Sonic's metallic doppelganger is confirmed for Sonic Generations. This official Sega news lines up with the supposedly leaked full stage list for the game, which labels Metal Sonic as a boss fights.

Could Sonic Generations include a remake of the 2D side-scrolling race against Metal Sonic? If that's so, then we can also look forward to a 3D race as modern Sonic. This just got a little more exciting.

Now, for your amusement, this modded fight from Sonic & Knuckles with Super Sonic vs. Super Metal Sonic:

Also, be sure to check out my preview of the Green Hill Zone and City Escape stages.

    Didn't he originally appear in Sonic 2?

    Awesome, Metal Sonic is one of the few awesome Sonic characters outside of Sonic! Now that I think about it, all of the characters in the Genesis Era were pretty good, especially since they didn't have annoying voice actors.

    I miss the old style of rolling explosions used in 16 bit games...

    Woo! I've always been a fan of Metal Sonic, so this is good news to me. Hopefully he's also playable, at least as an unlockable skin.

    Remember the Sonic fighting game, and Metal Sonic was a pain in the butt?  That arcade machine must have 20 dollars of quarters in it.

    Debug mode in the old games was awesome. I would cover the screen with coins until I hit 999 then I would fly through the stages as super sonic and later the second stage of awesomeness sonic of 3.

    There were some "chase-style" boss fights in all the recent Sonic titles; Secret Rings, Unleashed and Colors. I'm pretty sure we'll see another Metal Sonic style chase fight in Generations then. Which is good because the "chase style" fights are always some of the best, and more uniquely "Sonic".

    It would be really nice if they could somehow include stages from Sonic X-Treme in Generations. Seems like a colossal waste of some people's time at Sega Technical Institute to work so hard on some amazing (for the time) game demos, just because Yuji Naka was a Dick and wouldn't cooperate with the US Sega Studios. But they still managed to get playable levels for at least 3 zones done. Why not make new versions of the Jade Gully, Crystal Frost and/or Death Egg zones to give some closure to that project?

    I bet the GI Staff is still hoping for Shadow to be in the game

    Don't really care all that much, but it's kind of cool. I haven't really been into Sonic all that much since I was a kid and back on the Sega.
