The Amenbo is an insectoid Badnik created by Dr. Eggman and is one of the smallest Badniks that the doctor has ever created.
Appearances[]
Sonic the Hedgehog CD[]
In Sonic the Hedgehog CD, the Amenbo has a teal-coloured cylindrical body and skates across water on four silver legs. It can be found in the Tidal Tempest Zone. Based on a water strider, it skims across the surface of bodies of water. When Sonic is in its sights, it will fire an energy pulse straight forward.
In Tidal Tempest's Bad Future, Amenbos, like all of Eggman's creations, have become damaged and dilapidated. The fan that propels it across the water is damaged, causing it to move slower. Its weaponry no longer functions so it cannot fire projectiles.
Sonic Superstars[]
An unnamed Badnik resembling the Amenbo appears in Lagoon City Zone Act 1 in Sonic Superstars. This robot has a purple rhomboid-shaped body and attacks the player while they are beneath the water's surface by deploying small bombs, if the water is deep enough. If the water is shallow, they simply skate across it and attempt to deal contact damage to the player.
As well as appearing as standard enemies, these Badniks are also generated by the Egg Jellyfish during the sub-boss battle.
