The Mini Ptera Mecha is directly based on a pterosaur. These Badniks have a small orange and gray body, a triangular head with large eyes, and triangular gray and orange hinged wings.
Overview[]
In Sonic Superstars, the Mini Ptera Mechas appear as standard enemies in Frozen Base Zone Act Tails. In gameplay, the Mini Ptera Mechas fly back and forth until they spot the player. Once they spot the player, the Mini Ptera Mechas will accelerate into a dive towards the player's direction in an attempt to hit them. Despite this, the Mini Ptera Mechas can still be easily destroyed via any basic attacks. Like most Badniks in the game, the Mini Ptera Mecha will release their Animal and award the player 100 points upon destruction.
In addition to their appearance as standard enemies, the Mini Ptera Mechas also appear during the mini-boss of Frozen Base Zone Act 1. During the battle, one of the attacks the mini-boss will do is summon several Mini Ptera Mechas to dive bomb into the player to make it more tricky to harm the boss itself. However, if the player attacks the mini-boss at any point during the fight, any Mini Ptera Mechas onscreen will also subsequently be destroyed (though they do not release an Animal or award the player points unless the player destroys the Badniks themselves).
Powers and abilities[]
The Mini Ptera Mechas can not only fly thanks to their wings, but they can also speed into a midair dive in the player's direction, traveling in a straight line at quick speeds.
Trivia[]
The Mini Ptera Mechas share a very similar name to another pterodactyl-based Badnik named Ptera, a Badnik that appears in Sonic Rush Adventure. Despite this, it is unknown if the Mini Ptera Mechas are meant to be variants of the Ptera (as Sonic Superstars takes place long before Sonic Rush Adventure).
Interestingly enough, the Mini Ptera Mechas that appear during the Frozen Base Zone mini-boss are called EneBos010Minion in the files of Sonic Superstars (likely due to having different attack behaviors during the fight).
