Egg King



The Egg King is the final boss of Sonic Rush fought at Unknown.

This robot bears no official name, but has a variety of attacks, such as slamming it's stub-like fists into the falling arena. The player must dodge these hits and shockwaves or take damage. The arms must be knocked back to cause Eggman/Eggman Nega to go to one side of the ring and start "punching" the arena, sending out various shockwaves. when the arm gets stuck, the player must continue up the arm and attack the cockpit where Eggman/Eggman Nega pilot the bot. However, the pilot of the robot will try to shake their opponent off before the player reaches the cockpit, so they must hold on to avoid being knocked off. After long, the robot slams both of its two fists onto the arena. A hit like this causes an instant death, however, this can be slammed back like a normal hit, a long as the fists do not directly contact the player. As the battle transgresses, the Egg King will begin firing cube-like objects at the arena that send out an electrical shockwave, and once in a while, a continous wave that takes patience and percise movements to avoid. The Egg King will also fire lasers from its mouth that the player must avoid. The player again waits for the robot to slam its fists into the arena, sometimes at such a fast rate that it is almost impossible to retaliate. When the player finally lands a hit, Eggman/Eggman Nega within the Egg King gets furious and determined to destroy their enemy for good. The Egg King will then attempt to destroy the platform by slamming into it three times. The player must jump on its head again after its third time to finally stop the Egg King, which Eggman/Eggman Nega were too angry to realize. The ending cutscene plays afterward.

Trivia

 * It is likely that Eggman/Eggman Nega knew this robot may fail, so it is possible that they escaped before the destruction of this robot, to pilot the Egg Salamander.
 * It is possible that this robot was inspiration to the Egg Dragoon from Sonic Unleashed as the battle took place on a falling platform, that is broken as the battle goes on.
