The Guard Badniks resemble that of an old-fashioned toy soldier, with humanoid bodies, red shirts, red clown-like noses, and large bearskin caps. The Guards also carry large trumpets as well, which they use as weapons.
Overview[]
The Guards make their only appearance in Sonic Advance 3, where they appear exclusively in Toy Kingdom. In gameplay, the Guards march back and forth in groups of three. Occasionally, they will attack by shooting energy balls from their trumpets in an arc in the direction they are facing. Like most Badniks, the Guards can be easily destroyed via any attack method. Upon their destruction, the Guards will release a Ring.
When going up against the Egg Cube, Dr. Eggman will toss Guards onto the arena in order to block the player's way. Unlike the Guards encountered in the main level however, these Guards do not attack the player, and will not release a Ring when destroyed. They also will bounce off the ground once before falling down from the arena and off the screen. In addition, the closer the Egg Cube is forced to the right edge of the arena, the more frequently Dr. Eggaman will deploy Guards.

Books and comics[]
IDW Publishing[]
In the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by IDW Publishing, during Sonic, Tails, and Belle's attempt to escape the Eggperial City, a group of patrolling Guards would approach Tails and Belle as they tried to steal an aircraft from a hangar. However, due to her being created by Eggman, the Guards ignored Belle, allowing for them to be ambushed and destroyed by Tails.[3]
Sometime later, the Guards were among the many Badniks that attended Orbot and Cubot's Winter Jam reality show.[4]
