Boss: Egg Emperor
Game of Origin: Sonic Heroes (2003)
What does the boss do?
-Lance Slash: Eggman slashes both horizontally and vertically. The horizontal ones travel somewhat fast and home in on the player (12% each, small knockback) while the vertical ones travel slightly slower and don’t home in (14% each, OK knockback)
-Egg Rockets: Eggman fires about 5-7 rockets at the platform (15% each, OK knockback) that are telegraphed by red crosshairs on the ground
-Shield Charge: Eggman swoops into the background and rams into the targeted area with great speed and force (38%, far knockback and can even screen K.O. you if your damage is high enough)
-Egg Fleet Cannons: The Egg Fleet fires four cannons-one at a time-downwards to the area indicated by a red crosshair. They will hit the player multiple times until they explode (5-7% each hit, 41% total, far knockback)
-Shoulder Platforms (based off the ones on the Egg Viper): Eggman ejects two spiked shoulder pads off the Emperor’s shoulders and pushes them towards you, depending on which direction he’s facing. The spikes on the bottom of the pads (14% each, OK knockback) need to be jumped over when they slide over the pad you’re standing on. Alternatively, flames will disperse from the spike-less sides (15% each, OK knockback) when you stand on the for too long. When you fall off the platforms and back on the ground, they go back to Eggman’s shoulders.
-Klagen Storm: Eggman sends in four Klagens of two types: the purple one drops bombs (16% each, OK knockback) and clings to the player to the blast zone if they don’t escape. The green ones generate an electric shield to protect themselves as they ram into the player (14%, OK knockback)
Strategy: Eggman doesn’t use some of these attacks very frequently, but when he DOES is a good time to dodge. Jumping onto and off of the Shoulder Platforms and hitting Eggman with a strong enough attack will cancel out the attack instantly.
Setting/Intro: The Egg Fleet, the final level of Sonic Heroes. The fight takes place on a giant platform with wheels that move along a circular rail ring. Eggman appears into the Emperor’s lower half in his Egg Mobile. The top half comes down and Eggman gets into his fighter stance.
Defeat: The Egg Emperor explodes and Eggman retreats on the Egg Mobile.
