Boss Guide
When the player arrives on top of the mountains in Red Volcano Zone Act 3, the player will need to jump into a flying platform. The platform will then move the player upward until it reach the battle area where it will then cover the moves the player makes to prevent Sonic or Knuckles from falling off-screen. Robotnik will then appear at the right of the screen where once he'll be at the maximum height, he'll use his wrecking ball in a diagonal pattern (toward the lower-left part of the screen) and maintain it to its furthest range until he fall off-screen. Robotnik will then reappear from the left side of the arena, restarting the whole process over again (albeit from the opposite position each time) until he is defeated.

This boss needs to be hit eight times. However, these hits must be dealt precisely into the protective glass cover of the Red Volcano Zone boss. Trying to hit this boss vehicle from any other spot will simply bounce the player back without dealing any damage.

After being defeated, the Red Volcano Zone boss will blow up before disappearing in a flash of white, clearing the Act.
