The Egg Pawn Rangers is a boss encountered in Sonic Rumble's bi-weekly co-op battle mode. They can be fought during the "Vs. Egg Pawn Rangers" event.
Overview[]
The battle takes place on circular platforms that are connected to each-other by bridges. In the empty spaces, there are balloons that the player can break to use as a shortcut to reach distant platforms. These are numbered in 4 rows and 4 columns, The 32 players must defeat the five Egg Pawn Rangers under 5 minutes by attacking them with the Attack power-up, granted by either opening an Item Capsule holding the ability or destroying any Badnik in the area. Each player will start with 1,000 Rings, if they run out of them they will be eliminated, and if the time runs out all the players will lose. There will be balloons, Badniks (summoned by bosses), and golden chests all over the map that will grant the player Rings and Attack power-ups.
There is also a small chance of facing the "Elite Egg Pawn Rangers", which is the same boss but with greater damage in the Rangers attacks.
The boss is divided into two phases, the first on the main stage and the second on a larger platform that is above the others.
First phase[]
The Egg Pawn Rangers will be located on a random platform away from the players. When they get close to them they will start using their attacks to damage players, but they cannot leave their platform to pursue players. When they have 70% health left, they will teleport to another platform that another Ranger is not currently located in. And when a boss only has 30% health left, it will teleport to a platform above the map inaccessible to player.
Second phase[]
When all the bosses had been teleported to the top platform, a Spring will appear on all platforms to propel the player towards the platform with all the Egg Pawns Rangers reunited, in this phase is where the mini-boss can finally be defeated. At the end of the mode, whether all the bosses have been defeated or not, the 3 players who contributed the most to defeat the bosses will appear on the end result screen from third to first.
Abilities and attacks[]
Although each Ranger has their own unique attacks, they all share two in common. First, they occasionally activate a shield that protects the Egg Pawn Ranger; if the player touches it, they’ll lose 20 rings or 40 if it’s an Elite Pawn Ranger. Second, all Rangers can summon a horde of a single type of Badnik and teleport when their health is low. Their attacks can remove between 80 and 150 rings, while Elite variants remove between 90 and 220 rings.
