Inobuta Mecha is the boss of Gimmick Mt. Zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. "Inobuta" is Japanese word for a pig-wild boar hybrid, which has no direct English equivalent. This metal-spiked kill-hog crashes from one end of the screen to another, dislodging heavy rocks from the ceiling when it impacts. These are deadly in and of themselves, never mind the crazed robot running around beneath them. On the plus side, Inobuta Mecha charges so hard and so fast that the machine stuns itself when it collides with the side of the arena, retracting its spikes and giving Sonic a short window to do some damage.
