IV. The Bosses
=======================================================================
a) Neo Green Hill Zone Boss
  Difficulty: Very Easy For Sonic, Easy for Tails, and Knuckles,
  Medium for Amy
  Hits:6 hits (Easy Mode) 8 hits (Normal Mode)
  Eggman is in a mallet machine. He swings his mallet back and forth
  and by common sense you have to dodge it. Wait until the mallet is
  back so you can attack. After a few hits Eggman will use the mallet
  as a catapult so watch out. As with all bosses you should have at
  least 1 ring.
b) Secret Base Zone Boss
  Difficulty: Easy for Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, Medium for Amy
  Hits:6 hits (Easy Mode) 8 hits (Normal Mode)
  Eggmans bouncing machine from Sonic Chaos makes a return. Here all
  you have to do is move out of the way when he bounces and just keep
  hitting him on the head. A few hits later he will jump very high and
  try to squash you. You have to jump out of the way very fast, but if
  he lands on you, you just lose your rings.
c) Casino Paradise Zone Boss
  Difficulty: Medium for Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, Hard for Amy
  Hits:6 hits (Easy Mode) 8 hits (Normal Mode)
  Eggman goes through 8 pipes to try to confuse you. This boss is not
  really hard, it's just frustrating because you never know where
  Eggman is going to be next. You should also watch out for a spiked
  ball that moves through the pipes like Eggman. Just keep hitting
  Eggman as soon as you see him and avoid the spiked ball.
d) Ice Mountain Zone Boss
  Difficulty: Hard for Sonic, and Knuckles, Easy for Tails, Medium for
  Amy
  Hits:6 hits (Easy Mode) 8 hits (Normal Mode)
  Eggman is in a drill mecha. You are underwater and Eggman drills big
  icicles which you must jump on to reach Eggman, and to get air.
  This is a pretty hard boss if you dont know any jumping techniques.
  This boss is hard for Sonic and Knuckles because they cannot
  jump high to reach the air. Boss is medium for Amy because her high jump
  can reach the air if you're out of air. Boss is easy for Tails
  because he can just fly to get air, but he'll need to jump to hit Eggman.
e) Angel Island Zone Boss
  Difficulty: Medium-Hard for All
  Hits: 8 hits (All Modes)
  Mecha Knuckles is your opponent this time. At first he is wearing a red
  suit. It is better to hurt him with your special attacks. Dont go near
  him when he is gliding or spindashing. After four hits his suit will fall
  off and he is in bare metal. Now he gets harder. This time he will shoot
  four consecutive homing missiles at you. Just jump to avoid them. He can
  block your attacks but if you constantly do them he will get hit. It is
  better if you attack him when his back is turned.
f) Egg Rocket/Cosmic Angel Zone Boss
  Difficulty: Medium-Hard For Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, Hard for Amy
  Hits:6 hits (Easy Mode) 8 hits (Normal Mode)
  Eggman is in a tubular thingy with spikes. The tube is on a sort of rope
  with metal orbs. At first his spikes will be up and he will move around.
  You have to get a little close to him and jump on a metal orb. If done
  correctly the tubes weak side will appear and thats where you attack.
  Later in the battle he will shoot electric balls that you have to avoid.
  After a few hits he will move very fast so just jump over him as fast as
  you can.
g) X-Zone Boss 1
  Difficulty: Easy for All
  Hits:4 hits (All modes)
  The swinging ball boss from Sonic 1 makes a cameo appereance as the first
  boss in X-Zone. He is very easy. Just jump to avoid the ball and just jump
  to hit him.
h) X-Zone Boss 2
  Difficulty: Easy for All
  Hits:4 hits (All modes)
  Another cameo appereance. This time its with the first boss of Sonic 2.
  He is easy also. Just jump to hit him and avoid his spike when it comes
  out after the 3rd hit.
i) X-Zone Boss 3
  Difficulty: Hard for All
  Hits:6 hits (Easy Mode) 8 hits (Normal Mode)
  Eggman with some sort of utility belt. His attacks include throwing a bomb,
  flashing a beam, a robotic hand, and he will try to run you over. When he
  throws the bomb jump over it when he just throws it and hit his head. For
  the beam, either duck or jump and possibly try to hit him or get him next time.
  For the robotic hand just jump over it and when it is extended move out of the
  way. When he tries to ram you just jump and hit him. If you
  dont have all the emeralds than this is your last boss. But if you have all the
  emeralds...
j) The Moon Zone Boss
  Difficulty: Hard
  Hits:6 hits (Easy Mode) 8 hits (Normal Mode)
  This is the final battle with Eggman. This is a hard boss. You face the
  boss with Super Sonic. Eggman will be in a large robot. He will try to block
  himself with his hands, capsules that can trap you, and a laser. That pattern
  will always repeat. To hit eggman you have to jump and than dash into his head
  when he's unblocked. You have to do this constantly and fast so you dont run
  out of rings. If you need a few extra rings dash onto a capsule and break it
  for rings, just dont get trapped. Once you beat this boss you have completely
  beaten the game.
