''[[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' variation of Coconuts appears as fourth stage's opponent in both 16-bit and 8-bit version of ''[[Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine]]''. Like in the cartoon, he claims to be doctor's favorite and is ready to finish off the player in flash. As the 16-bit version of the game is basically western edition of ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puyo_Puyo Puyo Puyo]'', Coconuts plays like Harpy as they both happen to stack their blobs to the sides.

===Personality===
 
Coconuts has more depth personality in ''Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog'' series and ''Archie Comics'', as he is grumpy, cynical and obsessive over proving himself better than [[Scratch]] and [[Grounder (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|Grounder]]. He has a lot of tenacity and doesn't back down easily, and has oftentimes proven himself the smartest of the three bots, even managing to actually capture Sonic on more than one occasion. He despises his role as Robotnik's janitor.

[[File:Coconuts_3.png|thumb|200px|Coconuts in ''[[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]''.]]
Coconuts is featured more prominently on the animated series ''[[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' while also having slightly different appearance. Coconuts' voice was provided by [[Ian James Corlett]] who gave a New Jersey accent for the character.
 
  +
In the ''[[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' television series, Coconuts is one of the main antagonists in the show, though not appearing as frequently as [[Scratch]] or [[Grounder (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|Grounder]]. In this media, he is one of [[Doctor Ivo Robotnik (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|Dr. Ivo Robotnik]]'s Badniks, but had been demoted to the janitor of the doctor's headquarters. Furious over his low status, his primary goal was to capture [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|Sonic the Hedgehog]] in hopes of earning a promotion from Robotnik. Whenever he appeared, he would usually attempt to go after Sonic himself and make sure that Scratch and Grounder did not beat him to the punch, but would ultimately fail every time.
 
He had been demoted to [[Doctor Ivo Robotnik (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|Dr. Robotnik]]'s janitor, a position he was not very happy with, so he wants to capture [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|Sonic]], hoping that doing so will earn him a promotion. Even though he was seen in the show's introduction sequence, Coconuts did not appear as regularly as fellow Badniks [[Scratch]] and [[Grounder (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|Grounder]]. Whenever he did appear, he would usually attempt to go after Sonic himself and make sure that Scratch and Grounder did not beat him to the punch; however, they did team up to go after Sonic on occasion. In the episode "[[Super Robotnik (episode)|Super Robotnik]]", he got his wish for a promotion (to First Lieutenant) when an accident of his led to Robotnik acquiring [[Wikipedia:Superpower (ability)|superpowers]], with the added bonus of Scratch and Grounder getting demoted, though he lost it when Sonic defeated Robotnik and used a serum designed by [[Professor Von Schlemmer]] to depower Robotnik.
 
 
Despite his low status and general disrespect by his peers, Coconuts has proven he is much smarter than Scratch and Grounder, often being the only one to see through Sonic's disguises. His plans also seem to almost succeed until Scratch and Grounder come along and screw things up. Coconuts also has some tools like in episode 44 where he had scissors to cut the rope (because he was trapped.)
 
 
While Dr. Robotnik, Scratch, and Grounder were drawn differently on the show than in the games (except in ''Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine''). the ''AoStH'' version of Coconuts looks similar enough to his video game counterpart. The most noticeable difference between the two is that the animated Coconuts has a light bulb on his head,his silver-grey body and his black dot eyes
 
 
===''Sonic the Hedgehog (Comic Series)''===
 
[[File:Vol-4-Coconuts.png|thumb|left|150px|Coconuts' Profile from [[Archie Sonic Archives Volume 4|Sonic Archives Volume 4]]]]
 
The cartoon variation of Coconuts also appeared occasionally in the early issues of [[Archie Comics|Archie's]] [[Sonic the Hedgehog (comics)|Sonic the Hedgehog]] comics, making his first appearance in [[Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 2|issue 2]]'s "Triple Trouble", which marked the closest resemblance the comic had to the aforementioned cartoon. Here, Coconuts' head was colored light brown rather than red, and his face a light orange rather than the flesh tone used in the games and cartoon. However, this same color scheme was also used for the character's in-game sprites of ''Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine'', although the box art used the cartoon's color scheme.
 
 
Unlike Scratch and Grounder, Coconuts appeared prominently a few more times in the comics. In issue #11, he captured the [[Freedom Fighters]] to lure Sonic into a trap in an attempt to get a higher spot on Robotnik's top ten favorite Badniks list (a list on which even Scratch and Grounder outranked him). He later starred in a short story in [[Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 30|issue 30]], in which he tried to prevent "an anteater" ([[Bunnie Rabbot]], actually) from stealing Robotnik's [[Chaos Emeralds]], using Wile E. Coyote-type traps that, needless to say, failed. Like his old costars, Coconuts' last appearance in the comic was part of a flashback in [[Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 57|issue 57]].
 
 
However this wasn't his end, as Coconuts ended up living on the [[Island of Misfit Badniks]] with a number of the other badniks. As Sonic visits on the island at [[Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 185|issue 185]], fights against all badniks and struggled with Pseudo Sonic after that, the island starts sinking to the ocean along with badniks. Coconuts however is the only one who was able to get away.
 
 
Coconuts later is seen as a minion of [[Mammoth Mogul]] where also Scratch and Grounder also working in. Unlike his fellow lackeys, who were envious of Coconuts' role as Mogul's right hand man, the robotic simian stated his disgust at being Mogul's "Butler Monkey".

Coconuts as it appears in Sonic the Comic.

Coconuts make several appearances in early issues of Fleetway's Sonic the Comic as these they belong to Doctor Robotnik's Badnik army. In Sonic the Comic, Coconuts have their appearance closely from games and coconuts that Badniks throw are actually grenades. Coconuts also appears in pin-up of issue 65.

These Badniks were first seen (having vastly different appearance) attacking to monkeys of Forest Hills with Kid Cruel as leader who is employer of Robotnik. All childs of town are as power source of Coconuts and also having bomb inside of badniks while Kid Cruel is forcing the town to hand over every scrap of gold from their mines. As Sonic comes to save town, he manages to remove bombs and get all children from Badniks and defeats Kid Cruel.

Three Coconuts were actually stationed on the Floating Island, where a trio of them waited on trees to ambush Knuckles the Echidna. However they got noticed and destroyed by Shortfuse the Cybernik. During the infiltrating to Badnik Processing Plant, both Amy Rose and Porker Lewis dressed as Coconuts. Years later Robotnik mentions in his speech about using them to cut off the Jungle Zone.

Coconuts 3

Coconuts in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.

In the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog television series, Coconuts is one of the main antagonists in the show, though not appearing as frequently as Scratch or Grounder. In this media, he is one of Dr. Ivo Robotnik's Badniks, but had been demoted to the janitor of the doctor's headquarters. Furious over his low status, his primary goal was to capture Sonic the Hedgehog in hopes of earning a promotion from Robotnik. Whenever he appeared, he would usually attempt to go after Sonic himself and make sure that Scratch and Grounder did not beat him to the punch, but would ultimately fail every time.

Like many Badniks in the series, Robotnik/Eggman has made several monkey-type Badniks that have similar appearances and attack patterns much later. The most well known are E-series robots E-01 Baby Kiki and its later models.

Trivia

  • The SEGA character AiAi from the Super Monkey Ball games has the same name as Coconuts' Japanese name.
