MAPK8, Gloom Metropolis Zone Act 3, abbreviated as GMZ3, is the third act of Gloom Metropolis Zone, the third zone in Acid Missile. It is a boss fight against a modified Egg Slimer in the street that the player enters at the end of Gloom Metropolis Zone Act 2. Instead of the usual slime, this Egg Slimer throws bouncing fireballs. The street appears to be scrolling forward continuously, although in reality the effect is achieved by scrolling all the surfaces in the level backwards.
Walkthrough
Eggman circles around the stage in the middle of the street, throwing bouncing fireballs that start spreading throughout the stage. To keep up with the scrolling street, you must keep running forward. The main challenge is to dodge the fireballs as you approach Eggman to hit him. Only collect a few rings at a time to avoid running out of them. After five hits, Eggman will enter the pinch phase and start bouncing towards you. In this phase, it is best to stay out of the center where most of the fireballs are. Instead, stay on the edges of the stage and wait for Eggman to approach.
