— "Dr. Eggman", Sonic Heroes

Robot Carnival (ロボットカーニバル Robotto Kānibaru?) is the first enemy gauntlet boss stage in Sonic Heroes.

Battle[]

Robot Carnival is the third boss stage overall in Sonic Heroes, which occurs after the player has completed BINGO Highway. It can be fought by Team Sonic, Team Dark, Team Rose and Team Chaotix. Unlike most other bosses in Sonic Heroes, the objective of Robot Carnival is to not defeat a particular powerful enemy, but to fight against numerous groups of regular Badnik enemies. Only one group of enemies will appear at a time; the next group will eventually spawn after the previous group of enemies are all destroyed. The number of groups and types of enemies vary on the player's chosen team. During the battle, "Dr. Eggman" flies around in the Egg Mobile and cannot be attacked.

Robot Carnival's stage takes place at a large circular platform in the midst of the casino scenery used in Casino Park and BINGO Highway. The circular platform has notable details to match the stage, namely a roulette in the innermost circle followed by an annulus of clear glass, an annulus-shaped carpet with alternating shades of red and finally an annulus with white surfaces and black wavy lines.

In gameplay, the platform itself has nine Rings and a Wide spring where the player can earn a Shield if they light up all three of its launch points. The spring can also be used to reach a Floating Item Box hovering above the center of the platform containing a Team Blast Ring. The platform has invisible boundaries which prevent the player from falling off the stage into the bottomless pit.

Team Sonic[]

  • Phases 1 and 2: The first two waves each contain red Flappers and Cannon Flappers. The player should use Sonic's Homing Attack to destroy all of them sequentially.
  • Phase 3: A combination of casino Egg Spears and Cannon Flappers will attack. The player should use Knuckles to defeat the Egg Pawns and then bounce off of the Gun Flappers using Sonic.
  • Phase 4: This phase has nine Flappers (three each of red Flappers, Search Flappers and Gun Flappers) that can either be bounced off of using Homing Attack or knocked down/destroyed with Thunder Shoot.
  • Phase 5: Four Laser Flappers will converge at the center and then move back to the edge of the platform. The player should destroy them all using Thunder Shoot.
  • Phase 6: Egg Pawns with metal shields and Bomb Flappers attack this time.

Trivia[]

  • After defeating this boss, "Eggman" says "Don't get too excited, boys", even if the team has female characters.
    • Also, in the subtitles, "Eggman" says "Don't get so excited, boys", instead of too.
  • In console versions of Team Dark, Omega's last sentence gets corrupted buzz sounds. This does not happen in the PC version.
