Emerls Story Straight into Altar, then look towards and into the Death Egg, then to Eggman Eggman: Pow, Shot, Set (2 1 3) | Aerial special only. He needs 4, so get them in groups of 2 as he decends | After first kill, go Set, Shot, Pow (3 1 2) just to save time respawning so you can always get under him Eggman 2: As Above, but 6 to kill so 3 groups of 2 (or 2 groups of 3 if risky).
