The Barrel Thrower is based on a sea lion. These Badniks have an orange and gray body, and four flippers. They also have a white snout and a round black nose they balance their barrels on.
Overview[]
In Sonic Superstars, the Barrel Throwers appear in Pinball Carnival Zone and Lagoon City Zone. In gameplay, the Barrel Throwers are stationary Badniks that sit in place, usually at the top of a slope, while they continuously toss barrels in one direction. While the regular barrels that the Barrel Thrower throws can be destroyed with any attack, occasionally, the Barrel Thrower will throw flaming barrels which will harm the player upon contact no matter what. Despite this, the Barrel Throwers have no other means of defending themselves, making them susceptible to any of the player's attacks. Like most Badniks in the game, the Barrel Thrower will release their Animal and award the player 100 points upon destruction.
Additionally, two Barrel Throwers briefly appear in the game's opening animation. The first one appears towards the beginning of the animation, as Sonic speedily destroys it alongside a Crawlshell and a Crabmeat in Bridge Island Zone, whereas the second one is punched and destroyed by Knuckles in Pinball Carnival Zone.
