The Egg Wizard (エッグウィザード Eggu Wizādo?) is the hidden true final boss of Sonic Rush Adventure. It is a giant wizard-theme mech that was used by Dr. Eggman and Eggman Nega to harness the Power of the Stars with the Jeweled Scepter. However, it was destroyed by Super Sonic and Burning Blaze.
Description[]
Powers and abilities[]
With the Power of the Stars-infused Jeweled Scepter in its possession, the Egg Wizard is one of the most powerful robots ever used by Dr. Eggman and Eggman Nega (along with the Egg Salamander). Its power surpasses both the Chaos Emeralds and Sol Emeralds', and just a fraction of it could destroy Blaze's entire kingdom.[1][2] Super Sonic even stated that he and Burning Blaze had no chance against the Egg Wizard on their own.[3] The sheer force of its power can create earthquakes and when channeled, it can destroy entire planets.
On its own, the Egg Wizard is capable of flight at speeds matching that of Super Sonic and Burning Blaze. It can also launch excessively large missiles and restore itself at will.
Equipment[]
During its battle in Deep Core, the Egg Wizard wielded the Jeweled Scepter, an ancient scepter capable of tapping into the Power of the Stars, which is the source of the mech's strength. With it, the Egg Wizard can perform magical-based attacks. These include projecting fire orbs of varying intensity, conjuring up explosive dragon-based homing projectiles made of fire, generate electrical balls that can turn into beams with enough strength to paralyze even a Super State user, and summon meteors. Its ultimate attack however, is its "Planet-Buster Laser", a large energy blast which can destroy a whole planet.
History[]
Sonic Rush Adventure[]
The Egg Wizard was used by Dr. Eggman and Eggman Nega to appear before Sonic, Blaze, Tails and Marine on Southern Island after the doctors stole the Jeweled Scepter. Announcing themselves as the masterminds behind Captain Whisker and the previous theft of the Jeweled Scepter, the doctors headed underground in the Egg Wizard to unlock the Power of the Stars to create a multidimensional Eggmanland across Sonic's world and Blaze's world.
Having the Egg Wizard wield the Jeweled Scepter, the doctors infused the mech with the Power of the Stars, increasing its power immeasurably. As Eggman Nega boasted that he would destroy Blaze's kingdom with this power, Sonic and Blaze transformed into Super Sonic and Burning Blaze with the Chaos Emeralds and Sol Emeralds, and engaged the Egg Wizard. As the Egg Wizard stood to lose, Eggman Nega, in a fit of madness, tried using its "Planet-Buster Laser" on Sonic and Blaze. However, he was distracted by a blast from Marine, allowing Sonic and Blaze to counterattack, with Sonic landing the blow that blew up the Egg Wizard.
Battle[]
The Egg Wizard is the boss of Deep Core, as well as being the ninth and true final boss of Sonic Rush Adventure. It is fought by Super Sonic and Burning Blaze.
Boss guide[]
The first section has the Egg Wizard flying away and Super Sonic and Burning Blaze must catch up, collect a decent number of Rings to sustain their Super Forms. The Egg Wizard has three attacks to start out with when Sonic and Blaze catch up.
- The Egg Wizard shoots fireballs at the player. It will shoot any of the following two types of fireballs; the green ones go slowly at them, while the blue ones go faster. Sonic can deflect both types, damaging the Egg Wizard.
- The Egg Wizard shoots three large projectiles that resemble fire dragons that will home in on the player and explode on contact. These can also be deflected.
- The Egg Wizard will charge for a short period before launching a meteor at the player, which will release a large explosion when it hits. While the attack is being charged, a blue reticle surrounding the player's character will appear and follow wherever the player moves to, turning red just before the meteor's launch. Although the meteor can be deflected, it must be done with Sonic's attack at full charge.
The player must have Sonic deflect the Egg Wizard's attacks or have Blaze launch fire balls at the Egg Wizard to damage it. When doing the latter, the player should aim to do so when the Egg Wizard is not actively attacking since Blaze's attacks get fully blocked by the Egg Wizard's attacks. After nearly depleting the Egg Wizard's Health Gauge, the Egg Wizard will fly away. The player will be automatically aligned with the middle of the stage while gaining an additional 18 Rings as they catch up with the Egg Wizard, which then regains some of his health. The get two new attacks.
- The Egg Wizard shoots out a large wave of lava for a short while.
- The Egg Wizard shoots out several electrical charges that appear on the touch screen. After a brief period, the charges will each fire a few beams at the player, stunning them for a few seconds if any of them connect.
After depleting the Egg Wizard's Health Gauge a second time, it will regain some of its health (though not as much as the first time) and it gains a new attack; the Egg Wizard fires several large missiles at the player. The missiles with rounded tips can be deflected by Sonic. The player must keep fighting until the Egg Wizard's health is completely gone once more, ending the fight.
To get an S-Rank for this fight, the player must finish the fight in less than two minutes (for maximum Time Bonus of 45,000) while having at least 50 Rings in possession (for maximum Ring Bonus of 5,000).
Trivia[]
- This is one of the two bosses in Sonic Rush Adventure (the other is Captain Whisker and Johnny) that does not have the prefix "Ghost" in its title, and the only one to have an "Egg" prefix.
- The way Sonic finishes Egg Wizard is similar to how he finished Perfect Dark Gaia in Sonic Unleashed.
- Like in Sonic Unleashed, both final boss battles also take place in underground areas.
- Some of Super Sonic and Burning Blaze's voice clips are reused from the final fight in Sonic Rush.
- Part of the music used in this battle would be later used for the fight against Rotatatron and Refreshinator in Sonic Colors.
