Appearance[]
The Gigantic Angel Zone boss is a bulky aircraft with a windshield, gray armor, and four small gray rockets, two of which sit on the back of the aircraft. The other two rockets are attached to the machine's bottom and have a red ring encircling their feet. The craft also has a gray curved nose on the front that has two holes in it for ventilation. There is a large hole on the bottom of the nose where bombs are dropped out of. This hole has a red-rimmed mouth, black and yellow hazard stripes along the rim, and yellow arrows on the sides that point downward. Also, behind the nose, on each side of the aircraft, is a circular disk with five turrets on each.
Powers and abilities[]
Dr. Robotnik's vehicle is capable of flight using rocket propulsion. In terms of offensive capabilities, it can fire energy bullets from its turrets and drop miniature nukes from the drop hole on its front.
History[]

In Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure, Dr. Robotnik used this vehicle to attack Sonic when he was taken by surprise by Sonic in Gigantic Angel Zone. In spite of Robotnik's efforts though, his vehicle was destroyed by Sonic in the end.
Battle[]
The Gigantic Angel Zone boss is the sixth boss of Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure. The player fights it at the end of Gigantic Angel Zone Act 2.
Boss guide[]
When the player arrives in an empty arena at the end of Gigantic Angel Zone Act 2, Dr. Robotnik can be seen thinking, unaware of Sonic's presence. After noticing Sonic though, he will run away in fear before returning in his aircraft, laughing, and initiating the boss battle. During the battle, Robotnik's aircraft will fly back and forth above the arena, never going off-screen in the process. While doing this, he will attack by shooting five energy bullets every eighth second in five different directions, which scatters them across the arena. In addition to this, this boss will periodically drop a miniature nuke. This bomb can cause damage to Sonic if he stands close enough to the bomb's dropping point, but the player can also jump on top of the bomb's explosion and set off towards Robotnik's cockpit from it without taking damage. Occasionally, Robotnik will also come closer to the ground.
To defeat this boss, the player must hit Robotnik's aircraft eight times. Since Robotnik cannot be reached from the ground most of the time, the player must either use the explosions created by the miniature nukes as platforms to jump from, or wait for Robotnik to fly closer to the ground. In the meantime, the player must navigate the arena carefully in order to avoid being hit by the explosions and energy bullets, which can potentially be shot at the same time.
After being defeated, the Gigantic Angel Zone boss will blow up. Dr. Robotnik will then run away while Sonic chases after him to the next Zone.
