A promotional photo of Sonic at the ‘Sonic Spinball’ rollercoaster at Alton Towers in England. This has since returned to the non-branded ‘Spinball Whizzer’ name.

A couple Badnik ideas I had for Spin's world

Ripper the Vulture

An alternate version of the doc's Cluck bot from SatAM!

While Robotnik has Agent Stone as his right hand, this badass bird is Snively's. Ripper is his scouter, his guardian, and most of all, his transportation; he can act like a hang-glider for quick escapes!

His serial number is R1443R.

Scratch the Rooster & Grounder the Mole

(I moved these guys from the "background characters" list. This felt more fitting)

Two simple farmers from Bunnie's neighborhood who were turned into Robians. Unable to be saved, they work for Robotnik...but they're still bumbling fools.

Their serial numbers are 5CR47CH and 6R0UN93R respectively.

Name: Lyric the Rattlesnake

Serial number: 7YR1C

Badnik class: Boss (non-roboticized)

Attributes: stainless steel scales, heat vision, flexibility, prehensile tail, olfactory sensors

Power source: self-sustaining battery powered by Chaos Emerald energy

"Sonic, that thing is huge! It could swallow you whole if you're not fast enough!"

"PFFF, not fast enough? You gotta get your head on straight, Sal! I'm gonna have me some snake surprise."

A full body drawing of Dizzy Whizzer!

Dizzy Whizzer is an arcade worker at Alton towers who loves gaming and being competitive. She is an agressively kind girl who is probably way too hyperactive for most people. She is friends with pretty much everyone at the towers and is the most outgoing of the lot. Her closest friends are Rita and Hypno and hangs out with them regularly. She doesn’t really have that much of a backstory as she’s pretty much just a normal girl.

I feel like I made her hair too light but oh well - also, looking back at the finished drawing I can see many errors with the background that I don’t like

facts about the beloved game sonic spinball

Sonic Spinball was a sport created in Estonia around 1800. A predecessor of modern pinball, the cruel sport featured a live hedgehog as its ball, which would be batted about by rich people for sport. The hedgehog was traditionally painted blue to represent Sweden, which was unpopular in Estonia at the time owing to them being at war over a stolen Pärnusian Screaming Goat.

Not only did this blue hedgehog inspire the game of pinball as we know it, but the famous blue Sega mascot, Mega Man.
