Dohyo Master is a sumo wrestler-like pig robot that tries to beat Sonic at his own game with rolling attacks.


— Description, Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclo-speed-ia

Dohyo Master[1] (メカブタ[2] Mekabuta?, lit. "Mecha Pig") is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a Master Robot created by Dr. Robotnik, who used it during the Master Robot incident.

Appearance[]

Dohyo Master is a Master Robot based on an anthropomorphic pig in sumo attire. It is constructed mostly of orange colored metal. Its "legs" are silver. On its face, it wears a dark red/brown mask that reveals its eyes. Lastly, it wears a blue and yellow/lavender ribbon that runs down its waist.

History[]

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (8-bit)[]

In Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (8-bit), Dr. Robotnik created Dohyo Master in an attempt to destroy Sonic the Hedgehog in the Green Hills Zone. However, the robot was defeated as soon as he arrived.

Personality[]

Dohyo Master often has the habit of making sumo stomps after it attacks.

Powers and abilities[]

Dohyo Master is capable of doing an spinning technique similar to the Spin Attack. Also, it can levitate while doing this move.

Battle[]

Dohyo Master is the Master Robot of Green Hills Zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (8-bit) and the game's fourth overall boss. The player faces it as Sonic the Hedgehog.

Boss guide[]

The boss battle takes place on a grassy field with a dip in the middle. Dohyo Master will stand on either side of the dip and perform a sumo stomp and snort steam, after which it will curl into a ball. It will then move across the dip, either rolling down along the grass, or floating straight across the middle, or moving across the top of the screen in an arc. On the other side, it will uncurl to perform another sumo stomp, and this is when Sonic must attack.

After being hit a certain number of times, it will sometimes roll across the screen twice before uncurling.

After receiving eight hits, Dohyo Master will be destroyed, and the player will then be able to proceed to the Prison Egg and pass to the next Zone.
