Flapper units in Altitude Limit.

The basic Flappers, along with their ground-based compatriots the Egg Pawns, make a nuisance out of themselves in Sonic Rush; particularly in Altitude Limit, where they get quite lethally in the way of rocket-pad steering. The drones can also be found in the game's Special Stages, where they can be destroyed by homing attacking them with the DS stylus.
