Carnival Night Zone Bosses

Mini-Boss: Top Mobile

  • Location: Carnival Night Zone Act 1
  • Description: A spinning robot that moves back and forth.
  • Attack Pattern: Moves horizontally, occasionally spinning rapidly and dropping smaller spinning tops.
  • Strategy: Attack the Top Mobile when it's not spinning rapidly. Wait for it to slow down, then jump and hit its top. Be careful of the smaller tops it drops, as they can damage you. Three to four hits will destroy it. The Flame Shield's double jump can help you reach its top more easily.
  • Weakness: Top when not spinning rapidly.
  • Reward: Clear path to the next section.

Boss: Egg Mobile (Bumper)

  • Location: Carnival Night Zone Act 2
  • Description: Dr. Robotnik in a large, bouncing machine that fires lasers.
  • Attack Pattern: Bounces around the arena, occasionally settling to fire lasers horizontally.
  • Strategy: The arena is small, making evasion tricky. Attack Robotnik when he is not bouncing or firing. Wait for him to settle, then jump and hit his cockpit. Be careful of the lasers he fires, as they can be difficult to avoid. Seven to eight hits will defeat him.
  • Weakness: Robotnik's cockpit when exposed.
  • Reward: Progress to IceCap Zone.
