Metallic Madness Zone Mini-Boss (Sonic Mania)

Metallic Madness Zone Mini-Boss (Sonic Mania)
Game: Sonic Mania
Level: [[Metallic Madness Zone]]
Hits to defeat: 8

Upon reaching the end of Act 1 of Metallic Madness Zone, Sonic is confronted by Dr. Eggman in a machine very similar to the Final Zone Boss from the original Sonic the Hedgehog. The machine consists of five pistons, two of which are on the edges of the room (preventing Sonic from hiding from them there as in the original fight) and a lightbulb-like generator that fires damaging ball lightning. Eggman attacks by trying to crush the player with a random pair of the pistons; Eggman himself will be in one of the pistons, and the machine will take damage if the player hits the doctor. In between piston sessions, the generator will produce four ball lightning orbs that will descend while slowly drifting towards the player. Dealing four hits will cause the machine to partially explode and destroy the generator, causing the screen to flash red; the pistons now begin to fire individually in quick, random succession (again with Eggman standing in a random piston). Landing another four hits destroys the machine completely and ends the fight, allowing the player to finish Act 1.
