Buzz Bombers are Eggman's primary air unit.


— Statue description, Sonic Dream Team

The Buzz Bomber[1] (ビートン[2] Bīton?, lit. "Beeton") is an enemy that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a mass-produced, bee-based Badnik model created by Dr. Eggman.

Buzz Bombers have several upgraded models based on them. Since the Buzz Bombers' first appearance, they have become one of the most common enemies in the Sonic series.

Appearance[]

The classic Buzz Bomber resembles a mechanical mud dauber with a black coloring around its spherical thorax. The stinger at the tip of its blue-striped abdomen is a rail detonator cannon, its primary weapon. Two mechanical devices resembling pale wings give it the ability to hover. Also, two engines are installed into the sides of this Badnik's thorax. Finally, the classic Buzz Bomber has a blue head with cartoony eyes, two mandibles and yellow antennae.

Starting with the Time Eater incident, the Buzz Bomber models were made more mechanically detailed, with four pink wings, cyan eyes, and a bendable bar between their thoraxes and abdomens. Sometimes, starting with the Lost Hex incident, the Buzz Bombers showed an appearance similar to the early models, but with more cartoonish designs.

During the War to Take Back the Planet, the Buzz Bombers received a more modernized and militaristic design. These models retained the typical Buzz Bombers' basic shape. However, their wings had become yellow, their abdomens had lost their stripes, and their thoraxes had become blue. They also had black heads with a single red eye each and small antenna.

Game appearances[]

Sonic the Hedgehog (1991)[]

Buzzbomber-sprite

In the 16-bit version of the original Sonic the Hedgehog, the Buzz Bombers[1] (ビートン[2] Bīton?, lit. "Beeton") are the most common enemies in the game, being featured in Green Hill Zone, Marble Zone and Spring Yard Zone.

In gameplay, Buzz Bombers fly alone or in a group from the side of the screen. When a Buzz Bomber targets the playable character, it will halt in mid-air, retract its stinger, and fire a rail detonator blast diagonally downward before flying away (only to make a reappearance from the opposite direction soon after). The player has to avoid projectiles and use the Spin Jump or Spin Attack to defeat them when the timing is right. Upon their defeat, they release an Animal and reward the player with 100 points.

In the 8-bit version, the Buzz Bombers are featured as enemies in Green Hill Zone and Bridge Zone. In gameplay, the have the same attack pattern as their 16-bit counterparts. Like many other Badniks in this version, they do not have Animals inside them. Regardless, upon their destruction, they reward the player with 100 points.

Sonic Chaos[]

Beeton Csprite

In Sonic Chaos, the Buzz Bombers were redesigned with plain stingers replacing their usual rail detonator projectiles. These variations appear as enemies in Turquoise Hill Zone, Gigalopolis Zone and Electric Egg Zone: These variations include black flying Buzz Bombers in Turquoise Hill Zone, similar gray flying Buzz Bombers found in Gigalopolis Zone, and stationary gray Buzz Bombers found in Electric Egg Zone. Their only attack patterns are touching the playable character, as they do not shoot projectiles like the common Buzz Bomber.

In the game's English manual for the Game Gear version, these enemies are simply called "bugs".[3] However, the Japanese version identifies them as "Beetons",[4] which is the Buzz Bombers' Japanese name. Other sources simply refer to these enemies as "Buzzes",[5] presumably due to their lack of bombing capabilities.

Sonic Spinball[]

Buzz Bomber is that you

In the 16-bit version of Sonic Spinball, the Buzz Bombers[6] closely resemble the Buzz-Bombers from the Sonic the Hedgehog television series. In gameplay, they hover around and block pathways in Showdown. They can be destroyed with one hit.

In the 8-bit version of Sonic Spinball, the Buzz Bombers, known as Wasps[7] in the Sega Game Gear version and Waspins[8] in the Master System version, look like their 16-bit counterparts. They are found in Final Showdown. They can be destroyed with one hit, and destroying one rewards the player with 80,000 points.

Sonic Adventure 2[]

In Sonic Adventure 2 and its enhanced port Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, the Buzz Bombers made an appearance as enemies in the extra stage, Green Hill. The appearance of the Buzz Bombers is almost identical to their original appearance but is more cubic.

