Final Showdown Boss


 * For the final boss in Showdown in the the 16-bit version of Sonic the Hedgehog Spinball, see here.

Robotnik's Ship is the final boss in 8-bit version of Sonic the Hedgehog Spinball. As many other bosses in the game, Robotnik's Ship is completely separated pinball arena, where the player can enter after collecting five Chaos Emeralds from Final Showdown.

Just like the first boss in this version of the game, the final boss is completely different. Doctor Robotnik is seen hovering around at the higher part of the pinball arena on the very basic mobile with two motor engines and powerful barrier to hit the mobile regularly.

Overview
When the player enters the separated pinball arena, Sonic has utilize flippers and wheel-like bumpers to reach higher part of the arena, where Robotnik on his mobile is seen hovering around with powerful barrier. The barrier is powered by two generators on each side of the room. The player is unable to hit on him normally and has to be eradicated by simply running along four valves with pair of them set on each side. After generators have been shut down and valves got destroyed, the player has to do eight hits on the mobile to finish the game.

Robotnik's moving pattern is heavily erratic, as normally moving up and down, but sometimes he can move sideways. However if the player manages to fall down from the separated boss pinball arena, Sonic has to climb up back to the arena, run along four valves and repeat the same pattern. In the boss arena, each closed valve grants the player 25,000 points and collision parts grants 10,000 points. Defeating the boss itself gives 10,000,000 points for the player.
