Boss[]
For this boss fight, the player fights Eggman in his Egg Totem. The machine sends flying spiked disks towards the player's character with a small cannon appearing on the top or bottom, firing projectiles. The player's goal is to quickly stand on the disks before they return back and attack the cockpit. The battle ends after eight hits have been dealt.
