Death Egg Zone is the final level in Sonic and Knuckles. When playing, you actually run through the enormous hull of the Death Egg. There are gravity changing devices, high-speed transport tubes, and even an engine room with buttons that you must turn all one colour in order to leave the chamber.

The bosses here, as to be expected, are difficult.

The first boss is a giant eye with rotating balls around its center. You have to wait for the balls to spin outward then get in the center... Jump up to hit the eye and at the height of your jump, hit jump again. You'll hit it. Do this eight times and the eye will separate from its metal base. At this point, get on the platforms spinning around it and attack the center until the platforms turn to fast. Then get away and watch for the laser coming from the bottom. Hit another eight times to win.

The second boss is self defeating, as long as you know what you're doing. It is a floating ball that resembles the Death Egg. It drops crawling bombs. When you have one almost lined up, go into the teleporter and gravity will switch, causing the bombs to hit the boss. Do this eight times to win.

There is a third boss, a massive robot similar somewhat to that in the Sonic 2 version of Death Egg Zone, that is listed in the level select as "Doomsday Zone 2", but is actually part of Death Egg. The first part is merely smashing his fingers, in other words, the robot will try and smash you with its hands. You must destroy all of it's fingers to get past. The next part is a bit more difficult, as the robot will destroy any floor it touches, so you have to run through the whole thing. The robot is behind you, and it will on occasion open up it's shell and use the Master Emerald to fire a beam at you. Immediately after is when you strike. After the beam gets fired, you have to jump and hit the thing that is holding the Master Emerald. The bot is still moving, and the thing will close quickly, so you have to be fast. It takes 8 times to do it. Finally, after that, Robotnik/Eggman will get out and get in his little pod and carry the Master Emerald. You must hit him 8 more times and then he will drop the Emerald and you will have beaten him!
