Out of all of Robotniks attempts to destroy Sonic, which is your favourite invention (excluding final bosses)?
Myself, it has got to be the ld classic. Ball and chain. But why did people find him hard? Simple pattern. Swing back and forth. Guess it was just one of those things.
That's a tough question! The giant rock golem at the end of Sandopolis Act 2 was cool. I also liked the Floating Egg that he used in the Casino Night boss, with all the neon lights on it etc.
Although (And I'm assuming we can count this since he isn't a final boss) Metallix (The Metal Sonic) in Sky Sanctuary Zone is probably the coolest imo.

Indeed! The Carnival Night boss is visually stunning! I do find him tricky at times because if you lose control then you are screwed!
I say the robot at the end of S3&K...he like never gives up, you fight it like a total of 4 or 5 times before you finish it. Now that is heart.
I say the robot at the end of S3&K...
Seconded. Still can't get past it. I've given up trying.
You know i'm speaking of the final final boss...as Sonic all the way through as Super/HyperSonic. He's not too tough...except when he shoots that green blast at you w/the ME. And that always got me for some reason at the end when you chase him and he's got the ME flying off in his pod and the land is falling...i'd always finish him but fall off the level. -_-
I find that Sonic's Double-jump instashield, timed perfectly, can elude the green beam...trouble is, it can take some doing, and you may die, a lot, by trying. XD
After that, it's all a matter of finishing the job...Oo
{ I can't pick a boss - they all rock. Oo; Eeeeeep. }
I just usually take the hit and regather rings...shouldn't this be in the South Island forum? My fave attempt to kill Sonic was Mecha Knuckles from SA1. I swear he was near impossible to beat if you were amy or Knux.
I'd say the Robotic Armour from Sonic 2, fina; boss. Death Egg Prototype. I still haven't beaten him. Only boss that has had that affect on me. Heck I beat S3&K's final boss easily. I guess I'm just talented I guess. *shrug*
Yea I just beat the Sonic 2 final boss back in December or something or something for the first time. Did it twice actually(once w/0 CEs then again w/7). Gave me quite an amazing feeling when I did it too.
I rather like the bosses that you have to trick into hitting themselves. Like the fake fluffy animal cage.
please tell me I'm not the only one that taunted it with spindashes...
I especially love the glitch that makes Tails moonwalk at the end of levels.
That's not a glitch. Tails just likes to get his groove on like everyone else.
Where exactly was Tails when all those little children needed rescuing from those big, bad gangsters, anyway? Lord knows he'd have been easier to settle with than that "Smooth Criminal" figure.
Please tell me that was a rhetorical question, when I tried to answer it I was struck with mental images of Tails and Michael Jackson which I really really could have done without... 
@ Craig and Shadow Hog!
And yes- I was very transfixed by Tails' little performance.
What... you mean... MJ was sleeping with Tails the whole time?

Ehmm... SA1? This is the game involving the destruction of Perfect Chaos, correct? Ehm... Mecha Knuckles??? Am I missing something?
EE
He means Sa1. Ya know, Advance.
Ah, sorry for that mistake.
My favorite boss was from Tails Adventures... However, I cannot remember who it was. Heheh.
EE
Isn't this the same kinda thing as "What's Your Favorite Boss?"?
*forsee's the locking of this topic*
Not really! Not just the games but Sonic episodes as well. Y'know, Sonic X, Sonic Underground!
Octoron, Fun-Fun or maybe the many (and sometimes stupid) traps set for Sonic in the early kids episodes.
What's yours?
Makes me want to suscribe to Nintendo Power.
Wow... Looking at the cover...
SHADOW IS GROWIN A THICK ORANGE BEARD LIKE SANTA AFTER EATING SPAGHETTI!!
EE 
WTH?!? How did this get here?!
XD Wrong topic, eh.
Yeah, LOL. I have no idea how this bounced from the Shadow the Hedgehog topic over here...
*Laughs*

eggman's most evil ideas are the boss battles underwater, they're the hardest.
and that drill boss from sonic2, he was super hard.
What I don't understand is when Sonic beats something by luck, or there's a tiny design fault (like how Metallix Mk II nearly trounced Sonic in StC), why Robotnik doesn't try again with the same idea but slightly improved?
Because Robotnik has an IQ of 300 and not one ounce of common sense!

"South Island - The Segasonic & Sonic Team Forum!"
The faults from the comic book don't exist in the game, so don't mention them.
As far as building and improving the Metal Sonic's, he never stopped. Mostly because they've always been successful to some degree, especially the Sonic CD Metal Sonic who is currently being babysat by Omega.
Well, if we're on computer bosses...
I liked the Advance one where there's the spiky platforms you jump on to bash Robotnik, and Tails is in the long arm of it.
Saving him is like, so CUTE.
I also think the Mecha Knuckles was cool - but I whomped him with Amy's Piko Piko Hammer.
Because Robotnik has an IQ of 300 and not one ounce of common sense!
That make sense, especially during his final fight in Sonic's story of Adventure 1. If he had only destroyed both platforms.
Anyway my favorite Robotnik idea is the Death Egg.
The Death Egg itself gets my vote. I can't pick a single boss; they were all annoying at one point or another.
my favourite boss has to be egg viper from sa
Some of his best constuctions:
Egg Viper(SA)
Mega Metal Sonic(Chaotix)The only time he was smart enough to use some artifact of great power on himself(using the last chaso ring to merge with Metal Sonic)
Metal Sonic MKIII(Heroes) If only eggman had programmed him for loyality.
Of course if Eggman had any common sense He used the Chaos Emeralds on himself instead using to power some machine or giving them to another being capable of great distruction(Chaos, Eclipse Cannon, Emerl, and the machine he used to split te world in 7 peices in Sadv3 come to mind).
Super Eggman-Robotnik? Can anyone imagine what that would look like? Yeuch.
Why can't Robotnik just give up.
Why can't you just give up bumping old topics with one-liners.
Seriously. Stop.
I'll tell you what a good idea would be, for Robotnik. If he lined all his fortresses with barbed wire and cut glass. That would slow the heroes down.
And he should get rid of all those bloody rings too.
As far as deadliness goes, I'd have to say Sonic 2 on Genesis's final boss, and the Egg Viper.
But my FAVORITES are Sonic 1 (Game Gear)'s Green Hill Zone and Sonic 2 (Genesis)'s Emerald Hill Zone bosses, since their so ludicrous. I LOVED it when I heard the Sonic 2 Boss Music play in Sonic Advanced, and loved it more when I saw that goofy car roll by. Good times....
I can't beleive people had trouble with the giant robot at the end of S3K o.o 's easy, as soon as the noise stops going warp, jump. Works evry time.
Anyway, Robotnik's best ideas...well I think tricking Knux on angel island was prolly one of his best. That and lifting off from the volcano while Sonic was still inside. That's harsh.
