First, he uses Chaos Spear, which shoots a bunch of spikes into the ground ahead of you. If Shadow gets two energy cores first, he'll do his special attack. Of course, sometimes things don't always go perfect, especially you first time through. And that's it! achievement unlocked! If you somehow don't slow him down enough to catch up to him within about 30 seconds, the race for the energy cores will resume again. You will make him drop all his rings, then throw him in the air. Do this enough, and you will catch up to him. They will shatter and fly straight to Shadow and hit him to slow him down a bit. Use the left and right bumpers to sidestep and ram into all the meteors you see on the track. When you get your special attack, you will perform a constant boost without pressing anything. If it's their second core, they will go into their special attack. For whoever collects it, if it's their first, another energy core will spawn and you'll repeat the process. If you've been boosting non-stop and haven't hit any ramps, there's a pretty good chance you'll get there first. I'm not 100% sure if this counts as damaging him towards defeat though, and it doesn't happen too often, so don't plan on relying on that to defeat him.Įventually, someone will reach the energy core.

If he isn't boosting, he'll get knocked down and drop rings. If he is also boosting, you will just bounce off eachother. While boosting, one of two things will happen if you run into Shadow. Try to avoid boost ramps, as I've found being in the air really just slows you down.

Make sure to keep collecting rings and hitting the smaller blue meteors to keep your boost gauge charged up. The first character that collects 2 of them get to use their special attack, which I'll get to later.įirst off, boost. As you run along the track, you'll see a giant purple meteor flying up ahead. The fight itself is actually more of a race. Just stand on the words CITY ESCAPE, jump to the platform on the left, and hit the boost pad to land right next to him. Shadow is found right above the entrance to City Escape.
