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 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 Corkey!
6/10. This is about as non-descript as it gets, I'm surprised it's even named to be frank. I mean as far as mechanical designs go it's well made, but I wouldn't have guessed it was a badnik were it not for the spritesheet. Fun name though!

Today's badnik is Ribot!
8/10. It looks like a cereal mascot who was forced to live a life of crimes and is upset about it, so it really has its own vibe. Aside from that, it has a very solid look to it thanks to its vibrant colors. I like it!

Today's badnik is Orbinaut!
8/10. Another Uni bro! Again! Like its sibling from Sonic 2, this one does better than Uni Uni and Unidasu by virtue of being coooler and CHROMED. A small change but it goes a long way; being boring really brings a design down I'd say.

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 Star Pointer!
9/10. Another Orbinaut! This one's playing it real fancy though, with ice orbs and greebles on its main body. I'll admit, I usually find that design tepid, but the extra pop of details really works for it, good job!

Today's badnik is Sparkles!
10/10. When it comes down to it, this is a very simple design, just a flying sparkplug with googly eyes. Yet, the very efficient usage of colors and details elevate are such that I'd say it's one of my favourites from Sonic 3 now!

Today's badnik is Batbot!
9/10. A sleeper hit, to be sure. Though simple, its design is remarkably intricate, which goes well with the paradox that it presents as a light-carrying bat. What an interesting bot to have in the amusement park, too!

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 Mantis!
7/10. It's a great design that is quite greebly for its size, but what takes its grade down is that I can't seem to remember it being dangerous at all in its zone? It feels like all it does is avoid you, so it's a bit of a letdown for me.

Today's badnik is Spiker!
10/10> Dare I say it's straight to the point? Puns aside, it makes for a very neat decoy, even moreso given that its spikes act as a spring. I think it would have been lessened as a bot if those were actual spikes. Very good lil' bot!

Tonight's badnik is Bubbles!
8/10. A bit of an understated design as it were, but still fun. I do wish it went harder with the pufferfish motif, but I like how the canister beneath its eyes looks like a muzzle. A design that could go harder, but still good!

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 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 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 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.
