The Spiketower[1] (ザック[2] Zakku?) is an enemy that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a mass-produced Badnik created by Dr. Eggman.

Appearance[]

Zakku-spr

The Spiketowers are rather tall Badniks, having a large yellow harpoon gun on their heads that allows them to fire a large, gray harpoon that they can use to cling onto ceilings similarly to a grappling hook. The Spiketowers also have a long pink body, as well as two wheels covered in spikes on both sides of them.

Overview[]

The Spiketowers only appear in Knuckles' Chaotix, where they can be exclusively encountered in Botanic Base. In gameplay, the Spiketowers can fire their harpoons straight upwards like grappling hooks to wedge themselves into the ceiling. Afterwards, the Spiketowers can winch themselves upwards on their wires, allowing them to swing back and forth like pendulums in order to hit the player. While the Spiketower's adaptation of their weapon is rather novel, these Badniks are still not all that dangerous, as their swing radius is rather quite limited. To destroy a Spiketower, the player simply has to hit it with a Spin Jump while it is on the ground or swinging around in midair. Like many of the Badniks in the game, Spiketowers are powered by synthesized Rings which they drop upon destruction.

Trivia[]

  • The Spiketower's Japanese name, "Zakku," means "thud" in Japanese.
