Recommended Team:

  • Sonic (Leader) & Tails (Partner): Sonic's speed for dodging and Homing Attack, Tails' flight for reaching the cockpit.

Phases & Strategy:

  1. Swinging Arm: The arm swings horizontally. Jump over it when it's low. When it swings high, jump onto the arm, then jump again to hit Eggman's cockpit.
  2. Shockwave: Occasionally, the arm slams down, creating a shockwave. Jump to avoid it.
  3. Projectiles: After a few hits, it fires small projectiles. Dodge these while continuing to attack the cockpit when exposed.

Weakness: Eggman's cockpit, exposed after arm swings or slams. Aim for 6-8 hits. Use Tails' Tag Action (L) for extra height if needed. Stay mobile and wait for openings.
