Ghost Pendulum

Pendulum is the second boss of Sonic Rush Adventure. He is the boss of the Machine Labyrinth stage. He was created by Eggman and Eggman Nega.

This boss is rather simple. Pendulum doesn't attack the player directly but uses the colored penulums (hence the name) to harm the player. Pendulum has three different colored pendulums (but starts out with one), the first is gray and is the smallest and lightest. After a few hits, a yellow pendulum will come out. The yellow is a bigger and a bit heavier and requires more hits to make it reach the head. Also, the bottom section of Pendulum will fall and create a shockwave which is rather easy to avoid. He may also send out a small robot (similiar to the one from Night Carnival from the first game) which is very easy to destroy. After a few more hits, a red pendulum will appear. The red pendulum is the bigget and heaviest, meaning that it requires more hits to make to reach the head. Halfway through the fight, the pendulums will get spikes that come out at random times (but it can be predicted by the pendulums flashing red) which can harm the player. When Pendulum's health is completely down, he'll fall, giving Sonic (or Blaze) a chance to hit a jewel on his head (his weak spot) directly. After the hit, Pendulum will explode.
