The Egg Gorilla is a type of Super Badnik created by Dr. Eggman. It appears as the sub-boss of Press Factory Zone in Sonic Superstars.
Description[]
The Egg Gorilla is a large robot modeled after a gorilla. It has an egg-shaped brown body with a light-brown chest and two light-brown panels on its underside representing feet, although it does not have any distinct legs. It sports two long, grey arms with four digits on each hand. Its head sports an ape-like muzzle, a pair of black eyes with cyan irises and a round electrode extending from each ear.
Appearances[]
Sonic Superstars[]
Appearing at the end of Press Factory Act 1, the Egg Gorilla is fought in a room with five hydraulic pistons suspended high above the grounded steel platform.
The Egg Gorilla will press down on a black switch, which causes some of the pistons to wobble for a brief moment, then after a short while, those pistons will press against the platform. These pistons will crush and instantly kill the playable character if they are caught. This attack is performed twice in succession. The player must take shelter under a non-wobbling piston (which will not press). After hitting it once, the Egg Gorilla will make four out of the five pistons will crush down at once.
After the piston attack, the Egg Gorilla will swing onto the high steel bar in the foreground, then cover itself with electricity as it vertically drops down to the ground platform. It will then launch itself and grab onto another part of the ground platform. Afterwards, it will pop its head out for a few moments before repeating this attack. During this brief window, the player will be able to hit the Egg Gorilla's head to damage it. After the player damages the Egg Gorilla, it will then switch over to its piston attack.
After it is hit twice, the Egg Gorilla will then perform the following attack after its piston attack. It will fire several electrical energy balls out of its "ears" in different directions. The player must hit the Egg Gorilla's head once more to destroy it and complete the boss fight. The player can then head over to the Goal Plate to clear Act 1.
Notes[]
- The name "Egg Gorilla" is conjectural. This robot currently has no official name; its RoboWiki name is derived from the audio files of Sonic Superstars referring to it as "gorilla" as well as Dr. Eggman's common practice of naming many of his machines with an 'Egg' prefix.
