Stats / Weaknesses:

• Toxomister is a large, mechanical boss.
• It is vulnerable to direct attacks on its main body.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Toxomister moves around the arena, firing projectiles. The player must dodge these attacks and find openings to strike.
2. Phase 2: Toxomister may introduce new attack patterns or increase the speed of existing ones. Continued evasion and well-timed attacks are key.

• Jump and attack when an opening presents itself.
• If playing with Tails, utilize his abilities to assist in evasion or attack.
• Collect rings whenever possible to maintain a buffer against damage.
• If you have a shield, use it to absorb one hit, but be aware of its loss.
