Unga Bunga is a boss that appears in the Sonic Boom series. It was a giant robot made by D-Fekt from totem poles in Kodiak Frontier to battle Team Sonic.
Appearance[]
Unga Bunga is a several stories tall robot composed of multiple totem pole segments. These segments come together as nine visible parts: six body fragments, a head with horns protruding from the sides and curling upwards, and two large arms and hands. Unga Bunga is mostly garnet in color, with some blue, red and white faces painted on it. It also has two horizontal horns and a toothed mouth, Being held together by D-Fekt's powers, it has nothing connecting its parts.
History[]
Games[]
Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice[]
When Sonic and Amy gave chase on Kodiak Frontier, D-Fekt came across several totem pole pieces which he built Unga Bunga's body from using his magnetic powers. He then inserted himself into the forehead of the inactive robot, brining Unga Bunga to life. Springing up from its idle position, Unga Bunga battled Sonic and Amy, only to be destroyed by the heroes, while D-Fekt fled in the aftermath.
Powers and abilities[]
Thanks to its size, Unga Bunga possesses strength great enough to cause large tremors by hammering into the ground. Because it has no solid joints, it has completely articulated limbs, allowing it to rotate them like rolling pins to flatten its foes with significant force. Additionally, Unga Bunga can breathe fire, which it uses to set its hands ablaze for extra damage when hitting enemies.
Weakness[]
Since D-Fekt is the one holding Unga Bunga together, harming him causes Unga Bunga's structure to destabilize.
Battle[]
Unga Bunga is the first boss of Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice and can be fought with Sonic and Amy after clearing Cliffside Blizzard in Kodiak Frontier. The boss battle takes place in a closed-off arena with "pillars" appearing in the second phase.
Boss guide[]
The battle requires the player to switch between Sonic and Amy. At the beginning, Unga Bunga will attack with its hands, separating them from its body and placing them on the ground. The hand then rolls across the entire arena, although the player can avoid them by jumping over them. When Unga Bunga then sets its hand on fire, it will track the playable character's position for a short period of time before trying to smack them with it. After the impact however, its hand will become wedged in the ground and can be hit with the Homing Attack. Unga Bunga will then repeat this pattern. After hitting its hand again though, the second phase of the battle will start.
While Unga Bunga is stunned, it will drive one of its arm into the left side of the screen. From here, the player must switch to Amy and use Transform Terrain to raise the pillar. However, D-Fekt will try to prevent the player from doing so by dropping ice and metal blocks on the playable characters. While the Ice cubes can be melted while in Fire Mode, the player must dodge the metal blocks by jumping over them. Once the pillar has risen high enough, the player must switch to Sonic and then climb to the top of the pillar and hit Unga Bungo's head with the Homing Attack to deal damage to it. To climb the pillar however, the player must use Ice Mode to freeze the water blocks that lead to the top of Unga Bunga's head. The fight then resumes from the first phase, except this time, Unga Bunga has a broken horn on its head. Soon after, Unga Bunga will perform the same attacks again, except that during its stun phase, the pillar will appear on the opposite side of the arena, and the player will need to use fire Mode to climb it. Once Unga BUnga has taken another hit to the head, this boss will be completed.

Trivia[]
- Unga Bunga is based off a totem pole, which are common in Native American tribes. These are based mostly on the Pacific coast of North America, where there are many evergreen forests and very cold winters, similar to Unga Bunga's level.
- Unga Bunga is the only boss in the game which only Sonic damages, as Amy never attacks Unga Bunga herself.
- Sonic and Amy's victory animation at the end of the boss battle is the same that Sonic and Sticks perform after Double Trouble.
