Krondor

The Krondor is an enemy that only appears in Sonic the Hedgehog Spinball. It is a Badnik model, presumably created by Dr. Robotnik.

Overview
Krondors are rather weak looking bird robots with hovering engines on their lower backs. They are only seen at The Machine where they are not as often seen than many other badniks. Krondor or Buster can appear to block the small opening of rotating transport tube.

Two Krondors are also seen hovering on one place at two higher rooms near close to the boss room. Depending which one the player chooses to destroy, the hatch below two Krondors will open to one of two directions, while the method will be different on two rooms. By destroying left/right one will open the hatch to lower pipe, that will shoot the player into the above pipe and the boss room, while destroying the right/left one will transport the player to the lower animal prison room of The Machine via transport tube.

At the boss room of Veg-O Machine, Krondors will pop out from the bottom hatch of the machine and block the player's way to the machine's animal pipes. By normally destroying the Krondor will free animal friend inside of it, while in 8-bit version of the game will reward the player with 45,000 points per Krondor.