In gameplay, these Badniks mostly act like how they did in their first appearance. Upon their destruction, they will also release an Animal.

Sonic and the Black Knight[]

In Sonic and the Black Knight, the Buzz Bombers appear among the winning fan art presented in the game.

Sonic Generations[]

In the console/PC version of Sonic Generations, Buzz Bombers from somewhere across spacetime appear as enemies. In these games, they were given a more mechanical-looking design. The player encounters the Buzz Bombers alongside the yellow Buzzers in Green Hill.

In gameplay, Buzz Bombers, which are more uncommon than Buzzers, simply fly towards the player without launching any attack. Outside the main Acts, there are also giant purple, indestructible Buzz Bombers in the Knuckles: Horde of Enemies Challenge Act. These Buzz Bombers cannot hurt Sonic, nor do they attempt to attack him, but they can propel Sonic high into the air if they are struck by an attack from a certain height, which is useful during these Buzz Bombers' Challenge Act. A statue of the purple Buzz Bomber can also be unlocked in the Statue Room.

Sonic Lost World[]

Buzz-Bomber-Sonic-Lost-World-Wii-U

A chain of Buzz Bombers, from the Wii U version of Sonic Lost World.

In the Wii U version, PC version, and Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Lost World, blue Buzz Bombers appear as enemies. In these games however, they were given a more comical design reminiscent of their appearance in the original Sonic the Hedgehog. During the game, the Badniks, Buzz Bombers included, got hijacked by the Deadly Six when they turned against Eggman and used to attack him under the Deadly Six's orders. When that happened, a few of them got destroyed by Sonic. One Buzz Bomber managed to injure Tails though, which made Sonic retreat with Tails.

On the Wii U version of the game, the player encounters the Buzz Bombers in Desert Ruins Zone 1 and 3, Tropical Coast Zone 1 and 3, Silent Forest Zone 4, Sky Road Zone ?, and Lava Mountain Zone 2. On the Nintendo 3DS version of the game, the player encounters them in Windy Hill Tutorial, Windy Hill Zone 1, 2 and 3, Desert Ruins Zone 1 and 3, Frozen Factory Zone 2 and 3, Silent Forest Zone 1, 2 and 3, and Sky Road Zone 1 and 3. In the game's Speed Race mode, Buzz Bombers are also found in Desert Ruins Zone 4.

In gameplay, the Buzz Bombers either just fly around or float stationary in one place from where they shoot lasers at the player whenever they spot the playable character. Like in earlier games, the Buzz Bombers release Animals when defeated. Sometimes, the Buzz Bombers also appears in chains with Spinners which the player can use to skip across with the Homing Attack.

Sonic Mania[]

SMBuzzBomber

In Sonic Mania, and its expansion Sonic Mania Plus, Buzz Bombers are enemies found in both Acts of Green Hill Zone. In gameplay, Buzz Bombers fly alone or in a group from the side of the screen. When they find the playable character, they will halt in mid-air, retract their stingers, and fire a projectile diagonally downward before flying away. These projectiles can be deflected by using Shield-derived power-ups or through Mighty's Spin Attack. The player is able to destroy Buzz Bombers by attacking them with a Spin Attack-related move. Upon their destruction, they will release an Animal and award the player with 100 points.

Sonic Forces[]

in Sonic Forces, the Buzz Bombers appear as enemies. In this game, they were completely redesigned to have modernized, militaristic looks. The player encounters them in Lost Valley, Spaceport, Ghost Town, Prison Hall, Egg Gate, Arsenal Pyramid, Luminous Forest, Green Hill, Park Avenue, Capital City, Guardian Rock, Network Terminal, Death Egg, Metropolitan Highway and Mortar Canyon.

In gameplay, the Buzz Bombers exhibit two distinct attack patterns. In some sections, they simply hover in midair, never moving from their spot. When they see the playable character however, they will start taking shots at them. In other sections, the Buzz Bombers will fly forward until they spot the playable character, upon which they will stop in midair to shoot at them, much like in the original Sonic the Hedgehog.

During the boss battle with Zavok, yellow and orange versions of the Buzz Bombers appear. These enemies will appear around the boss area, where they will flying into the player. Upon colliding with something or getting hit by Zavok however, they will be destroyed.

