The Egg Mobile-H2 is a powerful mech that attacks with homing missiles and a large laser. The arena is a small, confined space with limited platforms.
Phase 1: Missile Barrage & Laser Sweep
Eggman's mech will fly around the top of the screen, occasionally swooping down to fire homing missiles or sweep the arena with a laser. The missiles track your position, so keep moving. The laser sweep requires you to jump over it. Your target is the cockpit, which is exposed when he swoops down or pauses after an attack. Sonic's Homing Attack is crucial for hitting him as he flies by. Tails' flight makes this fight significantly easier, allowing him to stay airborne and hit Eggman consistently. Knuckles can glide to him when he swoops down. Amy needs to time her Hammer Jump to reach him. The key is to constantly move, dodge the missiles, and anticipate the laser sweep while looking for openings to strike. This boss is a test of aerial combat and dodging. It takes about 16-18 hits to defeat.
