Buster

The Buster is an enemy that only appears in Sonic the Hedgehog Spinball. It is a Badnik model, presumably created by Dr. Robotnik.

Overview
Busters are feline-like robots with metallic propeller part of the body. They have only been featured at The Machine. They are usually often seen enemies blocking pathways while flying around on linear pattern or one place. In the lower part of the The Machine, Buster (or Krondor) appears to block small opening of rotating transport tube.

On the left and right sides of The Machine, they are also flying around certain pattern. In the left hall, they fly up and down of linear pattern while on the right hall, they fly left and right. The player is not intended to hit them but reach to the higher part of the hall. Otherwise hitting one Buster, Sonic will lose the momentum. The player has to schedule the shooting from the flipper to fly to a destination.

During the confrontation with the Veg-O Machine, the machine make animals coming from pipes into Busters, Krondors and Cluckbirds, which will fly out from the bottom hatch of the Veg-O Machine and block the pathway to animal pipes. By doing hit once into the Buster with Sonic being curling ball will free animal inside of it. In 8-bit version of the game, destroying one Buster will reward the player with 30,000 points.
