The '''Egg Saucer''' (エッグソーサー) is the boss of <i>[[Sonic Advance 2]]</i>'s [[Sky Canyon]]. And what a boss it is. Robotnik, a laser-shooting mech, and a hand are spinning around on a wheel. The goal is to hit the laser-shooting mech until it breaks, then hit Robotnik until it breaks. But watch for the hand -- if it hits you, you lose rings; if it grabs you, it counts as a crush and you lose a life. Oh and Robotnik is on a platform with spikes on the bottom, but that shouldn't be a problem. Beat this boss and an oil-covered [[Knuckles]] comes out (and you get him as a character to play as).

Game: Sonic Advance 2
Level: Sky Canyon
Hits to defeat: 8 (Normal) / 6 (Easy)

The Egg Saucer (エッグソーサー Eggu Sōsā) is the fifth boss of Sonic Advance 2, fought in Sky Canyon, and what a boss it is. The first time you get to this one as Sonic, Knuckles (who was again tricked by Eggman this time) is driving it.

Eggman/Knuckles, a laser-shooting mech, and a hand are spinning around on a wheel. The goal is to hit the laser-shooting mech until it breaks (takes 3 hits on Normal, 1 on Easy), then hit Eggman/Knuckles until it breaks. But watch for the hand -- if it hits you, it counts as a crush and you lose a life; if you touch it after it has already tried to smash you, you'll lose your rings. Eggman/Knuckles is on a platform with spikes on the bottom, but these shouldn't be a problem if you know how to move. If the laser is destroyed, the hand becomes more erratic.

After defeating this boss for the first time with Sonic, an oil-covered Knuckles comes out. The level ends, and a cutscene starts to play: Sonic quickly understands that Eggman had tricked Knuckles again, and the echidna feels really ashamed for this. Sonic then continues on his way, leaving Knuckles behind (who right then becomes a playable character).
