Burrobots are a mole-based Badnik from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise that debuted in the 16-bit Sonic the Hedgehog. Burrobots usually try to attempt to attack Sonic and his allies by bursting through the ground in-order to attack them. Despite being a somewhat recurring enemy in the Sonic series, Burrobots have only made one Mario-related appearance in the Nintendo 3DS version of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
In the Nintendo 3Ds version of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, A Burrobot makes a cameo appearance as walls during the Golf Plus event on Hole 9, where they use their sprite appearance from the 16-bit Sonic the Hedgehog game. If the playable character's golf ball hits a Burrobot wall, the Burrobot will disappear and the golf ball will land safely on the lawn without falling onto unfavorable terrain.
Trivia
- Coincidentally enough, Burrobots in their debut appearance share a very similar attack pattern to Monty Moles in the Mario franchise, as both are mole enemies that attack the player by attempting to ambush them by jumping out the ground.
