Heavy Rider


 * You may be looking for Eggrobo.

The Heavy Rider (ヘビーシノビ) is an antagonist that appears in Sonic Mania. She is an enhanced version of the Eggrobo created by Dr. Eggman who serves as a member of the Hard-Boiled Heavies.

Appearance
The Heavy Gunner has a similar design to an Eggrobo, but her color scheme is modeled after a knight attire much like her leader, the Heavy King, and utilizes a purple color scheme. She has a almost completely purple body with grey spikes on her chest and a head piece sticking upwards much like Heavy King. Her lower knee areas also has spikes on all four sides. Her Motobug companion, Jimmy, is exactly the same in design to a normal Mutobug aside from the swirly eyes and somewhat bigger build.

Overview
In the gameplay of Sonic Mania, the Heavy Rider serves as a boss in Lava Reef Zone Act 2 if the player has selected Sonic or Tails.

Trivia

 * Oddily enough, the Heavy Rider's spiked flail is designed like the spiked balls seen in Marble Garden Zone and Lava Reef Zone while in official art, The flail has a more plain design.
