Here it is! The final boss in [[Sonic Mania]]! At least if you haven't collected the Chaos Emeralds, anyway. This time, Eggman attacks in a mech with arms and legs. It is held with 4 appendage structures that can electrocute Sonic, and it has rockets on top that he can fire. He's got the Ruby in there too, so be careful!

This boss requires 16, you heard me, 16 hits to defeat. The main part has a shield on it so you can't easily attack. When Eggman electrifies the appendage structures, the shield is disabled, so you can hit it this way. He also shoots rockets, but luckily they have numbers on the crosshairs so they are easy to avoid. After 4 hits one of the appendages will be destroyed. There is also another attack. Eggman will use the Phantom Ruby to spawn hands that will grab Sonic and teleport him to one of the Hard Boiled Heavies. Don't worry, after a while you will teleport back, and I'm pretty sure you don't need to attack the Heavies. After 12 more hits, the mech will be destroyed, and one of two things will happen. If you have 6 or less Chaos Emeralds, Eggman will pop out of the mech and throw a temper tantrum, and Sonic will make his escape with Tails and Knuckles. If you have all 7, the Phantom Ruby will react and send the player to Egg Reverie Zone for the final boss.

When the boss begins, Eggman's mech is surrounded by an impenetrable red shield that deflects all attacks, including from super characters. In this state, the doctor hops around the room, occasionally firing the four missiles on his back at the heroes, leaving visible crosshairs where they will strike. Eventually the scientist lands, electrifies the appendages, and removes the barrier; the appendages become deenergized shortly before the shield goes back up, buying the heroes a chance to land a hit or two before it becomes invincible again (alternately, super characters or those with Lightning shields can attack the doctor for the duration of the time his shield is down). Occasionally, Eggman will produce two phantom hands that will drift towards the player until he grabs them, warping them to another room temporarily to be attacked by one of the Hard Boiled Heavies - Heavy Gunner attacks with rockets fired from the background, Heavy Shinobi bounces or charges around the room as a giant shriuken and occasionally fires the spines off temporarily before summoning them back to himself, Heavy Magician has three enormous cups that spin around each other before revealing herself (the other two fire enormous lasers), and Heavy Rider will place the hero on an autoscrolling obstacle course that continues until he hits a wall. If the player survived the attack by the heavy, they are warped back to Eggman and the fight resumes.

Dealing four hits will destroy one of Eggman's appendages and make it easier to strike the doctor; the eighth hit destroys the second appendage (allowing Eggman to float in midair at times instead of bouncing), the twelfth hit blows the third appendage off, and landing the sixteenth and final hit destroys the machine outright. If the player is Sonic with all seven Chaos emeralds, the Emeralds will interact with the Ruby and warp Sonic, Eggman, and Heavy King to Egg Reverie zone; otherwise Eggman's body mech cracks and drops a tantruming doctor on the ground, prompting the player to flee with the other heroes in a rocket car nearby as Titanic Monarch goes up in flames.

Sonic Mania's pseudo final boss (penultimate boss if confronted with Sonic and all seven Chaos emeralds), Titanic Monarch act 2 ends with a confrontation with Eggman, now piloting a spherical body mech with the Phantom ruby directly attached and with the entire construct held in place by 4 appendages connected to the walls.

Defeat Strategy

When the boss begins, Eggman's mech is surrounded by an impenetrable red shield that deflects all attacks, including from super characters. In this state, the doctor hops around the room, occasionally firing the four missiles on his back at the heroes, leaving visible crosshairs where they will strike. Eventually the scientist lands, electrifies the appendages, and removes the barrier; the appendages become deenergized shortly before the shield goes back up, buying the heroes a chance to land a hit or two before it becomes invincible again (alternately, super characters or those with Lightning shields can attack the doctor for the duration of the time his shield is down). Occasionally, Eggman will produce two phantom hands that will drift towards the player until he grabs them, warping them to another room temporarily to be attacked by one of the Hard Boiled Heavies - Heavy Gunner attacks with rockets fired from the background, Heavy Shinobi bounces or charges around the room as a giant shriuken and occasionally fires the spines off temporarily before summoning them back to himself, Heavy Magician has three enormous cups that spin around each other before revealing herself (the other two fire enormous lasers), and Heavy Rider will place the hero on an autoscrolling obstacle course that continues until he hits a wall. If the player survived the attack by the heavy, they are warped back to Eggman and the fight resumes.

Dealing four hits will destroy one of Eggman's appendages and make it easier to strike the doctor; the eighth hit destroys the second appendage (allowing Eggman to float in midair at times instead of bouncing), the twelfth hit blows the third appendage off, and landing the sixteenth and final hit destroys the machine outright. If the player is Sonic with all seven Chaos emeralds, the Emeralds will interact with the Ruby and warp Sonic, Eggman, and Heavy King to Egg Reverie zone; otherwise Eggman's body mech cracks and drops a tantruming doctor on the ground, prompting the player to flee with the other heroes in a rocket car nearby as Titanic Monarch goes up in flames.
