The Mole is a type of Badnik that was introduced in Sonic Colours. A successor to the Burrobots, these robots were modeled after the animal of the same name and are designed to operate underground.
Overview[]
Moles are basic Badniks outfitted with yellow drill noses, goggles for eyes, and grinning panels for mouths. They also have sharp grey claws for digging and a pair of tank treads for hind legs. Two models of this Badnik have been produced, although both only differ slightly in design. The first one is smaller with a pink colour scheme and red eyes, while the second is twice as large with a blue colour scheme and cyan eyes.
Moles are encountered in underground sections of Tropical Resort and Sweet Mountain. Whenever Sonic travels underground using the Yellow Drill Wisp, the Moles will surface in the soil. They usually appear in groups, with the pink ones outnumbering the blue ones. They will then immediately begin chasing after Sonic, trying to attack him by chasing him down from behind or from lateral directions. Regardless, the player can easily destroy a Mole by simply drilling into them with the Yellow Drill. If a Mole pops out of the ground while chasing after the player, it will twitch and explode, releasing several Wisps upon its destruction.
