Heavy King (boss)
Game: Sonic Mania
Level: [[Lava Reef Zone]]
Hits to defeat: 8

The Heavy King is a boss who appears in Sonic Mania, encountered at the end of Lava Reef Zone Act 2 when playing as Knuckles. He is the leader of the Hard-Boiled Heavies, who commands his elite troop with a watchful eye and a powerful scepter.

Upon being encountered by Knuckles, he will attempt to steal the Master Emerald, only for Knuckles to remember the time Dr. Eggman tried to steal it and stops him, engaging the boss fight.

Defeat Strategy

Similar to Super Mecha Sonic, the Heavy King will jump onto the Master Emerald to absorb its power, then he will hover around the shrine and unleash one of three attacks from his scepter:

  • Firing two lasers across the floor, emitting shockwaves that will hurt. Stand on high ground to avoid them.
  • Shielding himself in a barrier of energy orbs, then bouncing across the shrine, shooting the orbs directly at Knuckles. Keep moving to avoid this attack.
  • Firing a massive barrage of bullets around the shrine. Use the Super Emeralds as cover for this attack. Sometimes he may use this attack after firing a laser.

After attacking, the Heavy King will retreat to the Master Emerald to recharge for another attack, giving you a chance to land some hits on him. You can also hit him while he's hovering in the air after charging energy. Eight hits will force him to leave the shrine.
