The Circuses are monkey Badniks who have a similar appearance to the Kiki, with the main difference being their dark blue coloration. Most of its body is dark blue, and its hands, shoulders, and feet are colored gray. It has an orange and gray circus ball, hence its name, that has the Eggman Empire logo on it.

Overview[]

The Circuses appear exclusively in Sonic Advance 2, where they can be encountered in Music Plant. These Badniks can be seen juggling a circus ball, which will damage the player upon contact. Despite this, any attack can easily destroy a Circus, releasing the Animal inside in the process.
