Veg-O Machine

The Veg-O Machine is the third boss that has appeared in Sonic the Hedgehog Spinball. It takes place to the highest point of The Machine. In 8-bit version of the game, the boss is slightly identical, but takes place to the separated pinball arena.

It is large robot making machine created by Dr. Robotnik. It has visible dome on top of the machine with Robotnik's face on it and is connected to two upper corner pipes, which send animals to the purple machine. The blue glass dome on the center shows animals being roboticized and sent out from bottom hatch. When the player destroys the Veg-O Machine, it will affect and start the destruction of the whole Veg-O-Fortress.

Overview
The player enters the Veg-O Machine room from two transport tubes. The player discovers Cluckbird, Krondor and Buster badniks from the hatch of the machine, which can block routes to side parts of the Veg-O Machine. When the player manages to reach to the side, Sonic has to spin into side pipes of the machine by using electronic fence to being bounced. By doing ten hits to each side pipe, the player breaks them off and animals get freed.

As the Veg-O Machine is unable to mass product badniks and the player is able to enter the bottom hatch of the machine. Being launched to the hatch can be accurate, but after getting in, Sonic will be making the Veg-O Machine overheating. After huge amount of hits, the machine gets destroyed and the player clears The Machine. At the bottom of the pinball arena and below flippers, there are three transport tubes, the left one sends the player back to the animal prison, the center one launches back to the Veg-O Machine room and the third sends the player back to the right side of The Machine stage. When the player activates two targets on side ceilings the electric surge gets activated. After activating targets and falling to the electric surge, the player can control surge and send Sonic to the center transport tube and being able to return to the Veg-O Machine room.
