## Bosses

### Robo-Big Nose

The Robo-Big Nose is the Minor Boss of Tropical Tracks Zone, only appearing in the end of Act 1.

During the boss fight, the Robo-Big Nose has 3 attacks:

* **Blast Attack!:** The Robo-Big Nose closes it's eyes, then fires blasters at Sonic and Tails, this attack is easy to dodges as long as Sonic and Tails aren't in the range of the blasters.
* **Blast Down:** The Robo-Big Nose will go to one of the sides of the arena, then fire down a series of blasters combine together, then travel towards the other side of the arena, stopping when it gets close to the other side.
* **Lasers Above:** The Robo-Big Nose will close it's eyes, then fire blasters upwards, the blasters then turn into lasers and 4 cruisers will appear on the arena before the lasers rain down to attack. Sonic and Tails must avoid touching the cruisers to dodge the attack.

In order to defeat the Robo-Big Nose, Sonic and Tails must hit it 12 times.

### Bendict Express (Phase 1)

The Bendict Express is the Major Boss of Tropical Tracks Zone only appearing in Act 2. In the intro of the battle, when the Bendict Express passes Sonic, the latter's spines cover his face, much to his annoyance. Tails doesn't have a special animation during the intro of the battle.

During Phase 1, Bendict Express has only 1 attack:

* **Cart Supplies Rain-Down:** The Bendict Express will open a cart door, which releases boxes which will bounce and damage Sonic and Tails on contact, however, the fourth box has a spring on it, which can be used to get on-top of the Bendict Express.

To hit the Bendict Express, Sonic and Tails must use the spring box to get on-top of the Bendict Express, then if close enough, the screen auto-scrolls to reveal the head of the Bendict Express, then Sonic and Tails must hit the siren to damage the Bendict Express. After the Bendict Express takes 2 damage, the ground will break to reveal lower ground, starting the second phase.

### Bendict Express (Phase 2)

Phase 2 is almost the exact same thing in phase 1, only that boxes drop more frequently.

Like in phase 1, Sonic and Tails must hit the siren 2 times to get to the third phase.

### Bendict Express (Phase 3)

In phase 3, Bendict Express has a different attack:

* **Bombing Boom:** Instead of boxes, bombs now drop down onto Sonic and Tails and explode on hitting the ground, only spring boxes are used during this attack.

Like the other phases, Sonic and Tails must hit the siren 2 times to defeat the Bendict Express.

## Trivia

* Tropical Tracks Zone and Gusty Greenhouse Zone are the only Zones from Sapphire Sights Zone to Raspberry River Zone to have a unique Major Boss theme.
