The Egg Viper is a large, serpentine mech that flies around the arena, attacking with laser blasts and by ramming into platforms. This is a challenging fight that requires precise movement and timing.
Phase 1: Laser Blasts & Ramming Attacks
The Egg Viper will fly in and out of the background, firing multiple laser blasts that track your position. It will also occasionally ram into the platforms, destroying them temporarily or creating shockwaves. Your target is the head of the viper, where Eggman is located. You need to jump onto its body segments when it's close enough and then make your way to the head. Sonic's Homing Attack can be used to chain hits up the body. Tails' flight is incredibly useful for reaching the head directly and avoiding the laser blasts. Knuckles can glide onto the body and climb to the head. Amy needs to time her Hammer Jump to get onto the body segments. The arena has limited platforms, and they can be destroyed, so be mindful of your footing. Keep moving to avoid the lasers and ramming attacks. It takes about 18-20 hits to defeat.
