From Sonic Retro
When the fight with
Flying Eggman (フライングエッグマン) (found in
Metropolis Zone) starts, Robotnik comes down in his ship which is surrounded by seven white orbs flying around it like Saturn's rings, at close range. These rings protect him from attack. There are, however, some ways to hit him at this point. One, of course, is to get hit yourself and then hit him. This is a bad idea to do regularly but if you get hit use it to hit him (but recover a ring first). Another way is to try and hit him at a point where the orbs don't cover him - such points do exist, but only for split seconds. This is very risky and I don't recommend trying it until you've destroyed all but one orb. It is nearly impossible at the beginning. A third, more sneaky, way is to use Tails (with a second controller) to hit him since Tails can take an infinite amount of damage without losing rings or dying. This, of course, requires that you're playing as Sonic and Tails and have a second controller.
