The Egg Pinball was the boss of World 7-8, Collision Zone. It was a giant machine mounted at the top of a massive pinball table, piloted by it's creator Dr. Robotnik.
In MKF[]
Once the player entered the pinball table and initiatted the boss battle, Robotnik would defend the Egg Pinball by sealing off a gate leading to the shaft it's stationed in. From there, he would unleash a constant barrage of special pinballs. These pinballs didn't do damage, but they functioned much like pinball bumpers, and could've easily knocked the player into spikes situated around the arena.
Strategy:[]
In order to make the Egg Pinball vulnerable, The player will have to play some pinball of their own. In the lower center of the table is a special spinner object mounted about a panel of lights. Passing upwards through this spinner would cause one of the lights on the panel to light up - When all three were lit, it would open up the gate preventing access to Robotnik and his machine. The player then had a limited amount of time before the gate closed again - They climbed to the top of the arena, and used the flippers to smash into the bottom of the Egg Pinball. This would've damaged it enough to push it upwards a short way, after which Robotnik would close another gate, and reseted the light panel. The player repeated this process three more times before it reached the top of the shaft, forcing Robotnik to abandon his machine and flee as the Egg Pinball crashed into the ceiling above and self-destructs. Destroying the Egg Pinball wouldn't have automatically ended the level, But it would've opened the path to the level goal just beyond. Unlike most bosses, The Egg Pinball didn't have hit points, and so no life bar was displayed.
