Orbinaut is a recurring enemy robot (Badnik) in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Modelled after sea urchins, Orbinauts have spherical bodies surrounded by four rotating spike balls.

There are three varieties of Orbinaut, each of which has its own name in the Japanese releases. The first type, named Uni Uni (ウニウニ) in Japan, is always surrounded by its spike balls. The second type, named Unidus (ウニダス) in Japan, fires its spike balls when approached. The third type, named Pola (ポーラ) in Japan, is similar to Uni Uni, but moves and spins its spike balls in short bursts and changes direction to follow the player.

-'''Orbinaut''' is a badnik that appears in more than one game. It's a hovering sphere surrounded by four spiked balls which rotate slowly and are used for both attack and defence, and is apparently based on a sea urchin (the Japanese word for sea urchin is "uni").

+'''Orbinaut''' is a recurring enemy robot ([[Badnik]]) in the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series. Modelled after sea urchins, Orbinauts have spherical bodies surrounded by four rotating spike balls.
-In the Mega Drive version of ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'', there are two types of orbinaut. The first appears in [[Labyrinth Zone]], and is referred to as "Unidus" (ウニダス) in the Japanese manual. "Unidus" is red in colour and launches its spikeballs along a horizontal line when Sonic approaches. The second type is found in [[Star Light Zone]], and is known as "Uni-uni" (ウニウニ) in the Japanese manual. It is green in colour and doesn't launch its spikeballs, making it less threatening but harder to kill. An orange "Uni-uni" also appears in the 8-bit version of ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (8-bit)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' in [[Sky Base Zone]].
+There are three varieties of Orbinaut, each of which has its own name in the Japanese releases. The first type, named '''Uni Uni''' (ウニウニ) in Japan, is always surrounded by its spike balls. The second type, named '''Unidus''' (ウニダス) in Japan, fires its spike balls when approached. The third type, named '''Pola''' (ポーラ) in Japan, is similar to Uni Uni, but moves and spins its spike balls in short bursts and changes direction to follow the player.
-A third orbinaut, known as Pola (ポーラ) in the Japanese manual, appears in ''[[Sonic 3]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Launch Base Zone]]. This version is silver-grey and spins faster when Sonic is moving, but doesn't launch its spikeballs. A similar enemy in [[IceCap Zone]], [[Star Pointer]], does launch its spikeballs.
+In English language releases the Unidus variety has gone by four names: Orbinaut, Spiky Spinner, Unidus and Spike Spinner.
