Overview[]

Nezus in narrow Remote Robot tunnels in Volcanic Tunnel.
In Tails Adventure, Nezus appear as enemies. They are encountered in teh cave areas of Volcanic Tunnel, Cavern Island and Polly Mountain 2.
In gameplay, Nezus usually stand still in one spot, but they start waddeling towards Tails once he gets close to them. They do not start moving if Tails flies over them though. As they move towards Tails, they will stop and place tiny a bomb on the path right in front of Tails before retreating back to their previous position. While posing litte threat to Tails himself, many Nezus are placed in tricky sections or inside narrow tunnels which only Remote Robot can access. Regardless, the player can destroy a Nezu with only one hit from any type of weapon in the game. Notably, they are easily defeated by flying over them and dropping bombs down on them or by throwing bombs at them from afar, as they do not start moving towards Tails if he does not get close enough.
Like several other enemies in Tails Adventure, the Nezus may drop a Ring upon being defeated.
Powers and abilities[]
Nezus possess an endless supply of tiny bombs which they can deploy.
Trivia[]
