you have to do is hit him while he jumps in the air and you should be finished in less than a minute. To clarify something he is one of the most easiest boss, if not the easiest, in Sonic history.
[edit] Zone 4: G-Mel
Strategy: You have to dodge this overwise you may be pushed down the left hand hole causing you to die. To dodge, jump away from it, perhaps towards the box and jump back as soon as possible. Also be careful of the little soldiers that come out, just attack them to get rid of them. Flying might help a bit here. After 6 attacks he should be out so dont worry he's an intermidiate type of fellow.
[edit] Zone 5: Eggman Machine
Strategy: This is a very hard boss, almost the hardest in the game (apart from the final boss). You are in a large vertical room with a series of never-ending platforms. What you must do is jump up the platforms and hopefully make them drop on the machine when the dome is below you. You have to be very careful,the screen moves quite fast and you must use the platforms. You can't fly, and you can't use a tag action. Also the boss can't be directly hit. The only way to hit the boss is to keep on going up the platforms and get them to drop on Eggman. Don't wait until Eggman is below you, just keep going up until Eggman is destroyed. Tails at the front is best because in case you miss a platform, you can try to fly to the next one. The only attack Eggman tries to use here is when the machine turns over and he launches a spiked ball at you. If this happens, the only way to avoid it is to jump away if you can.
[edit] Zone 6: Eggman Cannon
Strategy: Dont try attacking Eggman directly in this boss because you cant, you must have accurate timing and when he launches the missles do the sonic spin jump to make it bounce back to him but becareful because it is harder than it seems.
[edit] Zone 7: Chaos Angel
Strategy: The boss from Sonic Advance 1, this time however you have to hit the strings to knock him off balance, do this and you should be able to climb him and hit the window part. Easy? Did I mention the part where theres spikes in the bottom, missles heading at you, and a bouncing ball of string?
[edit] Zone 9: G-Mel & Eggman
Strategy: Giant robots aiming at you while GMEL is about to attack you, perfect combo for the perfect alliance. The first attack, almost always used at the start is where the hands move across the screen and stop above two platforms. Watch very carefully because the platforms which the hands stop above will bw pushed through the floor by the hands. If you are on them or fall into the holes which are created, you will die. The best way to avoid this is stand in between any two platforms, such as right in the middle of the screen. Then when the hands stop, you can just move a little to the left or right annd avoid them. You can get on top of the hands when they come up to hit Eggman, but be careful when they turn over at the top. The second attack is when the hands move to the side of the screen and a series of red balls appear. The hands will bounce them around the screen. If you run into them the will hurt you, but you can jump on top of them and hit Eggman. They may also explode after a while. Another attack is when the two hands move up and down at the side of the screen. When they stop, they will come in and try to grab you, and throw you up and down causing you to lose rings or die. If you do get grabbed by the hands and you are playing as Sonic, you can press A and B to spin and hit the robot when you are at the top. To avoid this attack, jump just as the hands come near you. The final attack is when the hands punch towards you 3 times. It is hard, almost impossible to get away from and causes a lot of damage to you, but if you finish the battle quickly, this attack is never used. Try to finish this battle quickly, otherwise it gets very difficult. It is best if you can jump/fly up to Eggman without having to jump on the hands or balls. This way you can get a lot of hits in.
