Boss Strategies (StHRetro)
From Sonic - Wiki on Neoseeker
All of the following bosses are Robotnik.

[edit] 1. Green Hill Zone
Jump onto one of the floating platforms and attack Robotnik a few times, before retreating into the corner. He will produce what looks like a giant bauble, which he swings back and forth. When it swings away from you, jump up and hit him. Eight hits will see him packing.
[edit] 2. Marble Zone
Jump up and hit Robotnik and he will fly across the lava. Stay where you are as he will set fire to the platform on the other side, before heading back your way. Hit him and jump away, over the lava, before he sets light to this platform (the fire on the other side will have subsided). Keep this up and he will be defeated quickly.
[edit] 3. Spring Yard Zone
Robotnik looks harmless, but this usually means he's up to no good. Stand on the far left block of the bridge and he will hover over you, producing a spike. Run out of the way and he will tug the block you were standing on. Hit him a few times (if you're good, you'll manage about four hits). Keep doing this, each time standing on the furthest left block, otherwise you may end up falling to your death after beating Robotnik (very frustrating).
[edit] 4. Labyrinth Zone
This is an unusual boss fight. After a very steep climb up a shaft, you will meet Robotnik, who promptly flies away. Chase him up the hardest section of the level, avoiding the spikes and flame spitting dog heads. Try not to be too hasty, or you will make a mistake, even though the water is constantly rising. When you reach the top, Robotnik will run away, leaving you free to get to the prison egg.
[edit] 5. Star Light Zone
Robotnik will drop bombs on to the see saws, and Sonic can attack him either by standing on other end of the see saw before the bomb is dropped and being catapulted up to Robotnik, or jumping on the see saw after the bomb is dropped and catapulting the bombs at him. Be warned that if you die, you will be sent to the lamp post (restart point) immediately before Robotnik, and you will not be able to collect ANY rings or shields.
[edit] 6. Scrap Brain Zone
No Known Boss - Apparently, Robotnik is on his tea-break in this Stage...
[edit] 7. Final Zone
You have no rings, but it's not actually that hard. You will be in a room with four compressors (two in the floor and two in the ceiling), and two - at random - will pop out to try and squash you flat. One has Robotnik inside, and this is the one you must hit. After that, four energy balls will now be released at the top of the screen and will home in on you. Make sure you avoid them or they will kill you. It's a good idea to stand to the right of the screen, as this is best to avoid being squashed, and only go for Robotnik if you can actually reach him. Don't take any foolish risks. After eight hits, chase Robotnik to his flying chicken pod, and - to make things a bit more satisfying, ram him and it'll blow up (although this isn't necessary).
