A 6-round short-range launcher


— Description, Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclo-speed-ia[1]

The Bazooka[1][2] (バズーカ砲[3] Bazūka-Hō?, lit. "Bazooka Gun") is an object that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a cannon-type weapon usable by both enemies and the player.

Description[]

The Bazooka is a long, tube-shaped gray weapon with a dark gray barrel opening and rear, a grip on the bottom, and a fixed, square-shaped, digital front sight to provide extra accuracy while aiming. It also has a yellow stripe around the barrel and an instrument pad on one side. As per its design, the Bazooka can fire powerful projectiles.

Overview[]

Shadow Canyon 08

Shadow wielding a Bazooka, from Shadow the Hedgehog.

In gameplay of Shadow the Hedgehog, the Bazookas can only be found in certain stages. They can be wielded by GUN Soldiers, who will use them against the player.

Bazookas can be dropped by defeated GUN Soldiers that wield them or released from breakable Containers. Touching one will make the playable character pick it up automatically, and pressing SNNBGAMECUBEDISCO/Square/XboxX (whether on the ground or in mid-air) while using the crosshair to aim will fire it. As a cannon, the Bazooka can eliminate surrounding obstacles and enemies with an explosion from its short-ranged missiles, which will fly indefinitely if they do not hit anything. Rather powerful, it is one of the most efficient weapons in the game, but the speed of its shots is low. A Bazooka has a total of six shots, and once those run out, it becomes useless. However, it can be reloaded with another six shots by picking up another Bazooka.
