BFB refers to an enemy, that appears in Sonic Lost World. It is a mass-produced, pufferfish-type Badnik model created by Dr. Eggman and variation of Blowfish Transporter.

BFB's color scheme consists cyan and white colored armor with yellow beak and plates as well red engine turbines and plates. BFB has four missile launcher holes in front of each side and behind its back, the Badnik has cyan colored spikes attached to it.

Overview
In Wii U version of the game, a single BFS appears each time in Tropical Coast Zone ? and Sky Road Zone 3. Tropical Coast Zone ? features single BFB as an obstacle that does a slow turn in the mid-air. The player has to avoid getting into a collision with it by simply moving Sonic from the bottom of the Badnik.

In Sky Road Zone 3, the player encounters another BFB, that starts firing red missiles from its body while moving up and down in linear pattern. After firing several missiles at Sonic, the Badnik will then charge towards him from the right side and reverses back to repeat its attack pattern. The player has to avoid this attack by moving down on the bottom, but it can be risky for the player, as moving too lower results being falling off-screen. It is mandatory to defeat the BFB in order to clear the Zone; the player has make Sonic curl into ball in mid-air and land on one of missiles to bounce the missile back at the Badnik three times to make it malfunction and fly down.

In Nintendo 3DS version, BFS appears to be smaller and is only encountered in Sky Road Zone 2 and 3. This time however, the Badnik is armed with homing missiles towards the player and as it now hovers close to the ground, BFB can also do short length shock waves. Defeating these Badniks can be mandatory for opening Cases, that contain items or objects to proceed in the Zone. The player has to perform fully Focused Homing Attack two times to defeat it or using the Rocket towards to defeat it at once in Sky Road Zone 3.
