'''Bouncy Boss Robot'''{{fileref|SonicChaos GG US manual.pdf|page=16}}, known as '''Hopping Egg Vulcan''' (ホッピング・エッグバルカン) in the Japanese manual{{fileref|Sonic Chaos Game Gear JP Manual.pdf|page=27}}, is the third boss of ''[[Sonic Chaos]]'', fought at the end of [[Sleeping Egg Zone]].
Throughout ''[[Sonic Chaos]]'', and in a marked change of his tactics from other early games, our old friend [[Eggman|Doctor Robotnik]] apparently thinks he's too ''important'' to face [[Sonic]] or [[Tails]] personally (until the [[Robotnik (Electric Egg Zone boss)|last boss]]). Instead the Doctor deploys larger, tougher, nastier [[badniks]] as boss robots. [[Sleeping Egg Zone]]'s '''boss''', referred to as '''Hopping Egg Vulcan''' (ホッピング・エッグバルカン) in Japan, is (in keeping with the pogo spring theme of the level) a bouncing, gun-toting, [[Eggman]]-look-a-like robot. This machine can actually provide some problems, as only the head is vulnerable, and the speed of its bouncing is such that landing a strike takes some work. All the while, the boss' Vulcan cannon spits bullets in [[Sonic]] or [[Tails]]'s direction.

Bouncy Boss RobotMedia:SonicChaos GG US manual.pdf[1], known as Hopping Egg Vulcan (ホッピング・エッグバルカン) in the Japanese manualMedia:Sonic Chaos Game Gear JP Manual.pdf[2], is the third boss of Sonic Chaos, fought at the end of Sleeping Egg Zone.

Strategy

In keeping with the Pogo Spring theme of the Zone, the Bouncy Boss Robot is a bouncing, gun-toting, Eggman-look-a-like robot. This machine can actually provide some problems, as only the head is vulnerable, and the speed of its bouncing is such that landing a strike takes some work. All the while, the boss' Vulcan cannon spits bullets in Sonic or Tails's direction, making it ever harder to land a hit.

After eight hits in the Master System version, or five hits in the Game Gear version, the player will destroy the boss and move on to Mecha Green Hill Zone.
