Kabasiras are small, rather creepy-looking, insect-based Badniks. They each have a round, gray body with a pair of small wings, cartoonish black eyes and a red nose. While flying, they create a trail consisting of a few after-images which follow their movements, which makes it look as if there are a swarm of them.
In gameplay, Kabasiras normally fly up and down in one place within their designated area while circling and turning. When the player approaches however, they will fire an afterimage of themselves, which will move in a straight line, in the playable character's direction. This afterimage cannot change its trajectory despite appearing autonomous. Also, while the after-image can damage the playable character, it can be intercepted in mid-air with the Spin Jump without causing the character damage.
In the bad future, and, sometimes, in the present timeline of Stardust Speedway, the Kabasiras will not show apparent decay, thus remaining pristine in appearance, unlike other Badniks. However, these Kabasiras do fly slower despite continuing to move around in a circular motion and cannot fire their afterimages at the playable character. These Badniks can easily be defeated with a simple Spin Jump. Also, like every Badnik in the game, they are powered by Little Planet flower seeds which will pop out of them after they are defeated.
Sonic Mania[]
In Sonic Mania, an its expansion Sonic Mania Plus, Kabasiras are enemies found in both Acts of Stardust Speedway Zone. In gameplay, they normally fly up and down in one place. When the player approaches however, they will fire an afterimage in the playable character's direction. In addition, the Kabasira afterimages will fly straight at the playable character and explode on contact. Both the afterimages and the Kabasiras themselves can easily be destroyed by the player by attacking them with a Spin Attack-related move. Destroying a Kabasira will also release the Animal inside of it and award the player with 100 points.
Powers and abilities[]
Kabasiras are capable of flight and can produce physical duplicates of themselves which they can use as projectiles.
Trivia[]
Kabasira (蚊柱,Kabasira?) is the Japanese word for "mosquito column" or "swarm".
