As the Xbox 360 and PS3 debut of Sonic the Hedgehog (and Shadow, and Silver, and bit-parts from various other speed-running, ring-jumping mammals) approaches, we've got our hands on artwork for four of the bosses you'll be facing off against.
Mechanical beasties that wouldn't look out of place in one of Sega's mech action titles, and a final boss that looks big enough to make even Sonic's spikes wilt in dismay, will all be crashing the hedgehog's 15th birthday like the party-poopers bosses are.
