The Robohead is an enemy that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a mass-produced Badnik created by Dr. Robotnik that is modeled after the doctor himself during the Veg-O-Fortress incident.
Appearance[]
The Roboheads are round robots about the same height as Sonic the Hedgehog. Modeled after Dr. Robotnik's face, they are mostly yellow in color and feature Robotnik's moustache and his pince-nez black glasses that cover their eyes.
In Sonic Spinball (8-bit), the Roboheads look mostly the same, except that they are much smaller and red in color.
Overview[]
Four Roboheads inside the Roboiler, from the 16-bit version of Sonic Spinball.
In the 16-bit version of Sonic Spinball, the Roboheads are seen in Lava Powerhouse, hovering inside the Roboiler. In gameplay, the player must get inside the Roboiler in order to damage them. If hit, they will vomit lava. Each Robohead takes five hits to be destroyed. If one Robohead is destroyed, the rest of them will temporally vanish in order to protect themselves, forcing the player to get out the Roboiler. After all Roboheads are destroyed, the player will have cleared Lava Powerhouse.
In the 8-bit version of Sonic Spinball, only two Roboheads hover inside the Roboiler. However, if one of them is destroyed, the other one will not vanish, making it possible to destroy the two at the same time. Each individual Robohead grants 5,000 points upon destruction, and defeating both will give the player 1,000,000 points.[1]
Powers and abilities[]
While they do not have remarkable abilities, the Roboheads are able to float around in midair. They can also vomit lava.
