The mechanical fish (メカフィッシュ, Meka fisshu^?, lit. "Mecha fish") or Big Mecha fish (ビックメカフィッシュ, Bikku Meka fisshu^?) is an enemy that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a mass-produced, fish-based Badnik model created by Dr. Eggman.

Appearance

Mechanical fish are large black bass-like robots with turquoise armor. Physical traits each unit possess include thick purple lips, a dorsal fin, two pelvic fins and one tailfin. Each fin appendage has a yellow membrane and a blue spine. Big Mecha fish shares the same apprearance albeit being larger in terms of size.

Game appearances

Sonic Adventure

In Sonic Adventure, the Mechanical fish only appear in Big the Cat's version of Twinkle Park, Icecap and Emerald Coast. They also appear in various pools during Big's missions in Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut. Notably, the Big Mecha fish is only found in Twinkle Park.

Regular Mechanical fish usually weigh about between 600 - 1,600g, while Big Mecha fish weigh between 800 - 2,000g. Unlike other robot enemies in the game, mechanical fish cannot be destroyed, as the player's focus is on catching them by fishing. Catching a mechanical fish awards the player with points that depend on its weight.

Missions

The various missions that Big can find the mechanical fish include:

Mission	Description	Location	Objective
