As their name suggests, the Toad Mechas are based on toads, with these Badniks having a short, lime green body, a yellow abdomen, a hinged mouth, a red tongue, and large eyes.
Overview
In Sonic Superstars, the Toad Mechas appear exclusively in Speed Jungle Zone Act 1. In gameplay, the Toad Mechas will wait in the background for the player to run past, at which point they will extend their tongues, grabbing the player in the process. If the player is going too slow, the Toad Mecha will pull the player into themselves, causing them to take damage. However, if the player runs fast enough, the Toad Mecha's hold on the player will be broken, causing them to get destroyed as well. Like with most Badniks in the game, the Toad Mecha will release their Animal and award the player 100 points upon destruction.
Additionally, a singular Toad Mecha briefly appears in the game's opening animation, where they are one of the Badniks that Sonic swiftly destroys while in Bridge Island Zone.
Powers and abilities
The Toad Mechas have elastic, sticky tongues that can stick to their foes to slow them down in order to pull them into themselves to inflict damage.
