Description[]

Appearance[]

Resembling the Egg Mobile, this vehicle is a round hover pod with a transparent glass dome on top and a cockpit within it that features a two-handled steering wheel. Its lower half is covered in gray metal and has yellow and black hazard stripes on the sides and front, a headlamp on its front, and downward-aimed rocket thrusters on the sides. Around the edges of this vehicle are also eight spherical gray snowblowers with yellow and black hazard stripes and tiny nozzles. Also, on the undercarriage of this vehicle is a wide gray nozzle.

Features and abilities[]

In addition to being capable of flight, this vehicle is equipped with snowblowers that can spew winds that instantly freeze those that touch them. It is also capable of deploying explosive snowmen from its bottom nozzle.

History[]

Sonic 3D Blast[]

In Sonic 3D Blast, Dr. Robotnik used this vehicle to battle Sonic the Hedgehog in Diamond Dust Zone. However, Robotnik's plans to put Sonic on ice did not come to fruition, as Sonic destroyed his vehicle, thus forcing Robotnik to escape.

Battle[]

The Diamond Dust Zone boss is the fourth boss of Sonic 3D Blast. It is fought in Diamond Dust Zone Act 3 with Sonic the Hedgehog.

Boss guide[]

This boss battle takes place in an octagonal, flat arena. Before it starts though, the player has a few seconds to prepare by collecting nearby Rings. Use them wisely however, as they do not respawn. Once the time runs out, Dr. Robotnik arrives in the arena and the fight begins.

During the fight, Robotnik's vehicle will move above the arena. At the very beginning of the fight, Robotnik does so just above the surface of the arena, but after a few seconds, he will rise to a height that makes it impossible for Sonic to reach him. Every now and then however, Robotnik's vehicle will stop for a moment and eject an exploding snowman from its bottom nozzle, which will activate after being approached by Sonic. After the snowman is dropped, Robotnik will then begin to descend and activate his snowblowers. While flying over the surface of the arena, Robotnik will try to freeze Sonic with his icy exhausts. After a few seconds however, the attack will stop and Robotnik will rise into the air again, and the cycle will repeat itself.

In order to hit this boss, the player has to wait for Robotnik to descend in order to attack with his snowblowers. When he does attack, jump over the gusts and hit the vehicle's cockpit with the Spin Jump. Sonic can also hit the snowmen to jump higher, but he will take damage if he hits Robotnik underneath his vehicle. With each hit, one snowblower is destroyed, but the vehicle will also move faster. When all eight snowblowers are destroyed, Robotnik's vehicle will start exploding and the fight will end, along with Diamond Dust Act 3.
