Learn how to defeat Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 by avoiding his water suction and using bomb explosions for a strategic advantage.
When Robotnik appears, he will position his machine over the water and create a water suction around it. You will be pulled towards the water, so run in the opposite direction to avoid getting hurt. When Robotnik releases the water, you can jump on it and hit him. It is advised to wait for him to drop a few bombs on the floor. If you jump on top of them as they explode, the impact will catapult you upwards. If you time it correctly, you can hit Robotnik and bounce off him. Your best bet is to position Sonic/Tails underneath Robotnik, so you will be catapulted upwards and you will hit him at the same time.
Once you have opened the Prison Egg, a burst of water will catapult you into Marble Garden Zone.
- Position Sonic/Tails underneath Robotnik to maximize the upward catapulting effect from bomb explosions.
- Wait for Robotnik to drop several bombs before attempting to use them for a boost.
