Game: Sonic Mania |

Hits to defeat: 16 |
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.