Sonic Frontiers[]

Crabmeats-Buzz-Bomber-Cyber-Space-Sonic-Frontiers

In Sonic Frontiers, Buzz Bombers, along with Buzzers, appear as enemies exclusively in Cyber Space stages. With their appearance taken from console/PC version of Sonic Generations, Buzz Bombers are an uncommon sight out of the two bee-like Badniks, as they are encountered in Cyber Space stages 1-4, 1-6, 2-2, 3-6 and 4-3. Either found stationary in the mid-air or hovering back and forth at low speed, Buzz Bombers don't fire projectiles when Sonic is near close to them compared to Buzzers, much like in Sonic Generations.

The player can defeat Buzz Bomber with one hit despite of multiple hit points, while sometimes they are required to be taken down in groups by using Homing Attack to reach another section of the stage. Because of being digital replicas of Badniks in Cyber Space, Buzz Bombers are disintegrated into the air in after one hit without containing Animals inside them.

Sonic Superstars[]

SuperstarsBuzzBomberScr

Buzz Bombers reappear in Sonic Superstars, where they can be found in Bridge Island Zone, with pixelated Buzz Bombers also appearing in Cyber Station Zone as well. Unlike in previous titles, instead of shooting small projectiles, the Buzz Bombers now shoot a singular deadly laser before flying away. The only way to destroy the Buzz Bomber is to attack it before it attempts to fly away, which doing so will also stop the Buzz Bomber's laser attack in the process. Like other Badniks, the Buzz Bombers drop an Animal and 100 points upon being destroyed.

Additionally, during the game's opening animation, a Buzz Bomber also appears alongside a Batbrain and a Crawlshell in an attempt to harm a Flicky, a Cucky, and a Pocky. Unfortunately for the Badniks, Sonic swiftly speeds in to destroy them. Later in said animation, another Buzz Bomber and Crawlshell would be destroyed by Amy's Piko Piko Hammer in Pinball Carnival Zone.

When a Buzz Bomber targets the playable character, it will halt in mid-air, retract its stinger, and fire a rail detonator blast diagonally downward before flying away (only to make a reappearance from the opposite direction soon after). The player has to avoid projectiles and use the Spin Jump or Spin Attack to defeat them when the timing is right. Upon their defeat, they release a Ricky and reward the player with 100 points.

Sonic Jump (2012)[]

In the 2012 version of Sonic Jump, yellow and orange variations of the Buzz Bombers appeared at Green Hill Zone. In gameplay, these Badniks act much like their yellow variations did in Sonic Generations, namely by shooting energy projectiles from their stingers. However, they can easily be destroyed by jumping into them from below.

Mario & Sonic series[]

Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games[]

As the player plays out the Ski Jumping Large Hill event, they have to take notice of the midair formations the Buzz Bombers and Paratroopas progressively assume in midair on the way down. The longer the player stays in midair, the closer the Buzz Bombers and Paratroopas will get to completing their formation. After the player has landed, they must then identify the formation the Buzz Bombers and Paratroopas were trying to assume out from four answer options.

Here, they have their sprite-based appearance from the original Sonic the Hedgehog. During the "Tokyo Sly Flight" mini-game, they come in two variants. First, there are the standard blue Buzz Bombers that fly towards the player from one side of the screen and gradually fire at the playable characters before then flying away. Lastly, there are the yellow Buzz Bombers that only fly a short distance away from the right side of the screen before quickly retreating. As the player progresses through the mini-game however, the Buzz Bombers will appear from more random directions and attack more relentlessly; the blue Buzz Bombers, for example, will gradually go from appearing from the right side of the screen and not attacking at all to appearing from both sides of the screen and firing rapid shots at the playable characters in quick succession. Regardless of their behavior, the Buzz Bombers are easily destroyed with one gunshot from the Tornado.

Some Buzz Bombers come equipped with Bumper shields that can protect them from the Tornado's gunshots. However, they can be knocked away with the Tornado's shockwave attack. Also, upon destroying a Buzz Bomber, the player receives points; blue Buzz Bombers grant 100 points each while yellow Buzz Bombers grant 500 points each.
