Robot Mantis

Kama-Kama (カマカマ in Japan) is a mantis-type badnik created by Doctor Robotnik some time around the events of ''Sonic CD. ''They appear in the second zone (or "round" in this installment), Collision Chaos. They were a hindrance to the player due to placement near structures that acted in a similar fashion to the Bobbin.

Description
The Kama-Kama bears a strong resemblance to the Slicer from Sonic the Hedgehog 2. While Kama-kama bears the same attack pattern, it is no where near as frustrating. This is because a Kama-Kama's boomerang-shaped blades fly in a straight line instead of homing in on the player. Also, these blades can be deflected if curled into the Spin Attack, Spin Dash, or Spin Jump. The Kama-Kama has a green head with yellow antennae and large eyes with black pupils. They have a long green tube for a neck connecting them to their spherical green chassis. Attached to the chassis are large wheels with yellow tires and red hub caps, along with an orange abdominal section in the rear and two stubby orange arms to carry and throw it's blades.

Attack Pattern
The Kama-Kama will roll around in wait for the player, often in tight spaces to complicate attempts to defeat them. After they throw their blades, however, they simply putter around in a similar fashion to the Anton or Moto Bug. Old broken models of the Kama-Kama have already thrown their blades, and putter along with a depressed look on their triangular faces. Since Kama-Kama's and Slicers appear similar in shape and defensive strategy, many players who have played Sonic the Hedgehog 2 before Sonic CD will panic upon first sight of these Badniks, only to find out they are far less dangerous then the aforementioned Slicers.
