Sonic Frontiers director Morio Kishimoto has informed IGN today that some of the game’s bosses can not be beaten by Sonic unless he transforms into Super Sonic, leading to speculation that some of the later bosses could pose to be quite a handful for players to defeat. To become Super Sonic in Sonic Frontiers, players will have to acquire and use all seven Chaos Emeralds in the open zone game. Sonic Frontiers launches on 8th September.
“Normally in Sonic games you’ll encounter a boss and you’ll fight them as regular, blue Sonic. In Sonic Frontiers, there will be bosses that blue Sonic can’t even scratch,” Kishimoto said. “But if he collects and uses all seven Chaos Emeralds, he can become Super Sonic and then battle those bosses. Becoming Super Sonic will be the only way to fight them.”
“Up until now, in Sonic games, Super Sonic would only appear against the last boss. Imagine if the first boss in Sonic Frontiers is as strong as those bosses,” the director said.
