Iron Boots

The Iron Boots (アイアンブーツ^[1], Aianbūtsu^?) are objects that appear in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. They are a Level Up Item for Rouge the Bat in Sonic Adventure 2.

Description

The Iron Boots are a pair of metal heels that can be attached to Rouge's regular boots. Once equipped, they allow Rouge's attacks to destroy iron crates. Using this Level Up Item causes Rouge to leave a pink energy trail. They are the equivalent to Knuckles the Echidna's Hammer Gloves.

Location

The Iron Boots are found in Mad Space on the Spherical Planet. The actual location in the stage differs between the original Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle:

Sonic Adventure 2

In Sonic Adventure 2 at the beginning the stage, the player must head down the red-lighted launch pad and turn on the switch which will activate a rocket on the platform in front of it. It will then take Rouge to the Capsule Planet. This is the only rocket that will take the player away from the "start platform" as it will be the only one without an iron container covering the switch that activates its rocket. This also makes it impossible for the player to take the rocket directly to the Spherical Planet, as its switch will be covered by another iron container.

Once the player has taken the rocket to the Capsule Planet, they can Glide directly from the Capsule Planet to the Spherical Planet. On the top of the Spherical Planet they will find a metallic building where the Iron Boots can be found inside.

Sonic Adventure 2: Battle

In Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, the switch that will activate the rocket directly to the Spherical Planet will be the only switch without a iron container covering it, while the switch that activates the rocket to the Capsule Planet will be covered by a new iron container. As a result, when beginning the stage, the player must head down the yellow-lighted launch pad and turn on the switch that will activate a rocket on the platform in front of it. It will then take Rouge directly to the Spherical Planet. The player must then proceed to the metallic building on top of the planet, and the Iron Boots can be found inside.

Trivia

• In Sonic Adventure 2, the stage's layout allows this Level Up Item to be skipped. While this may make some emerald shards harder to obtain, it can be done. If an emerald shard were to be blocked in some way by an iron container, the player could allow themselves to die or fall off the stage and the emerald shard would relocate to another location.
• While it is possible to skip this Level Up Item in the Dreamcast version, it is impossible to skip in Sonic Adventure 2: Battle without cheating.
• The Iron Boots share their name with an item in The Legend of Zelda series.
