Egg Albatross

The Egg Albatross is the fourth boss in Sonic Heroes and is the boss of Bullet Station. It is a ship with the Egg Hawk on top. The player must destroy key weapons on the Albatross to destroy it.

The first phase deals with the undercarriage of the ship, which contains Egg Pawn gunners, a frontal cannon, and four blasters that emit projectiles like those of the turtle robots from Grand Metropolis. After destroying one of the wings, both wings fall off. After that, the ship becomes a blimp barely floating above the ground, with many cannons on each side. The rotor is the only safe place to attack it in this form. Once the main engine has been destroyed, the Egg Hawk will begin to flee. This part of the fight is made more difficult by the fact that the Egg Hawk never stops to land. A Team Blast will be effective at this point. After the fight, all teams find that the Eggman piloting the contraption was a fake. Each team then progresses to Frog Forest. When either Team Sonic or Team Dark runs away, the Eggman fake melts into silver liquid and reforms revealing to really be Neo Metal Sonic.

Trivia

 * Strangely, the Egg Albatross looks like the Escape Blimp in Bonanza Bros., only here it is gold, has spikes and other add-ons that the Escape Blimp doesn't have.
 * The music for this battle reappears in Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing, as it plays during Doctor Eggman's All-Star Move, "Missile Madness".
