The Bug[note 1] is an enemy that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a mass-produced, insect-based Badnik model created by Dr. Robotnik.
Appearance[]
The Bugs are Badnik with the appearance of a ladybug. They each have a round black head and red elytra that cover their backs. Also, instead of dots, they have gray spikes on their backs. They also have purple accents, cartoonish black eyes, orange brows and mouths, and two fangs each.
Overview[]
In Sonic 3D Blast, the Bugs are encountered exclusively as enemies in Volcano Valley Zone. In gameplay, they will trundle around their designated area in an erratic manner, trying to hit Sonic. They also have no active defensive or offensive techniques; the spikes on their backs are purely cosmetic. As such, the only way these Badniks can hurt Sonic is if the hedgehog bumps right into them.
These Badniks can easily be destroyed with a Spin Attack, Spin Dash or Spin Jump. Upon their destruction, they release their respective power source, a green Flicky, which can be picked up by Sonic.
Notes[]
- ↑ This Badnik was given no official name upon or after the release of Sonic 3D Blast. However, its name was revealed in the Debug Mode for the unofficial Sonic 3D Blast: Director's Cut video game developed by Jon Burton, the lead programmer of the Genesis version of Sonic 3D Blast. When asked about its validity, Burton confirmed that this Badnik's name was used in the original game.
