| << Previous zone | — | Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (8-bit) Crystal Egg Zone |
Crystal Egg Zone is the seventh and last Zone in the Master System and Game Gear game Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
Description
It can only be accessed if the player has successfully collected all the Chaos Emeralds in previous zones; otherwise, the Bad Ending will follow the defeat of Silver Sonic in Scrambled Egg Zone.
As with all other stages in this game, Crystal Egg Zone consists of two standard Acts followed by a shorter, third Act which contains the Zone's boss.
Crystal Egg is perhaps the least aesthetically offensive of all the final bases Dr. Robotnik's constructed over the years; a zone of glassy, translucent architecture where even the spikes glow in rainbow hues. Blocks embossed with Robotnik's pugnacious visage frequently conceal hidden walkways.
Final Boss
The final boss of 8-bit Sonic 2.
The game's last boss battle takes place inside a lightning chamber, which Dr. Robotnik makes extra-fatal by throwing gyrating, flower-shaped energy bolts into the mix. However, the boss actually isn't that difficult if you stay inside the transport chutes until the chamber clears; at which point you can leap out, attack Dr. Robotnik, and dive back in to safety before his attacks renew themselves.
Sonic rescuing Tails.
His final machine destroyed, Dr. Robotnik beats a hasty retreat down an escape chute. Sonic gives chase, but not quickly enough to stop the fat man escaping via teleporter. Just as the hedgehog thinks all is lost, Tails warps in through the teleport terminal, presumably thrown in there by Dr. Robotnik as a means of expediting his retreat.
