Fish

The Fish is an enemy that appears in Sonic 3D Blast. It is a mass-produced, pufferfish-based badnik created by Dr. Robotnik.

Appearance
The Fishs bear a resemblance to hovering puffer-fish. They also closely resemble the nautical Pointdexters (and their mutual successors, the Senbons),

Overview
The Fishs are encountered exclusively in Green Grove Zone and Spring Stadium Zone. In gameplay, they float back and forth along a fixed diagonal line. They will periodically puff up (extending their spikes) and then deflate.

These Badniks can easily be destroyed with a Spin Jump while they deflated; otherwise, Sonic will take damage when he touches their spikes. In Gene Gadget Zone, it should be noted that the Fishs have a tendency to hover above electrified floors, preventing the player from simply standing underneath them and waiting until it is safe to attack.

Upon their destruction, the Fishs release their respective power source, a Flicky, which can be picked up by Sonic.

Trivia

 * The Fish is the only enemy in Sonic 3D Blast that appears in more than one Zone.
