The Egg Mosquito is a type of Super Badnik created by Dr. Eggman. It appears as a sub-boss in Sonic Superstars.
Description[]
The Egg Mosquito is a large Badnik robot modeled after a mosquito. It has a spherical body with a spherical head and an oblong tail. It sports a purple and silver colour scheme, two black eyes with cyan irises, a set of insectoid wings and six spikes on its underside that are meant to represent a mosquito's legs. The robot's primary armament its proboscis, which is in fact a harpoon connected by a steel cable.
Appearances[]
Sonic Superstars[]
The Egg Mosquito appears as the sub-boss of the Speed Jungle Zone. The boss battle is divided into three phases, each needing the boss to be damaged only once to progress in the fight.
The Egg Mosquito will try to defeat the player by dropping a batch of energy spheres from the top of the screen or targeting the player with its harpoon then shooting it where the target was last seen. The harpoon will get stuck in the ground for a bit, during which the player can then run, Spin Dash or Drop Dash along the cable to reach the boss, although it is possible to hit it with the Avatar power.
The only difference between the three phases of the fight is the terrain the boss is fought on, with the first phase having a perfectly flat ground, the second having three holes in the ground (none of them being bottomless pits), and phase three having two holes in the ground with spikes popping out of at regular intervals.
Notes[]
- The name "Egg Mosquito" 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 "mosquito" as well as Dr. Eggman's common practice of naming many of his machines with an 'Egg' prefix.
