Learn how to beat Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, including strategies for his lava and mine attacks, and how to enter Hidden Palace Zone.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When Robotnik appears, he will tilt the lava in his direction.
  2. 2
    If you have collected the Flame Shield, go left and hop across the platforms to avoid sliding into Robotnik.
  3. 3
    When Robotnik launches 3 mines, jump on the platforms to dodge them.
  4. 4
    The 3 mines will hit Robotnik one after another.
  5. 5
    When Robotnik sinks into the lava, he will emerge in the opposite direction and repeat his attack pattern.
  6. 6
    When a Prison Egg starts to descend from above, be aware of the lava that is still around you.
  7. 7
    Wait for the Prison Egg to reach your jumping distance first.
  8. 8
    Once it is at a reasonable height, jump up to hit its plunger.
  9. 9
    After the lava freezes over once again, you can safely go across it and enter Hidden Palace Zone.
Tips
  • If you get hit by Robotnik's mines, you will lose the Flame Shield, making this Boss Battle harder to win.
  • If you fall into the lava by mistake, you will lose your Rings or lose a life.
