Defeat EggRobo's Spiked Swinging Machine in Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Learn the strategy for this 8-hit boss battle.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Follow the path until a platform begins ascending.
  2. 2
    Keep running on the platform until you reach the final spikes.
  3. 3
    The platform will stop rising, and EggRobo will appear in the center of the screen.
  4. 4
    EggRobo unleashes a laser machine similar to Sonic 2's Wing Fortress Zone Boss.
  5. 5
    You cannot destroy this machine directly; it must destroy itself.
  6. 6
    Each time the machine fires a laser, it damages itself and causes the room to cave in.
  7. 7
    If you have a Lightning/Water Shield, hitting the machine will have no effect.
  8. 8
    Eventually, the machine will explode, and EggRobo will run off.
Tips
  • The boss sprite shown is Robotnik's, but you are fighting EggRobo.
  • Sonic Team apparently did not replace Robotnik's sprite with EggRobo's due to potential programming difficulty with EggRobo's sprite for this boss, which has a different sprite than all others.
