The Jellygnite ,[1] [2] or Jellies ,[3] is a recurring enemy in the Sonic the Hedgehog series . It is a mass-produced, jellyfish-based Badnik created by Dr. Eggman .
Appearance
Jellygnites are based on jellyfish ; their main body is a metallic cap with a pair of eyes and three tentacles sprouting from their bottom. Each tentacle consists of four ball segments.
Game appearances
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2013)
In the 2013 re-release of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 , the Jellygnites appear as enemies. In this game, they are only found floating around in the lower water sections of Hidden Palace Zone .
Similar to the Grabbers , the Jellygnites have more realistic movements. If a character gets caught in their long arms, it will electrify them and blow themselves up a short while afterward (without releasing an Animal ) to damage the player. Like the Grabbers, the player can escape the Jellygnites' grasp by tapping left and right repeatedly. To destroy a Jellygnite, the player has to hit it from above to avoid being grabbed.
Sonic Mania
In Sonic Mania , the Jellygnites reappear as enemies. In terms of design, they look much like how they did in their debut , except their spots are now yellow. In this game, they appear underwater in both Acts of Hydrocity Zone .
In gameplay, the Jellygnites behave just like in their debut game: they swim up and down, and will catch those who get near them before trying to self-destruct. Also, upon destroying a Jellygnite, it will release an Animal .
Powers and abilities
The Jellygnites have an ability to swim. When they manage to catch their prey in their tentacles, they are able to self-destruct to inflict damage to their captive.
Trivia
Being the only new Badnik to be featured in the 2013 re-release of Sonic 2 , Jellygnites do not appear in any known prototype versions of the game and were likely an original concept for the Zone 's official re-creation.[4]
Jellygnite's name may be a pun on "jellyfish" and "gelignite", a type of gelatin-like explosive.
