The Zombie Orbinaut[1] is an enemy that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. They are an Orbinaut variant comprised of destroyed Badnik parts that are reanimated by the Big Squeeze.

Appearance[]

The Zombie Orbinauts function like most Orbinauts, although they use a broken Tubinaut model as their body and Rattlekiller segments as their weapons. Additionally, the Zombie Orbinauts only have one eye, with only a black space where the other eye should be.

Overview[]

Eggcrushx

A Zombie Orbinaut being summoned during Big Squeeze's fight in Sonic Mania

During the boss fight, the Big Squeeze will summon Zombie Orbinauts repeatedly. Once being created, the Zombie Orbinauts start to follow the player and try to damage them with their rotating Rattlekiller segments. The player can destroy the Zombie Orbinauts to make it easier for them to hit the Big Squeeze. However, each Zombie Orbinaut destroyed makes the compactors on both sides get closer to each other. While destroying a Zombie Orbinaut does not drop any Animals (likely due to them being made up of already destroyed Badnik parts), they still drop 100 points when being destroyed (making them still count as player kills).

Once the player defeats Big Squeeze, any remaining Zombie Orbinauts will also subsequently be destroyed as well (though they do not give any points or count as player kills when this happens).

Powers and abilities[]

Like most Orbinauts, the Zombie Orbinaut has the ability to levitate and use spiked projectiles (these being Rattlekiller segments) as a means of both defense and offense, having the segments levitate around their bodies in a clockwise formation.
