Splats

Splats refers to the rabbit-type badnik which bounced by means of a pogo-like spring on its underside. Splats was supported to be minion in the original 16-bit version of Sonic the Hedgehog. However, it was removed prior to the release. Despite this, Splats has still appeared in promotional materials and some fan-made editions.

Splats badniks only made official appearances in early issues of Sonic the Comic and early issues of the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Comics. Also, a figurine of Splats was released in the mid-nineties along with Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Robotnik, Metal Sonic and all the other badniks from the original Sonic the Hedgehog game. These figures were made by TOMY.
