The Ghost Pendulum (ゴーストペンデュラム Gōsuto Pendyuramu?) is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It was a robot created by Dr. Eggman and Eggman Nega who is featured as a boss in Sonic Rush Adventure.

Appearance[]

The Ghost Pendulum is a giant, robotic pendulum. It has three long legs where each end has a colored sphere, being the colors of red, cyan, and yellow). It has a face, mechanised to look like a pirate, which is dark blue and with glowing light blue eyes. It has grey stripes and a red jewel on it's head with dark along with light blue stripes on its legs. It also has a gray platform known as the lower torso (that appeared on Egg King).

History[]

In Sonic Rush Adventure, when Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower and Marine the Raccoon visited Machine Labyrinth, the trio encountered the Ghost Pendulum deep within the mechanical complex. Marine wanted to "have a go at it", but Sonic stopped her and fought the Ghost Pendulum by himself which ended up in the robot being destroyed.

Powers and abilities[]

The Ghost Pendulum is able to command pendulum attachments to join with its main body and can make the pendulum balls pop spikes out. The bottom component of the Ghost Pendulum is able to slam the ground with enough force to generate a large shock wave. Finally, it is capable of stationary levitation.

Battle[]

The Ghost Pendulum is the boss of Machine Labyrinth and is the second boss overall in Sonic Rush Adventure. When encountering it for the first time in the game's story, it can only be fought by Sonic. After clearing Coral Cave in the game's story, the Ghost Pendulum can also be fought by Blaze.

Boss guide[]

Unlike most other bosses, the Ghost Pendulum cannot be attacked directly; instead to damage the Ghost Pendulum, the player must hit its pendulums using the Spin Jump/Axel Jump with enough momentum that it swings upward and strike at the Ghost Pendulum's weak spot. The Ghost Pendulum has three different colored pendulums but the battle starts with a cyan one and is the smallest and lightest that requires the least amount of momentum but deals the least amount of damage. After a few hits, a yellow pendulum will come out. This one is bigger, a bit heavier and requires more momentum and hits to make it reach the head, but deals more damage than the cyan-colored pendulum. After a few more hits, a red pendulum will appear. The red pendulum is the biggest and heaviest, meaning that it requires more hits to make to reach the head but inflicts the most amount of damage among the three to the Ghost Pendulum. However, these pendulums can be covered in spikes for a short amount of time that can damage the player.

At this point, the Ghost Pendulum will start slamming the ground with its bottom half, creating an energy wave that the player must jump over to avoid damage. When the Ghost Pendulum's health is completely down, it will fall to the ground, giving the player a chance to hit a jewel on its head directly. After the hit, Ghost Pendulum will explode. If the player takes too long to hit it, the Ghost Pendulum will rise up, reconnect its pendulums, recover some health back and the fight continues. 

In normal difficulty, the cyan pendulum at the beginning of the fight will pop out spikes (as opposed to easy difficulty where the cyan pendulum's spikes began popping out once the yellow pendulum is present). All pendulums do now pop out their spikes more frequently. Its shockwave attack also is used more frequently and it will begin using it after the yellow pendulum is present. In addition, after using this attack, a small penguin-like robot (resembling the robot the Egg Libra spawns from Sonic Rush) spawns that will crawl around the stage in attempt to attack the player by simply moving towards them. It can be destroyed easily by a Spin Attack or jumping on top of it.
