Being based on insects, the Sentry Bugs have butterfly-like, dark green bodies, as well as a yellow seam running down the middle of their abdomens with black square-like designs along the side of their bodies. They also have two yellow spikes at either side of their heads and what appears to be a red spike running down their backs. Additionally, the Sentry Bugs have two propellers as wings.
Overview[]
In Sonic Mania, and its expansion Sonic Mania Plus, the Sentry Bugs appear as enemies in both Acts of Titanic Monarch Zone. In gameplay, they hover around a small area. However, once the player gets too close to a Sentry Bug, it will send out six flying drones that will follow the player around while forming a 3D polygonal laser grid around them. This grid will then close in around the playable character for a few seconds until it is at the size of the character, in which the explosive drones will explode and damage the player. However, if the player either gets too far away from the Sentry Bug or destroys it, its explosives will deactivate. Like with most Badniks, the Sentry Bug can be easily destroyed via any attack method, where upon their destruction they will release an Animal and award the player 100 points.
Powers and abilities[]
With the aid of their propellers, the Sentry Bugs are capable of flight. They can also deploy orb-shaped flying explosive drones[1] that are able to work in coordination with each other by first encircling their target and then closing in on it from all angles for an unavoidable assault strike.
