Captain Jelly


 * Not to be confused with Admiral Jelly.

Captain Jelly (キャンディーバード Candybeard) is the Sweet Mountain boss in Sonic Colors. It resembles a pirate with a lollipop as his "sword".

Wii
The fight begins with Sonic at the front of a candied pirate ship, and he needs to get past a long row of cannons shooting cannonballs to the back of the ship to Homing Attack a switch, which almost causes the ship to crash. The battle seems too easy, but then Captain Jelly shows himself. Sonic jumps off the ship, and Captain Jelly follows with a crew of bouncy rubber crewmates, which luckily are harmless. If Sonic obtained a Yellow Wisp from the cannonballs on the ship, he can use it once you are on the ground. The Yellow Wisp allows Sonic to drill into the ground and attack Captain Jelly from underneath. Wisps cause double damage, and this makes it possible to kill Captain Jelly with only 2 hits as opposed to 3 or 4 with a Homing Attack.

DS
Sonic fights the boss on normal ground. In the fight, the player can use the Red Burst, but this is optional. The attack patterns of the boss is simple but in order to hit him, you need to attack his crewmates by boosting at them. Once his down, his core on his head will be shown and that's a chance to hit him. Be careful from the cannonballs of his ship that attacks you from your position. Using the Red Burst can do double damage and burns the C. Jelly for a few seconds. When his health runs low, he will summon a bunch of his crewmates to form a stacked wall to crush Sonic.

Trivia

 * The crewmates that jump off the ship with Captain Jelly are harmless, but they are possible targets for Homing Attacks, and will protect Captain Jelly by sacrificing themselves.
 * Yellow Wisps can be obtained by using a Homing Attack on a pink cannonball.
 * Cannonballs are targets for Homing Attacks, but if a glowing cannonball is touched, or even attacked, it will harm Sonic.
 * Speed isn't everything: if Sonic chooses to drill into the ground beneath Captain Jelly, then staying underground and destroying Moles will increase the player's score and the possibility of an S-Rank.
