- Not to be confused with Sonic Blitz.
The Blitz[1] is an enemy that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a mass-produced, turret-based Badnik created by Dr. Eggman.
Appearance[]
Being a Badnik that resembles an olive colored turret, the Blitz is equipped with four support legs, a canister-like body with green and pink colored lights on that resemble "eyes," and a rectangular gray six-barreled missile launcher attached to its right side that it uses to launch missiles at its foes.
Overview[]
A Blitz firing missiles, from Knuckles' Chaotix.
The Blitz makes their only appearance in Knuckles' Chaotix, where they appear exclusively as enemies in Techno Tower. In gameplay, the Blitz remain entirely stationary, but will lock-on to the playable character when they enter their range. Once the Blitz spots the playable characters, they will begin repeatedly firing bursts of six homing missiles at them (with these missiles also being able to pass through solid walls as well) until the playable characters either exit the range of these Badniks or destroy them using any attack method. Like with most Badniks in the game, the Blitz will release a Dark Ring upon their destruction.
Powers and abilities[]
Due to their turret-like design, the Blitzes are capable of rapidly firing homing missiles in bursts of six that lock onto their targets over small distances. Despite this, the Blitzes are completely stationary Badniks similarly to actual sentry turrets, making them unable to react to oncoming attacks from their foes.
