The Yukigasen[1] (ユキガセン[2]?) is an enemy that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a mass-produced, snowman-based Badnik created by Dr. Eggman.

Appearance[]

Yukigasen

The Yukigasens are Badniks that resemble snowmen, with them being comprised of two snowballs (with one as a body and the other one as a head). The Yukigasens also have two yellow button-like eyes, a red scarf, a small hatch on the lower portion of their body, and a singular gray arm that they use to chuck snowballs at their foes.

Overview[]

The Yukigasens make their only appearance in Sonic Advance 3, where they appear exclusively in Twinkle Snow. In gameplay, the Yukigasens are stationary Badniks that attack the player by lobbing snowballs that inflict damage upon impact. Their snowballs can also travel pretty far and fast, meaning the player's best option in order to avoid the Yukigasens is to jump in time to avoid the snowballs. Like most Badniks, the Yukigasens can be easily destroyed via any attack method, where upon their destruction they will release a Ring.
