![]() The oil pools can as well be set ablaze by fire-based objects, like the Fire Shield or a Gohla's fireballs. When standing in the oil pools in this Zone, the playable characters will slowly sink into them stay in them for too long without jumping and they will lose a life. Much to their surprise though, the submarine suddenly starts flying towards Lava Reef Zone. After defeating the doctor and his contraption, Sonic and co. Eventually, the group of heroes makes their way to the end of Oil Ocean Zone, only to come under attack from Eggman and his Mega Octus. Afterward, the trio steps out on a submarine which suddenly takes to the skies, with a course set for Lava Reef Zone.Īrriving in Oil Ocean Zone after sending themselves flying towards the Zone from Mirage Saloon Zone, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Mighty and Ray resume their quest to retrieve the Phantom Ruby from Dr. Making their way to the most polluted region of the Zone, the trio overcomes another one of Eggman's attempts to crush them, this time with the Mega Octus. Eggman to stop him from abusing the Phantom Ruby. Along the roads are sections in purple and green with strange-looking ornaments.Īfter defeating the Meter Droid, the entire Zone goes up in flames and the region becomes darker: the sky turns dark red, the oil pools become more frequent and the oil platforms' structures become more like buildings, with the industrial equipment from before being seen far off in the horizon.Īfter literally shooting themselves to Oil Ocean Zone, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles find themselves once again in search of Dr. The areas with solid footing consist exclusively of a network of metallic oil platforms and factories emblazoned with the Eggman Empire's decal, most of which are disposing oil into the sea. Only some clouds and the obscured sun can be seen in the sky. ![]() The entire region is a sea that has been blanketed by oil, and is being overcast by an orange sky with a lit horizon. Like the original, the Oil Ocean Zone is set in an industrial area of massive oil refineries and rigs for extracting and processing oil. It's easier than being patient though because being patient and careful always seems to result in me dying a lot more.Īdvice from someone with very few nerves that are easily shot.The dry plains of the Mirage Saloon Zone apparently lead out to the sea, for Sonic, Tails and Knuckles now find themselves scaling slimy oil refineries off the coast of West Side Island. Now just survive the next load of crap he throws at you and get in your last 2-3 hits.Īlternatively you can panic it like I usually do by trying to go for him, getting hit, abusing I-frames to get extra damage, and then surviving on zero rings (can be done) to get your last hits but this is risky. When the tentacles show up, you want to either balance on the nearest one (4 hits to kill) or go right for robotnik, if you balance on him correctly you can get 4-5 more hits off before he submerges again: 5-6 hits. You want to make sure to smack into him when he first surfaces: 1 hitĭodge the stupic scorpion tentacle thing that leaps out after you, then survive the lasers "Play calmly" is advice that did not help me, you want this fight to end as fast as possible because you cannot win the battle of attrition like with the other bosses due to rings sinking into the water and being impossible to recollect.Īlso, don't go int othe boss with that blue ring chaotix power-up, it'll make it even less likely to regain rings. I had a bastard of a time with this boss too, but pacing helped me beat it. I wouldn't advise rushing in for multiple hits as you know, you won't get your rings back and boss hit detection provides a second of invincibility after a hit, so if you rush in and go for mutiple hits, you'll drop to the oil and you'll lose your rings. Repeat, take out the other tentacle so you'll have less to dodge with the main unit.Ĭycle will repeat, minus the tentacles and he's wide open for attack. Platforms come back up, there's another invincible attack that's an arching spiked tail. You only have one opening for the main unit, so score one hit, dodge the fire, GTF out of the way. Take out one of the tentacles first and be aware that two platforms are going down. Get as far away to the furthest platform that you can so you can see the shots coming in order to dodge them. ![]() ![]() Just pay attention to the attack patterns.įirst, he fires with the laser cannon that you can't do anything about. I fell into those traps myself and I'm an old player from the 16 bit era.
