So, last time, we compared the old boss battle with the Biolizard to its new version. The next one was supposed to be Metal Overlord, but I suggest skipping it for now and moving on to something more interesting.
Let’s take a look at how the boss battle with Mephiles has changed after 18 years and what references the new version draws from Sonic The Hedgehog 2006.
