The Caterpillar Mecha^{[note 1]} is an enemy that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a mass-produced, caterpillar-based Badnik created by Dr. Eggman.

Appearance[]

As their name suggests, the Caterpillar Mecha is based on a caterpillar, as well as sharing some visual similarities to previous caterpillar Badniks such as the Caterkiller and the Catakiller, Jr.. Like the animal they are based on, these Badniks have a long body consisting of seven segments. The Caterpillar Mecha is mainly green with gray accents, has orange screws on the sides of their segments, and gun barrels protruding from the segments' top and bottom.

Overview[]

In Sonic Superstars, the Caterpillar Mechas appear exclusively in both Acts of Egg Fortress Zone. In gameplay, they sneak around in the air, occasionally firing six projectiles at once from their barrels that can damage the player. In order to defeat a Caterpillar Mecha, the player must Spin Jump into the Badnik's head, as attacking any of the Caterpillar Mecha's segments will result in the player getting damaged. Like with most Badniks in the game, the Caterpillar Mecha will release their Animal and award the player 100 points upon destruction.

Powers and abilities[]

The Caterpillar Mechas have the ability to float and twist around as if they were in zero gravity, as well as being able to fire six projectiles at once, which travel at moderate speeds until they collide with a wall or the player.
