So it’s technically not completed then. 😛 That said, the other characters’ stories are laughable and I wouldn’t wish them on my worst enemy. I also completed Sonic’s story on the XBLA re-release recently and, like you, performed numerous “homing attacks” straight through the Egg Viper boss before remembering that a long jump works much better.

But yeah, it’s still one of the better 3D Sonics out there (admittedly not a massive accomplishment) and the sequel would have been okay too if not for the fact that it was responsible for Shadow The Hedgehog…
