Games : Sonic the Hedgehog PS3 - Silver's story: Iblis (Last Boss)

This boss is extremely difficult, I know how to catch the huge fire ball and such but when I counter attack with the huge fire ball and after he does the waves of flames, he destories the entire foothold when I looked on a video on YouTube, he lowers his head so you can use the powers on his head but my entire platform destories and if I glide, the bar eventually runs out and I die, what do? Also when I grab alot of.small fire balls and try to throw them, they instantly blow up Sometimes -.- Please note that my PS3 is European, UK and the game is American, like shipped from America, I don't know if that has to do anything but Yeah.
