Additionally, in the lower part of the The Machine, Busters (or Krondors) block the small opening of the rotating transport tube.
The Busters also appear during the confrontation with the Veg-O Machine. Here, the machine will turn the animals coming from the pipes into Busters, Krondors and Cluckbirds, which will fly out from the bottom hatch of the Veg-O Machine and block the pathway to the animal pipes.
To destroy a Buster, the player has to hit it while Sonic is in curled into a ball by launching him with a Flipper, which will free animal inside. In the 8-bit version of the game, destroying a Buster will reward the player with 30,000 points.
