Dr. Robotnik demoted me to sanitation duty. Me, Coconuts! Well, I should be in charge of catching Sonic. He's giving them my job! I'll show 'em! I'll capture Sonic first!


— Coconuts, "Super Special Sonic Search & Smash Squad"

Coconuts is an antagonist in the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog television series. He is a Badnik monkey created by Dr. Ivo Robotnik and an unofficial member of the Super Special Sonic Search and Smash Squad. Next to Scratch and Grounder, Coconuts is one of Robotnik's primary henchmen, though he mostly serves as the doctor's janitor due to a demotion, much to his dismay.

Appearance[]

Coconuts has a gray body with a chest-mounted screen, buttons and red boots. He has lanky limbs, big monkey ears and cartoonish black eyes with no visible sclera (the whites of the eyes.) He also has a siren on his head, which flashes rotating lights when he is excited.

Past[]

SSSSSS Coconuts

Coconuts about to fight Sonic, from "Super Special Sonic Search & Smash Squad".

At some point, Coconuts was demoted to Dr. Ivo Robotnik's janitor for something that wasn't his fault (Robotnik's justification was that he was in charge and therefore could blame anyone he wanted for his own failures), something which did not sit well with him.[1]

After the creation of Scratch and Grounder, Coconuts decided to catch Sonic on his own, hoping that doing so would earn him a promotion, but his efforts failed to capture Sonic and Tails. When Sonic ended up captured by Scratch and Grounder, Coconuts decided to sabotage them and make Dr. Robotnik think that it was him who caught the hedgehog. However, Sonic tricked Coconuts into freeing him, and then tricked Dr. Robotnik into smashing his Egg-O-Matic into his robots, destroying them for the time being.[1]

Season one[]

Games[]

Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine[]

In the 16-bit version and 8-bit version of Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, Coconuts tried to become Dr. Robotnik's favorite robot by stopping Has Bean. However, his attempts were in vain when he was defeated.

Personality[]

Coconuts is grumpy, cynical, hyperactive and obsessive with proving himself the better robot that Scratch and Grounder. He has a lot of tenacity and does not back down easily. He despises his role as Robotnik's janitor and will take any opportunity to get a promotion. As Robotnik only considers him a Janitor, Coconuts usually sets out to capture Sonic on his own rather than following orders.

Despite his low status and general disrespect by his peers, Coconuts has initially proven himself much smarter than Scratch and Grounder, as he is often the only one to see through Sonic's disguises and has even managed to capture him on more than one occasion. However, he often fails either due to Sonic's resourcefulness or his own overzealousness.

Unlike Scratch and Grounder, who directly appear out of nowhere to attack Sonic, Coconuts is much sneakier and quieter, preferring to ambush the hedgehog by disguising himself or by setting up elaborate traps. When he thinks that he is about to win, Coconuts starts to laugh maniacally, which causes him to focus on his objective.

Powers and abilities[]

Coconuts has proven able to think up and set his own traps and schemes rather than relying on Dr. Robotnik's plans. Able to fool even Sonic, he has nearly taken him to his doom several times, proving how smart and dangerous he is. He also has experience in driving mechs and giant vehicles, which he uses to compensate for his lack of strength, fighting ability and equipment compared to Scratch and Grounder.

Like most of Dr. Robotnik's robots, Coconuts is very durable and can be fixed very easily.

Relationships[]

Dr. Ivo Robotnik[]

Wow, a dream-gizmo! When I tell Doctor Robotnik about this, he'll give me a promotion! Oh, that means no more bathroom patrol!


— Coconuts, "Boogey-Mania"

Coconuts always wanted to be Dr. Robotnik's favorite by attempting to capture Sonic and Tails. Despite his devotion and proven intelligence over Scratch and Grounder, who were specifically built to capture Sonic, Dr. Robotnik openly loathes Coconuts, and will often humiliate him for his failures, or even just to spite him.

Sonic the Hedgehog[]

Okay! I was polite, I was reasonable! Remember, you forced me to do this! No half-baked hedgehog's gonna make a monkey out of me! No way! No way!


— Coconuts, "Super Special Sonic Search & Smash Squad"

Sonic the Hedgehog is Coconuts' main enemy. Unlike Scratch and Grounder, who see him as a threat to Dr. Robotnik's plans, Coconuts sees him only as the means to gain a promotion. Despite his attempts and having nearly won most of them, Coconuts is always defeated by Sonic, which results in him being humiliated and facing the wrath of Dr. Robotnik.

As Coconuts is always fixed by Dr. Robotnik no matter what happens, his battles with Sonic never end, with him always being defeated just to come back for more.


In the Sonic Says segments, however, while still looking to make Dr. Robotnik proud, Coconuts is on good terms with Sonic, and therefore doesn't actively try to kill him.

Scratch and Grounder[]

I don't see Scratch and Grounder scrubbing no toilets, and they've never captured Sonic!


— Coconuts, "The Magic Hassle"

Coconuts has been jealous of Scratch and Grounder following his demotion, but eventually he wants to team up with them both to capture Sonic and Tails. Many of his attempts to capture Sonic have been to simply make the two look bad, although these efforts always end in failure.

I'm Coconuts and I'm Dr. Robotnik's favorite robot... because I'm going to finish you in a flash.


— Coconuts, Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (16-bit)

Coconuts is the fourth boss in the 16-bit version and 8-bit version of Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine.

Boss guide[]

Like with the other bosses, the battle against Coconuts takes place in two "dungeons" on each side, the left one being from the player and the right one from Coconuts.[2] To defeat Coconuts, the player has to fill his dungeon to the point where he is unable to drop any more beans. This can be done by dropping Refugee Beans into his dungeon, though Coconuts himself can fill his own dungeon by accident.

During the battle, Coconuts will be somewhat passive. In the 16-bit version of Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, he will start the battle by filling the two sides of his dungeon with beans. However, he does not pose much of a challenge.

The player loses when their dungeon is full of beans. After that, they are sent to a Continue screen and given the option to play again. If they win, however, the game will lead to the next boss, Davy Sprocket.

Trivia[]

  • In this battle, Coconuts has the same AI as Harpy from Puyo Puyo, the game in which Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is based. However, unlike Harpy, Coconuts' beans doesn't turn into music notes when they are removed.
    • Ironically, since Harpy is the fourth opponent from Puyo Puyo, Coconuts' AI in Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is relatively weak, whereas he is clearly smarter than both Scratch and Grounder (who are higher-level opponents in the game) in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.

AStH Coconuts

Coconuts, from Sonic the Hedgehog #267.

In the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics, Coconuts was originally part of the "elite" Badnik squad, the Super Special Sonic Search and Smash Squad, which was tasked with hunting down and defeating the young Sonic the Hedgehog.

Coconuts, markedly more intelligent and threatening, was a late addition to the squad and often worked solo. But while Coconuts had some tactical skill, he fell prey to an ego and maniacal nature that surpassed even Scratch. Even after Scratch and Grounder had given up the chase, Coconuts tried to rally a few remaining Badniks and champion the return of Pseudo-Sonic, only to fail. Later, Coconuts would find work in Casino Nights as Mammoth Mogul's assistant, much to Coconuts' disgust; for all his delusions of grandeur, he had become just a "butler monkey."

After the events of Worlds Collide, Coconuts' history remained largely the same, though with a few differences. Currently, he works as Breezie the Hedgehog's personal assistant at Breeze Media.

  • In the Hispanic American version of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Coconuts is named "Coco Loco" (Spanish for "Crazy Coconut").
