Firefly

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

Appearance
The Fireflies resemble fire-red mosquitos with a large head and cartoonish eyes.

Overview
The Fireflies are encountered exclusively in Volcano Valley Zone. In gameplay, they will buzz around a set point in an erratic manner. They have no active defensive or offensive techniques; the only way these bots can hurt Sonic is if the hedgehog bumps right into them.

These Badniks can easily be destroyed with a Spin Dash or Spin Jump. Upon their destruction, they release their respective power source, a Flicky, which can be picked up by Sonic.
