Dive Eggman
Game: Sonic Mania
Level: [[Hydrocity Zone]]
Hits to defeat: 4

Dive Eggman is the seventh mini-boss encountered in Sonic Mania. The player confronts it at the end of Hydrocity Zone Act 1.

Defeat Strategy

Yeah, looks like the roles have now reversed! This time the player gets to use the Screw Mobile boss machine from the original Hydrocity Zone Act 2 to attack Dr. Eggman.

Eggman will swim about in the pool of water in a wetsuit, and the player has to damage him by sucking him out of the water using the impeller on the Screw Mobile by holding any of the Jump buttons. He will try to swim away from the plume the player makes, but once sucked into the plume he's helpless unless the player lets go of the button. Eggman will also try to defend himself by placing bombs that can be sucked up by mistake, and will hurt the player should they make contact with the Screw Mobile. The player can destroy the bombs by pressing to drop depth charges onto them, though they will not do anything to Eggman.

Once Eggman has been hit by the impeller four times, his wetsuit will be destroyed, and the player can then hover to the right to finish Act 1.
