Last Story[]
Unlock Condition: If the player beat the game and obtained all 7 Chaos Emeralds (by completing the Reactor Levels), they will unlock the Last Story (which appears under Continue in the Main Menu.
Story: Despite Eggman being forced to retreat, a sinister force still lingers. A dark force appears and consumes the Eggman Empire Fortress, which Sonic and the Avatar are sent off to investigate. Upon making it to the former fortress, the duo are sucked into the darkness. They awaken in an area which is black and shifts between the colours of the Chaos Emeralds, only to be taunted by a familiar voice.
"Foolish hedgehog, did you really think that was the end of me? Using my power, all of the planet you hold dear shall be consumed by Null Space."
It's clear to the duo that Infinite is still alive (somehow) and that they've got to stop him before the planet is consumed by Null Space.
| Stage Name | Stage Type | Description | Additional Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Null Space | Tag Team | -SYSTEM UNKNOWN- | The true final stage of Sonic Resistance, the player is put to the test as they use their skills to make it to the end. That is, if they make it to the end... |
| VS Phantom Infinite (Phase 1) | BOSS | -SYSTEM UNKNOWN- | The first phase is fought in a 3D arena, where Phantom Infinite uses all his power. If he hits you with his attacks, the illusion will attack as Giant Zavok (fireballs), Super Shadow (Chaos Spear), Perfect Chaos (tentacles) or Metal Overlord (crystal missiles). His battle theme is a remix of his battle theme, done in the style of SA2's Supporting Me. |
| VS Phantom Infinite (Phase 2) | BOSS | -SYSTEM UNKNOWN- | The second phase is fought as Super Sonic and Super Avatar (who wields the Final Colour Blaster). Rings are drained every second, and you'll lose a life if they drop to 0.
