Snake

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

Appearance
The Snake resembles both the Caterkiller from original Sonic the Hedgehog and having similar pattern comparing to the Sandworm from Sonic & Knuckles.

Overview
Snakes are encountered exclusively in Green Grove Zone. A leaping enemy, they spend much of their time underground, but the spot where they will pop up are easily identified in the form of two dark pits which they jump between.

Attempting to defeat a Snake with a Spin Jump while it is in the air may prove difficult; if the player mis-times the leap, Sonic can end up taking damage by hitting the Snake's spiked body. A more cunning method is to charge up a Spin Dash right on top of the hole; the Snake will dive right into the spinning hedgehog and be destroyed. Upon this Badnik's destruction, it releases its power source, a Flicky, which can be picked up by Sonic.
