Designed for urban combat, this heavyweight vehicle can walk on four powerful legs. It is equipped with balancers on its ankles to stabilize the weak center of gravity in its suspension.


— Description, Sonic Adventure website[1]

The Egg Walker (エッグウォーカー[2] Eggu Wōkā?) is a vehicle that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It was a modified Eggmobile that was created by Dr. Robotnik, who used it during the Chaos incident.

Description[]

Appearance[]

The Egg Walker was a rather large vehicle, much bigger than Tails, with the Eggmobile as its cockpit. It had four massive legs with a blue balancer on the ankle each. At the top of the mech, on each side of the Eggmobile, there were two missile launchers.

Features and abilities[]

The Egg Walker was equipped with a large arsenal of weaponry, including missiles, flamethrowers, and bombs. Due to its massive size, it could create shockwaves on the floor by making a powerful stomp with one of its legs. Its balancers also helped it stabilize the weak center of gravity in its suspension.[1] However, the vehicle was not free of flaws: the shockwaves it created would make these balancers vulnerable to attack, causing it to lose its balance when these were hit.[2]

Specifications[]

  • Height: 9,144 m (30 ft.[1])

History[]

Sonic Adventure[]

In Sonic Adventure, when his attempt to destroy Station Square using a missile failed, Dr. Robotnik used the Egg Walker as a last-ditch attempt to defeat Tails. However, he was defeated. Humiliated, the doctor flew away in his Eggmobile as the residents in Station Square began cheering the fox.

Battle[]

The Egg Walker is the fifth and final boss of Tails' storyline in Sonic Adventure, its enhanced port Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut, and the 2010 remaster. In Adventure Mode, it is fought after clearing Speed Highway for the first time as the fox. In Trial mode, it is the third and final boss in the Boss Sub Game as Tails.

Boss guide[]

The battle takes place in the Casino District of Station Square. Different sets of Rings can be found from either the center of the road or behind parked cars. Right after the start, the Egg Walker launches missiles towards the player. After a certain amount, the Egg Walker starts moving back and forth in the area while dropping bombs around it. After a while, Robotnik then activates flamethrowers to burst large flames into the air while the Egg Walker keeps moving.

If the player gets near to the Egg Walker, Robotnik activates one of four legs to do small shock waves. At first, he only uses one leg at the time. When this happens, the gloving part of the knee becomes the Egg Walker's weak spot. The player has to perform Tails Attack/Rapid Tails Attack to hit the weak spot and make the whole vehicle fall down for a limited amount of time in order to hit the cockpit. After taking one hit, the Egg Walker gets up and leaps to the other side of the area to repeat its pattern. However as the player keeps doing damage, Robotnik will use more than two or three legs to do shock waves and the player has to hit all three weak spots to make the Egg Walker fall down. However if the Egg Walker is moving while doing shock waves, Tails is unable to hit the weak spots.

After doing five hits, Tails destroys the Egg Walker.

Trivia[]

  • Like the Egg Hornet and the Egg Viper, the Egg Walker's code name is "EG2". The code name is displayed below the windshield of the walker.
  • The Egg Walker and Egg Viper boss fights are infamous for Dr. Robotnik's line, "Get a load of this!". In the former's case, this happens every time the doctor stomps on the ground with the mech's legs.
  • There is a leftover debug feature that allows the player to make the Egg Walker advance to the next cycle of its attack when pressing Y Button Dreamcast. For example, pressing Y Button Dreamcast while the boss is stamping its feet on the ground will instantly cause it to walk over to the other side of the arena.
