The Scorpy[note 1] is an enemy that appears in Sonic 3D Blast. It is a mass-produced, scorpion-based Badnik created by Dr. Robotnik.
Appearance
The Scorpies resemble metallic red scorpions with purple joints.
Overview
Scorpies are encountered exclusively in Volcano Valley Zone. In gameplay, they simply shuffle back and forth along a straight diagonal line. They have no active defensive or offensive techniques, so the only way these bots can hurt Sonic is if the hedgehog bumps right into it.
These Badniks can easily be destroyed with a Spin Attack, Spin Dash or Spin Jump. Upon their destruction, they release their respective power source, a red Flicky, which can be picked up by Sonic.
Notes
- ↑ This Badnik was given no official name upon or after the release of Sonic 3D Blast. However, its name was revealed in the Debug Mode for the unofficial Sonic 3D Blast: Director's Cut video game developed by Jon Burton, the lead programmer of the Genesis version of Sonic 3D Blast. When asked about its validity, Burton confirmed that this Badnik's name was used in the original game.
