Snowman

The Snowman is an enemy that appears in Sonic 3D Blast. It is a mass-produced, snowman-based Badnik created by Dr. Robotnik.

Appearance
The Snowmen resemble mobile snowmen with green hats, green scarfs, and snowball cannon embedded in their hats.

Overview
Snowmen are encountered exclusively in Diamond Dust Zone. In gameplay, they are one of their Zone's more dangerous opponents. They slide around on ice-covered floor sections, following unpredictable routes and periodically spewing out snowballs in a half-circle.

These Badniks can be destroyed with a tactically-placed Spin Dash or Spin Jump. Upon their destruction, they release their respective power source, a Flicky, which can be picked up by Sonic. Unlike other Flickies in the game however, these ones are frozen in blocks of ice, which can be quite convenient; it keeps the Flickies from wandering off the moment they taste freedom.
