Egg Golem
Game: Sonic & Knuckles
Hits to defeat: 8

The Egg Golem (エッグゴーレム) found at the end of Sandopolis Zone Act 2 is another off the wall boss—literally. The boss is a huge orange brick statue that emerges from the right wall and lumbers forward slowly, alternately extending his two stone arms. One is in the background and one is in the foreground. When the one in the foreground extends jump onto it (you can't stand on the one in the background or be hurt by it). Being careful not to touch the spikes on the end of the arm or on the robot's chest, jump and hit it above the spikes.

The tricky part of this battle is hitting the boss and landing back on his arm without touching the spikes. It takes practice. When you hit Robotnik, the bricks fly away, revealing Robotnik's cockpit. Hit that as many times as you can (in practice about twice) before the bricks come back, then repeat the pattern. If you're bold you can hit him several times on one extension of the arm. The machine is slowly advancing and eventually will crush you against the left wall, but you'd have to be really slow for that to happen. Sometimes the laser eye at the top of the statue powers up; I'd ignore it and hit the bricks since that will deactivate it, but if you don't hit it quickly, it'll fire a laser beam down at you. Be sure to always hit the bricks from the arm as you can't reach them from the floor. Eight hits to Robotnik's cockpit does him in.
