The Bunny[note 1] is an enemy that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a mass-produced, rabbit-based Badnik model created by Dr. Robotnik.
Appearance[]
The Bunnies are Badnik models that look like rabbits. They each have a yellow body with purple accents, two cartoonish black eyes, and a couple of spikes around them. Their legs also rest on a purple pogo stick which they use to move around by jumping.
Overview[]
In Sonic 3D Blast, the Bunnies are encountered exclusively as enemies in Diamond Dust Zone. In gameplay, They bounce erratically around their designated areas. They do not have any attacks to use against Sonic directly. As such, they can only harm Sonic by bumping directly into him. However, they still pose a threat; when Sonic gets close enough, they will direct their jumps towards him.
These Badniks can easily be destroyed with a Spin Attack, Spin Dash or Spin Jump. Upon their destruction, they release their respective power source, a purple Flicky, which can be picked up by Sonic.
A single Bunny also appears in the opening sequence of the Sega Saturn version of Sonic 3D Blast, where it is destroyed by Sonic.
Powers and abilities[]
Thanks to their pogo sticks, the Bunnies can make adequate jumps.
Trivia[]
- The Bunnies are the second Badniks in the Sonic the Hedgehog series to wield pogo-sticks, the first one being Frogger.
Notes[]
- โ This Badnik was given no official name upon or after the release of Sonic 3D Blast. However, its name was revealed in the Debug Mode for the unofficial Sonic 3D Blast: Director's Cut video game developed by Jon Burton, the lead programmer of the Genesis version of Sonic 3D Blast. When asked about its validity, Burton confirmed that this Badnik's name was used in the original game.
