The Mosasaurus (モササウルス^[1], Mosasaurusu^?) is an antagonist that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a large, mosasaurus-based Badnik created by Dr. Eggman during the Northstar Islands incident.

Appearance[]

The Mosasaurus is a giant Badnik with a red and gray color scheme that resembles the extinct species of the same name. It has black and cyan eyes, as well as sharp spikes on its back.

History[]

Sonic Superstars[]

In the opening animation, the Mosasaurus tried to attack Sonic and Tails while the duo flew above the ocean with the Tornado.^[2]

In Bridge Island Zone Act 1, the Mosasaurus ambushed Sonic and his friends and attempted to peruse them. However, the large Badnik was defeated once it crashed into a massive wall, thus releasing the giant-sized Pecky powering it.

Sometime later, a now rebuilt Mosasaurus would attempt to pursue Trip like it previously did for Sonic and his friends. Despite its best efforts, the Mosasaurus would get destroyed after crashing into a massive wall once again, thus releasing the giant-sized Pecky powering it like it did previously.

Powers and abilities[]

The Mosasaurus is capable of swimming at incredible speeds, being able to keep up with Sonic and his friends, as well as being capable of easily destroying stone structures due to its size. It is powered by a giant-sized Pecky.

Weaknesses[]

Although the Mosasaurus is a powerful Badnik, it is is still vulnerable to massive walls that can withstand it.

Battle[]

The Mosasaurus is the mini-boss of Bridge Island Zone, as well as the first overall boss in Sonic Superstars. It is fought by Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy and Trip.

Boss Guide[]

During the Mosasaurus boss fight, the player will have to run forward, avoiding obstacles such as rocks and bottomless pits created by the robot. Unlike other boss fights, where the boss has to be hit a specific number of times, the player will have to survive its attacks, as the Mosasaurus will be automatically defeated once they reach a certain point, where it will hit a colossal wall, destroying it and freeing the giant-sized Pecky trapped within the robot. The Mosasaurus can still be hit, but it will not affect the boss fight. Rings are also present during the chase.

Trivia[]

• The Mosasaurus shares some similarities to the Giant Chopper from the console/PC version of Sonic Generations, as both are large water-based Badniks that chase the player during a section of the level they appear in. Additionally, the Mosasaurus also shares a similar color scheme to the Giant Chopper, in addition to the menacing cyan eyes as well.
• The Mosasaurus is the only boss in Sonic Superstars that the player does not fight or defeat directly, as it simply chases the player throughout the end of the act before unintentionally destroying itself by crashing into a wall.
• "Mosasaurus" may be a conjectural name for the enemy given by Weekly Famitsu, as several other enemies listed in the article do not use their official pre-established Japanese names.
