Heavy Gunner (boss)

Game: [[Sonic Mania]][[Category:Sonic Mania bosses]]
Level: [[Studiopolis Zone]] (mini-boss)
Hits to defeat: 4

Heavy Gunner is one of the Hard-Boiled Heavies and the third mini-boss encountered in Sonic Mania. The player confronts him at the end of Studiopolis Zone Act 1.

Defeat Strategy

Heavy Gunner is an auto-scrolling boss - both the boss and the player move constantly to the right. The Heavy Gunner flies at the top of the screen in a helicopter, rocket launcher in hand, accompanied by three Eggrobos. Heavy Gunner will fire waves of rockets at the player, consisting of two red rockets and one blue rocket. The player must avoid the red rockets and strike the blue ones, either by jumping or rolling into them. Upon hitting a blue rocket, the rocket will spin out of control and direct itself back toward the Heavy Gunner, causing him to fly offscreen and instead causing the rocket to hit one of the Eggrobos. This process must be repeated 3 more times. Upon hitting the final rocket, the Heavy Gunner will evacuate his helicopter and fly offscreen just before the rocket hits the helicopter and destroys it, ending the fight.
