Rabibin (ラビビーン?)[1] is an enemy that appears in Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble. It is a mass-produced Badnik model created by Dr. Robotnik.
Appearance
Rabibins are loosely based on Rabbits. They have a yellow head, red eyes with black sclera, and long, white ears. Additionally, instead of a body, they have a single mechanical foot to hop around.
Overview
Rabbins are only encountered in Meta Junglira Zone, where they leap off tree trunks in the player's way. In gameplay, they slowly hop forward, each time taking a brief moment to gather momentum for their jump.
The player can easily defeat these Badniks with a standard Spin Jump or Spin Attack. Like other robots in 8-bit Sonic games, no Animals pop out of the Rabibins when they are destroyed.
Trivia
- The Rabibins are similar to the scrapped Badnik, Splats that would have originally debuted in Sonic the Hedgehog (1991). Also, their eyes, muzzle and head shape bear a strong resemblance to Metal Sonic's.
