Overview
In Wii U version of Sonic Lost World, a single Gustav Turtle is found on small planetoid of Sky Road Zone 1. The player lands on the looping cloud ring that surrounds the planetoid. Gustav Turtle starts firing multiple missiles towards the sky, which drop down and got stuck on the upper cloud ring for couple of seconds until they explode in the forms of flaming line. The player has to hold down the jump button when Sonic touches the Cloud and leap himself towards the missile, as it bounces then back towards the Gustav Turtle. The player has to do this three times in order to defeat the Badnik and make Planetoid Spring appear on the Cloud ring.

In Nintendo 3DS version of the game, Gustav Turtles appear more commonly and they are encountered in Silent Forest Zone 1 and 2. Here they are found in singular along with smaller Badniks. They remain stationary until the player arrival, as they start slowly move towards Sonic and fire large cannon balls towards Sonic.

Gustav Turtles are one of tougher enemies in the game to defeat, as sometimes, these Badniks can be also mandatory to defeat for opening Cases, which are needed to proceed with the Zones. The player has to target on the Badnik's head and use either Homing Attack or Somersault Kick to make it stunned for couple of seconds and then load the Focused Homing Attack full to hit at once. After this, Gustav Turtle hides its head inside its shell for couple of seconds until it makes short jump and creates short-ranged shockwave by slamming into the ground. The player has to do the same method three times in order to defeat the Gustav Turtle. While using Gray Quake, Gustav Turtle can be taken down with two hits and using Ivory Lightning takes down the Badnik with single hit.
