Star Pointer

Useless. Star pointer is an orbinaut. Star Pointer (アイスダス) is a hovering sphere badnik from the Ice Cap Zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 3. It is similar to Orbinaut, but the four balls spinning around its central sphere are made of ice.

The Star Pointer slowly moves around, and when it sees Sonic, Tails or Knuckles it slowly fires off its four balls of sharp ice one at a time. It's useful to have a Lightning Shield on you when you're near this badnik, as the ice balls will disintegrate when they come in contact with the shield. To destroy the lone sphere that's left, just jump on it.
