10 Video Game Bosses You'll Never Admit Losing To
6. Sonic The Hedgehog 2 – Drill Eggman
Speaking of side-scrollers, Sonic the Hedgehog’s nemesis, Dr Eggman, is no stranger to waddling back and forth, left to right. In fact, his assorted gadgets and gizmos used against Sonic span about as far back as Mario himself.
The Drill Eggman was showcased in Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and was the first boss Sonic faced. The game seemingly starts off with a simple boss, showcasing a basic attack pattern of driving left to right. When it comes down to it, though, controlling Sonic in a high pressure situation is no easy task.
Drill Eggman will speed left to right in an attempt to run down Sonic. Jumping over or onto the car is the only option but the issue can be him driving off the screen. Say he knocks you over, rings everywhere, then leaves the arena. Now you're left scrambling for your lifeblood, scattered all across the floor, grabbing what you can before he comes back.
Eight hits seems like a lifetime if you just can't get that timing down.
