Currently sick but I think I might start doing #badnikreviews again, though probably on a zone per zone basis rather than one by one

No #badnikreviews for today, I'm currently in the process of getting a new computer. Things should be back to normal tomorrow though ^^

Today's badnik is Clamer!

9/10. A simple design, but I like how its cannon emerges from its shell, it's a very good visual gag in my opinion. Yet another googly-eyed badnik, too! I wonder how many artists worked on this game's badniks?

Today's badnik is Bigbom!

10/10. It's simply the larger cousin of Sonic 1's bomb, and yet that's enough to propel it to one of my personal favourite. The red used alongside the extra details really pop and make it both charming and dangerous-looking!

Today's badnik is Caterkiller Jr.!

8/10. Caterkiller's child has taken to the skies! A very good departure from the usual caterpillar plans with laser bursts included! While I do think something is lost without a mouth, this kid has charm and isn't shy about it!

Today's badnik is Mecha-bu!

10/10. Another Tamabboh evolution done flawlessly, this bloke is mean, intense, and it won't let you forget it! It's chunky through and through, an excellent fit for the final level, and a great last hurrah for the Tamabboh line!

Today's badnik is Anton!

9/10. I purposefuly had this one come last in the batch because I think its complexity strikes a nice contrast compares to the simpler shapes of the others. That aside, it's a really cute ant lad, and I love it!

Today's badnik is Bata-pyon!

3/10. Sticking a spring onto a croissant-shaped grasshopper does not work well, it seems! This one is hurt even more by the fact that Kumo-kumo exists and executes the same idea better. Not great!

Today's badnik is Tonbo!

10/10. Probably my favourite non-Tentou insectoid badnik, I love its moody expression, it has a gorgeous mix of teal and gray and the mechanical details are on point. Tonbo represents everything that gets me going with badniks!

Today's badnik is Turbo Spiker!

10/10. Though I am endlessly annoyed by it, it's nonetheless a badnik I'm really fond off. Perhaps it's to do with the cheekiness coming from its eyes or its treads? I don't know for sure, but I think it's one of Sonic 3's best bots.

Today's badnik is Penguinator!

10/10. A silly yet very detailed design for a penguin, I love the articulations of the wings and the holes in the chest. Probably one of the best badniks Sonic 3 has to offer, and a very fine addition to Ice Cap!

Today's badnik is Blastoid!

10/10. At its core, it's a very simple enemy but it has just the right amount of character and greebles to really make it pop, which I'd say is even more impressive given how it's an exclusively aquatic bot. Real good stuff!

Today's Badnik is Rhinobot!

10/10. As the first in a quite sizeable line, it hits all the right notes splendidly! It's very to the point while forgetting to be boring with its greebles and red accents. All in all, a very simple enemy elevated by its design!

Today's badnik is Pointdexter!

6/10. It's a very functional design that still manages to be fun, but it feels a little overtaken by its spiky function; were it not for the fish head, it wouldn't look like much more than a stage hazard. Still, it works well.

Today's badnik is Snail Blaster!

8/10. A solid little guy with a good gimmick and a strong set of colors. I like how the shell is the brightest part, it makes this lad look toxic and dangerous, which is what you want for an enemy. A charming last bot for Sonic 3!

Today's badnik is Jawzun!

9/10. For how one-note of a bot it is, this missile still manages to present a very fun, thematically appropriated design that flows very well within its zone. The vibrant colors do a lot for that, with a brilliantly shaded belly! Love it!

Today's badnik is Poh-bee!

10/10 It looks like the child of Tonbo and Buzzbomber, two designs I am fond of. I love how mean it looks, despite its round shapes, the mouth and acid colors really sell the threat here. Probably one of the franchise's best flying bots!

Today's badnik is Flybot767!

8/10. A solid lil' birdie that zooms about. I really like the color combo, Orange and Green is always a good look especially with metallic shades! Also I like the derpy eyes.

Today's badnik is Sasori!

10/10. It feels like an evolution of Tamabboh, and I love it for that. Keeping the streamlined design while adding a turret and making it pointier really works out! It really sells well the fact that things are getting serious.

Today's badnik is Kemusi!

4/10. Another iteration on the Caterkiller body plan and I gotta be honest gang, this one doesn't work. The lack of greebles really hurts this design and makes it look naked, which is worsened by the blanket pink. Sorry!

Today's badnik is Kumo-kumo!

7/10. I really like the smooth body and head and simple color scheme, but unfortunately the legs complicate its design in a way that unbalances it. Having said that, it's moreso a problem as a still, in motion it is much more legible!

Today's badnik is Buggernaut!

8/10. Whisp wishes it was half as cool as these lads. They form a perfect combination of weird and robotic without just looking like a flashily colored fly, and I like them a lot for that! I also love that it brings its child to work!

Bit of a two for one deal today for #badnikreviews, the other one will come later!

Today's badnik is Mega Chopper!

9/10. As far as spritework goes, this fish is a wonderfully efficient design, one of the smallest badniks and yet so threatening and shiny! This game really does metal excellently! One of the best fish to be sure!
