Boss Battle: EggRobo's Water Suction Machine - 8 Hits

Strategy:

  • When the machine charges towards you, Spin Dash in the opposite direction to evade its attack.
  • After a while, the machine will connect itself to the pillar directly above you and start creating a whirlpool. Attack the machine now to destroy it.
  • If the machine takes off again, wait until it reconnects itself to the pillar before finishing it off.
Tips
  • Remember to use the Spin Dash ability frequently to break through walls and evade attacks.
  • Look for the Invinibility power-up in Act 2 for temporary protection.
  • Pay close attention to the environment, especially moving platforms and spikes.
  • The 1-Up replaces a feature from Sonic The Hedgehog 3, so be sure to grab it.
