Why does he HAVE to enter the platform so you can hit him?

Hell, there's even one phase where you don't see Eggman at the platform but when it's time to move on he shows up to get hit.

If he can't shoot the fastest thing alive, he can still point a gun at his main squeeze.

Every time a boss just spawns random platforms for the character to jump on and reach their weak spot. Bonus points if they aren't even hazards in any way.

I hate boss fights where the only way to do damage is if the boss attempts one specific attack that leaves them vulnerable. They literally have to just not do that attack and would be invincible.

Some games at least try to give them a decent reason, like they need to take a moment to recharge or vent heat or something, but most of the time the boss literally has no reason to make themselves vulnerable like that.

Sonic Rush was the worst for this, not only did the bosses do that but you were on a timer for absolutely no reason, and it was random if they do that one attack.

Why not build a robot out of spikes and attempt to crush Sonic?
Why doesn't Wily build robots out of the same material as Sniper Joe's shield?

Hard Mode: Nothing involving exposing the boss's weakness, spamming its strongest attack or rushing the MC at Level 1

Sonic dodged a pointblank pocket ion laser gun from Eggman, you think that works?

But why was the boss's weakness there? What do those pads do?

Because the material is stated to be super-expensive and Wily is frequently working on a strict budget that he has to stretch as best he can. It's why most of his robots are stolen and hastily modded for combat instead of built himself.

The opposite is awesome, any games where the bosses don't repeat attacks/cover their weaknesses?
