For the boss that appears in Act 1, see Doctor Robotnik’s Flame Craft (Angel Island Zone Act 1).

Doctor Robotnik’s Flame Craft[1] (フレイムモービル Fureimu Mōbiru?, lit. "Flame Mobile") is the first regular boss in Sonic the Hedgehog 3. The player encounters it at the end of Angel Island Zone Act 2. It takes eight hits to be destroyed.

The Flame Craft is a vehicle piloted by Dr. Robotnik (or by EggRobo if the player is using Knuckles in the locked-on game), that can fly around in mid-air much like the Egg Mobile. Like Fire Breath, it is dark blue in color, bulky, and is fitted with two aim-able weapons on either side that shoot fireballs across the screen. It also has a small orange dome at the bottom of the mobile.

Battle

The Flame Craft first appears moments after Sonic and Tails outrun the bombs dropped by the Flying Battery. It flies past the player in the stage's background, before disappearing behind a huge waterfall. When Sonic crosses a wooden bridge, the Flame Craft emerges through the waterfall and drops a fireball on the bridge, destroying it. The player is able to fall into a bottomless pit if the playable character is standing on the bridge when it is destroyed.

The Flame Craft will then disappear behind the waterfall, becoming impossible for Sonic to hit, and emerge again in a new location to fire its weapons at Sonic again. Robotnik will move in certain patterns, either to the far right, upper left corner or left side. Robotnik will fire two fireballs each time it emerges, and Sonic will only be able to use the Spin Attack on it again during those times. After eight hits, the Flame Craft will be destroyed, and the floating Capsule will lower from the top of the screen. Opening the Capsule ends the level, after which the player will move on to Hydrocity Zone after Knuckles destroys the second bridge.

When playing as Knuckles in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles, the player enters the arena from a different pathway. EggRobo is seen piloting the vehicle using a similar pattern of attack, but is able to fire four fireballs at one time. After landing eight hits on the vehicle, opening the capsule and clearing the Zone, Knuckles will hop from the waterfall and the game will progress to Hydrocity Zone.
