Mecharez is a giant, mechanical lizard based, in appearance, on Rez from Gex: Enter the Gecko. This is strange, as Rez is already mechanical. Mecharez is purple in color and, unlike Rez, has legs. Its fight is based on fights from the Godzilla series of films. The fight takes place in a flat, 2D city with only a few 3D buildings which play a role in the battle. After a few hits on Mecharez, helicopters and tanks appear to fight them off, particularly Gex. The more Mecharez gets hit, the more angry and hostile it gets. It becomes faster, more vicious, and stronger. Its main attack is a current of electrical energy which it fires from its mouth which inflicts 25% damage on Gex. Before using it, the player is forewarned as Mecharez scans the area emitting a sort of oral radar. It's other main ability is its Rocket Slam, where it zooms across the stage towards Gex's current location in an attempt to make contact with him, thereby inflicting damage. After its defeat, Mecharez blows up, with Gex roaring victoriously.

Rock Hard
Rock Hard is a wrestler in Gex 3's WWGEX Wrestling. He is likely based on The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin. The back of his jacket says "3 + 1 = 6" which is a reference to Stone Cold's trademark "Austin 3:16." Throughout the fight, he will taunt Gex, saying things such as, "You smell what Rock Hard's cookin'?" and "And that's the bottom line because the Rock Hard says so", a reference to The Rock and Stone Cold's catchphrases, respectively.
