'''Moto Bug''', called Motora (モトラ) in the [[Sonic 1 JP Manual|Japanese manual]], is a ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' badnik found in [[Green Hill Zone]]. It is an overgrown metal beetle only capable of moving forward. They have a fair bit of speed, but are easy to outmaneuver and take out with a simple spin attack. They do not attack back.

'''Moto Bug'''{{fileref|Sonic1 MD US SonicJam manual.pdf|page=7}}, called '''Motora''' (モトラ) in Japan{{fileref|Sonic1 MD JP manual.pdf|page=38}}, is a [[Badnik]] which debuted in the video game ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]''. They are loosely based on ladybirds and are designed to simply move forwards along the ground, stopping and reversing should they hit a cliff or obstacle.
  
Motobug would not return to Sonic games until the year 2010. On January 27th, 2010, SEGA America Blogs revealed [[:File:ConceptMotobugNeedlemouse.jpg|concept artwork]] of a redesigned Moto Bug to be used in [[Sonic the Hedgehog 4]]. The badnik also appears in [[Sonic Colours]].

A Moto Bug is the very first enemy a player sees in ''Sonic the Hedgehog'', and so, much like the Goomba of ''Super Mario Bros.'', has become an iconic enemy in the series. Moto Bugs are amongst the easiest enemies to destroy as they have no form of self defense - they are easy to outmaneuver, and can be taken out either by a jump or a roll.

Despite this, Moto Bugs are the most common cause of death for new players, as if he/she does nothing, or just holds {{right}}, one will kill Sonic in the opening stage of the game.
