Appearance [ ]
The Gaogaos are Badniks that are based on toy lions , having orange bodies, two wheels underneath them for movement, and a wind-up key on their back. The faces of these Badniks also heavily resemble masks as well.
Overview [ ]
The Gaogaos make their only appearance in Sonic Advance 3 , where they appear exclusively in Toy Kingdom . In gameplay, the Gaogaos simply move back and forth. Howeverr, if the player attempts to attack the Gaogao's face with any frontal attack, they will bounce right off them. As such, the only way to destroy this Badnik is by attacking it from behind. Upon destruction, a Gaogao will release a Ring .
