Satellite

The Satellite^[1] is an object that appears in Sonic Adventure and its remake, Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut. It is an egg-shaped device with the ability to release cool air.

Description

Appearance

The Satellite is a small egg-shaped device with three horns sticking out of its head. The lower part of its frame is enveloped in a white cover. Once the Satellite is activated, the white cover opens up and begins to spread cool jet stream beneath it.

Features and abilities

Sonic Adventure DX 2016-08-10 15-59-42-668 — Two Satellites freezing Sonic.

The Satellite is capable of hovering in midair. Like a timed bomb, it can create a cool stream of air beneath them after being deployed which can freeze nearby targets sold almost instantly. Due to its small size, the Satellite is a very weak device.

Overview

In Sonic Adventure, the Satellite is used by Dr. Eggman against Sonic and Knuckles during their battle against Chaos 6. When Eggman drops his creations on the battle arena, they will activate and hover until a certain point, at which they start to create cool air.

If the playable characters comes in contact with the Satellite's stream, he will be frozen. If the player manage to hit them though, the Satellites will be temporary paralyzed and can be grabbed. They must then be thrown into Chaos 6's mouth in order to freeze the monster for a short time. If Chaos 6 absorbs it with its Inhale Attack, it will be frozen too, but if the Satellite makes contact with Chaos' body, it will be destroyed without freezing Chaos.
