Revision as of 22:01, 31 October 2019

You may be looking for Bombat or Batbot.

The Batbrain[1] (バサラン[2] Basaran?) is an enemy in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. They are a mass-produced, bat-based Badnik model created by Dr. Eggman. Batbrains hang in dark caves, waiting for its victim to get below it and then attack from above.

Appearance

Batbrain, as its name implies, is a robotic bat with wings stretched over their bodies, showing only the tip of their blue head. Firm claws ensure the Badnik stays on the ceiling and it has an engine on its back for propulsion. Its wings, feet and engine are metallic gray in color, while its body is dark blue. In Sonic Lost World, Batbrains also have small mouths with tiny fangs.

Game appearances

Sonic the Hedgehog (1991)

Basaran

The Batbrains made their first appearance in the 16-bit version of Sonic the Hedgehog. They can be found in the cavern sections of Marble Zone.

In gameplay, Batbrains hang on a ceiling, waiting for a target. When Sonic is spotted, they drop from their roost, unfold their wings, and flap towards him to cause damage upon touch. They will cling onto another ceiling if they fail to do any damage.

Batbrains do not pose a huge threat and are easily dispatched before or after their landing with a Spin Jump. Upon their destruction, they release an Animal. However, they can easily get in the player's way, especially in challenging platforming sections.

Sonic Jump (2012)

In the 2012 remake of Sonic Jump, Batbrains can be found in Blue Sky Zone. In this game, they act like they did in the original Sonic the Hedgehog, hanging from platforms and clouds below until they drop down and start flying at the player when the playable character gets close to them. These badniks can only be defeated by jumping into their underside.

Sonic Lost World

Batbrains made a reappearance in Sonic Lost World. During the game, it turns out that the Badniks, including the Batbrains, got hijacked by the Deadly Six.

In gameplay, the Batbrains appear in Windy Hill Zone 3 in the Wii U/PC version, and Windy Hill Zone 2 in the Nintendo 3DS version. Unlike in previous games though, Batbrains here attack in groups. They are located in the tubular sections where they hang from a surface until they drop down to attack the player. They can be defeated with any kind of attack.

Sonic Mania

SMBatBrain

In Sonic Mania, and its expansion Sonic Mania Plus, the Batbrains appear as enemies. Their design is exactly the same as in the original Sonic the Hedgehog. In these games, they are only encountered in both Acts of Green Hill Zone.

In gameplay, like in their debut appearance, they are found in the underground areas where they hang suspended from the ceiling. Once the playable characters get close, they will swoop down at them. Also, upon their destruction, they release an Animal.

Powers and abilities

Thanks to their wings and rocket thrusters, the Batbrains are capable of flight.
