Being Badniks that are based on ocean sunfishes, the Manbous are mainly colored blue with white underbellies, a large dorsal fin and anal fins. They also have orange snorkel mouths, a small periscope on their head, round plates on each side of their body, and an orange propeller engine on their rear.
Overview[]
In the Wii U and PCversion of Sonic Lost World, the Manbous appear as enemies. In gameplay, they are only found in the underwater sections of Tropical CoastZone 1. When the player swims through these sections using the Yellow Drill, the Manbous will initially float in stationary positions. However, when spotting the player, the Manbous begin moving in lateral directions while carrying a line of sea mines known as Kiaris right behind them in an attempt to damage the player.
While using the Yellow Drill, the player can easily destroy a Manbou by dashing through them, although the player should also avoid getting hit by their Kiaris when doing so as well. Like with most Badniks in the game, the Manbous will release an Animal upon their destruction.
Trivia[]
Like with many new enemies in Sonic Lost World, the Manbou's name has not been listed in any official source. Instead, it is referred to as "manbou" in the game's source code.
The Manbou's name comes from the Japanese word for the ocean sunfish, "manbou" (็ฟป่ป้ญ,"manbou"?).
