The Star Pointer slowly moves around and when it sees the player, it slowly fires off its four balls of sharp ice one at a time. It's useful to have an elemental shield on when this badnik is near the player, as ice balls will disintegrate when they come in contact with the shield. The player can also go through the ice spikes to defeat the Star Pointer directly by using [[Insta-Shield]] at the right timing, with Knuckles, he can simply glide into them. |
