Mystic Cave Zone

Instruction Manual Description

Robotnik's been digging for chaos emeralds in the eerie cave of flickering lights, glow-worms and stinging centipedes. Hang on to the ivy to discover escape routes.

Villains

Enemies

• Crawlton - Centipede enemy, fixed to the wall and extends to attack Sonic when he approaches.
• Flasher - Firefly enemy, moves around slowly and is invincible when flashing. Referred to as "Frasher" in Sonic Jam, which is Engrish for "Flasher".

Boss

• Boss: Dr. Robotnik's Drilling Machine
• Hits: 8

Another extraordinarily easy boss (in my opinion at least). Robotnik's in another Drill Car, but this time it actually drills. What do I mean you ask? Well, Robotnik will drive forward a littleways, allowing you to attack him, then he'll rise up and drill through the ceiling. Upon doing this, Robotnik unleashes a storm of pointy objects that rain down you. Simply avoid these objects and hit Robotnik when he descends from the ceiling.
