Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Butterdroid is encountered in the Marble Garden Zone Act 2.
  2. 2
    It is a large, robotic enemy that attacks by firing projectiles and attempting to ram Sonic.
  3. 3
    The primary weakness of Butterdroid is its exposed core, which can only be hit when it is vulnerable after an attack.
  4. 4
    Players must dodge its projectiles and avoid its charges.
  5. 5
    When Butterdroid pauses after an attack, quickly jump and spin dash to hit its core.

Tips
  • Focus on dodging first and attacking second.
  • Use the spin dash to quickly close the distance and attack the core.
  • Be patient; there are specific windows of opportunity to attack.
  • If playing as Tails, use his flight ability to reach the core more easily.
