The Bu-Bus are Badniks based on piggy banks, having four wheels as feet and having the overall appearance of an average pig. Like piggy banks, the Bu-Bus have a massive hole on their back in order to store their stolen Rings.
Overview[]
The Bu-Bus make their only appearance in Sonic Advance 3, where they appear exclusively in Toy Kingdom. In gameplay, they simply move back and forth without attempting to attack the player. However, should the player take damage and drop their Rings near a Bu-Bu, all of said Rings will be sucked into the Bu-Bu. If the player does not destroy the Bu-Bu fast enough, then the Rings they stole will become impossible to regain. Regardless, like every Badnik in the game, the Bu-Bus will still drop a Ring upon destruction.
Bu-Bu's name is Japanese for "oink”, which fits this badnik because it looks like a piggy bank.
In Sonic Superstars, the Golden Capital Zone mini-boss shares many traits with Bu-Bus, being based on piggy banks, stealing Rings from the player, and returning them upon destruction.
