While part of its appearance is revealed, Hiyoko Master is known to be a goose-based Master Robot. It has a light gray/white round head with two black cartoon eyes on either side and an orange beak. Behind it it also has four beaks that would simulate the feathers of a real goose. It also has a long light gray/white neck that connects the head to some unknown device.
History[]
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (8-bit)[]

Battle[]
Hiyoko Master is the Master Robot of Sky High Zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (8-bit) and the game's second overall boss. The player faces it as Sonic the Hedgehog.
Boss guide[]
Hiyoko Master will first shoot four Mecha Hiyoko that will jump about the arena. If Sonic lands a successful hit, it will fall under the clouds to avoid being damaged. It will shoot another wave of the robot birds once more, then it will reemerge from beneath the clouds. It will shoot out a red energy blast, then it will bounce around the arena. To defeat the robot, Sonic must successfully land six hits. The player will be able to destroy Prison Egg and end the Zone.
Trivia[]
- The bottom portion of Hiyoko Master is never seen in-game, but can be viewed as a sprite in the data of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (8-bit).
