Star Light Zone boss



The Eggmobile is the boss of the Star Light Zone in Sonic the Hedgehog. It is piloted by Doctor Eggman and equipped with shoot on its underside that can drop mines. These mines will explode either on contact or after a short period of time.

The boss battle takes place in a flat arena with three see-saws on the ground. Eggman flies around the top of the screen, out of reach of Sonic's Spin Jump.

Rather than aiming to drop his mines on Sonic, Eggman will drop his mines into the ends of these see-saws. By jumping onto the opposite side of a see-saw that has a mine on it, Sonic can send the mines up to the top of the screen. If they strike the Eggmobile, they will explode, causing damage. Also, if Sonic is standing on a see-saw when a mine lands on the opposite side, Sonic himself will fly upwards, and can damage the Eggmobile himself.

Eight hits are required to defeat Eggman, after which Sonic can progress to the goal and open the Zone's Egg Capsule.
