The Technosqueek (チューチュー, Chūchū^?, lit. "Chu-Chu"), alternatively spelled TechnoSqueek, is an enemy that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a mass-produced, mouse-based Badnik model created by Dr. Robotnik.

Appearance

Technosqueeks are based on mice, although their general design bears a close resemblance to a blue computer mouse. They have a short tail, an orange stripe around their lower half, and a pair of black eyes on the grey areas up front that resemble buttons on a computer mouse.

Game appearances

Sonic & Knuckles

In Sonic & Knuckles, and the lock-on game Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Technosqueeks appear in Flying Battery Zone where they quickly move back and forth on the floor, walls and ceilings without using any attacks against the player. The player can easily defeat these Badniks with a Spin Jump or Spin Attack. Doing so will release the Animals inside of them and award the player with 100 points.

Sonic Mania

In Sonic Mania, and its expansion Sonic Mania Plus, the Technosqueeks return as enemies. In terms of design, they look exactly like they did in Sonic & Knuckles. In these games, they are encountered in both Acts of Flying Battery Zone.

In gameplay, Technosqueeks attack by moving along the floors/walls/ceiling, just like in their debut appearance. Additionally, they can move on the surface of the scrapheaps in the Flying Battery Zone, unlike the playable characters who instantly sink into them. Also, when destroying a Technosqueek, it will release an Animal.

Powers and abilities

Technosqueeks can stick to virtually any surface and travel on it with ease.

Merchandise

In The Flying Battery Zone Playset by Jakks Pacific, Technosqueek are one of the play features being able to move them up and down a wall.

Trivia

• The Technosqueek's Japanese name "Chu-chu" is Japanese for "squeak".
