Phantom Gunner

The Phantom Gunner is the Super State of Heavy Gunner in Sonic Mania. He attained this form upon gaining complete power from the Phantom Ruby.

Appearance
The Phantom Gunner still retains the police officer aesthetic, with his biggest difference now being the fact he is missing is appendages. Instead, the Phantom Gunner possesses a blue jetpack that contains missile ammunition.

History
During the climatic fight with the Phantom Egg, Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles will be transported to a different room where they will face the Phantom Gunner. The section only lasts briefly, though the Phantom Gunner will attempt to harm the trio during what seems to be their final fight with Dr. Eggman.

Powers and abilities
Though he is not invisible to Super State attacks, he does possess a giant rocket stash on his jetpack that will fire red and blue missiles. While the red missiles will burst on the floor and cause a flurry of fire to appear, the blue missiles can be hit with a Spin Attack that spring back at the Phantom Gunner.
