The Badniks, also known simply as Eggman's robots and variations of that phrase, are the various robotic minions Dr. Eggman uses in the Sonic the Hedgehog series as part of his Eggman Empire, sometimes powered by animals or other living things used as batteries within them. They are equivalent in role to the Koopa Troop in the Super Mario franchise, though in several games individual models are less recurring, unlike the fairly consistent membership of the Koopa Troop. They cross over with the Super Mario franchise in the Mario & Sonic series, where they often seen allying with the Koopa Troop.
