Badniks

Badniks are the majority of enemies in Sonic Dimensions. They are a part of Eggman's new robot army after he found the power of the life orbs.

While characters use terms like "Eggman's Robots", the term badnik is used in the games files, which refer to each Badnik under the Badnik file. They appear constantly through the levels of the game and serve as hazards to the player. Each badnik has their own special attack patterns, with some badniks firing projectiles, while some will charge at the player. There are different ways to defeat badniks too, such as spin dashing ones with spikes. Depending on the stage, they tend to have more complex patterns. Badniks like to patrol certain areas, but some badniks can be seen in multiple Zones and Acts.

The Dimensional Break causes mutations to occur within the badniks. This caused certain badniks to have variations off of the "parent" badnik. These variations may mostly vary in color to better differentiate them from the source enemy, but things like size, pattern, and speed also affect the varitations. Due to the number of them, they are separated into catagories.

Not all enemies are Badniks however, for other enemies, see the bottom of the page.
