After Gemerl's first humiliating defeat, you'll face Dr. Eggman's third hammer-based contraption of the Advance series (the first being the [[Egghammertank]] of [[Neo Green Hill]], the [[Egghammertank II]] of [[Leaf Forest]] being the second). Eggman attempts to whack you with an alternating series of left and right hammer strikes. Stand on the base on his machine, and he'll crush you. Defeat Eggman by tempting him with a close-range thwack and move to the outside of the arena before he connects. Now Eggman's cockpit will be in easy reach of an attack. Repeat this 7 more times (5 if you're playing the underwhelming Easy game). Eggman will flee and you'll be spirited away to the orange landscape that is Sunset Hill.

Dangers included badniks, spike pits, death by crushing, and a brief bottomless pit near the end of Act I.

The boss stage features two fights. First, you're pitted against Gemerl. He simply moves left to right and back again across the screen, and can be defeated by attacking him 4 times (or twice on the game's Easy setting).

After Gemerl's defeat, you'll face the first Eggman boss of the game. Eggman attempts to whack you with an alternating series of left and right hammer strikes. Stand on the base on his machine, and he'll crush you. Defeat Eggman by tempting him with a close-range smash and move to the outside of the arena before he connects.
