Master the challenging Part 14 boss battle in Sonic Rush! Learn strategies for dodging lasers, electrical attacks, and shaking hazards to defeat the robot.
Walkthrough
- 1After the last energy blast, jump toward the blinking hand.
- 2When the word "go" appears, run up the robot's arm.
- 3When the arm shakes and the down symbol appears, press down to hold on.
- 4Continue up the arm and hit the blinking head.
- 5If thrown off, you have one more chance to get back up. Hurry to hit the head.
Phases & Attacks:
- 8-7 Hits Left: Three green energy blasts precede an opportunity to hit the boss.
- When the robot lifts both arms and Eggman says "Take this!": Hands come down one at a time, producing shockwaves. Duck them, then jump over the shockwave. Hit the blinking hand when it stays down.
- When the robot lifts both arms, leans back, and Eggman says "Get ready to be schooled!": An instantly lethal attack. Stand at the edge of the platform, move right before it attacks, then jump to avoid shockwaves and hit the blinking hands on the ground.
- 6 Hits Left: Similar to above, but with 3-4 green energy blasts before hitting the boss. You may need to press down on the arm to avoid being thrown off.
- 5-4 Hits Left: The first attack speeds up. When the robot moves to the side, dodge 5 (or 4) faster green energy blasts. Metal things start rolling down the arm (Normal Mode only); reach the head before being shaken off.
- Robot crosses arms and says "Take This!" (Laser Attack): Fire on the ground can hurt you. Jump over the lasers. Variations include Random Laser (run and jump across the platform) and Sweeping Laser (jump back and forth). Standing at the very edge of the platform can help avoid lasers moving away from you.
- 3-2 Hits Left: You have just enough time to hit the head (Normal Mode). If you need to press down, do so at the robot's elbow.
- Robot hits hands together twice and Eggman says "He he!" (Electric Attack): Electrical arcs come from floating metal things. Transparent arcs can be walked through.
- One metal thing: Trapped between two slowly moving, resizing arcs. Start at the edge and move with the changing space.
- More than one metal thing: Multi-attack. Start near the edge and slowly walk away, maintaining a steady pace.
Easy Mode Differences:
- Metal things never roll down the arm.
- At 4-2 Hits Left, you must stop on the arm before it shakes you off.
Tips
- Pressing down at the robot's white elbow joint can help avoid metal things rolling down the arm.
- Jumping can also hit the metal things.
- For the laser attack, running and jumping as soon as the attack is indicated is often best.
- For the electric attack, starting near the edge and slowly walking away with a steady pace is recommended.
