Kabasira is a small flying Badnik that resembles some sort of fly. They have a round, grey body with small wings, black eyes and red nose. While flying, they create a trail consisting of a few after-images which follow their movement.
Appearances
Sonic the Hedgehog CD
In Sonic the Hedgehog CD, the Kabasiras are only found at Stardust Speedway. In gameplay, Kabasiras normally fly up and down in one place. When Sonic approaches, it will fire an afterimage in his direction. While their afterimage can damage the player, it can be intercepted the mid-air with the Spin Jump without causing the player damage.
In the Bad Future or sometimes in the present timeline of the Rounds, Kabasiras are one of the few Badniks who do not show decay, thus remaining pristine in appearance. However, these Kabasiras are slower but do not fire their afterimages. These Badniks can easily be defeated with a simple Spin Jump.
Sonic Mania
In Sonic Mania, and its expansion Sonic Mania Plus, the Kabasiras reappeared as enemies. In terms of design, they remain unchanged from their debut appearance. In these games, they appear in Stardust Speedway Zone Act 1 and 2. In gameplay, the Kabasiras' attack pattern is identical to the one they had in Sonic the Hedgehog CD: they fly around in the air and throw their afterimages at the characters when they get in range.
