Death Egg Robot (Sonic Mania boss)

Death Egg Robot (Sonic Mania boss)
Game: Sonic Mania
Level: [[Green Hill Zone]]
Hits to defeat: 8

The Death Egg Robot is the first boss encountered in Sonic Mania, originally the final boss of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. The player confronts it at the end of Green Hill Zone Act 2.

Defeat Strategy

This incarnation of the Death Egg Robot is much different from its Sonic 2 counterpart. The boss constantly moves to the right, chasing down the player.

After a short lock-on period, the boss will preform one of two attacks. His most common attack has him jabbing a mechanical arm towards the player for about three seconds. Making contact with the arm's spiked end will cause damage. Occasionally, he will shoot a bomb toward Sonic, exploding shortly after hitting the ground. In order to damage the robot, the player must take advantage of the hills that appear along the way to gain enough jumping height to hit the robot. Alternatively, the player can jump off the top of the robot's mechanical arm. The boss takes eight hits to defeat, after which is it destroyed and falls offscreen.
