Game appearances
Sonic the Hedgehog CD
In Sonic CD the robots fly around in a zig-zag pattern, so be careful not to hit them on the way up from a spring, when Sonic is vulnerable. When broken down due to age, they fly slower and have a noticeable hole in their wings.
Chaotix
In Chaotix, Pata-Batas have their wings replaced with a pair of fans for flight and simply hover around in Speed Slider. As before, they lack any actual weapons and so are mostly harmless; just take them out with a Spin Jump. Like all of Eggman's Badniks in Chaotix, Pata-Bata is powered by a depleted Ring.
Sonic Lost World
Pata-Batas also appear in the Wii U/PC version of Sonic Lost World where they can be found in Desert Ruins Zone 2. At certain points in the level where Sonic skydives, he must avoid multiple groups of six of these butterfly Badniks flying in circles as he cannot attack while skydiving. They have been redesigned with blue wings and orange highlights, two holes in each wing, and a silver metallic body with a visible abdomen.
Sonic Runners Adventure
Pata-Batas also make another appearance in Sonic Runners Adventure where they return to their design from Sonic CD, right down to the holes in their wings. They are found in Green Hill.
Appearances in other media
Pata-Batas appear in Issue 5 of IDW Sonic, appearing alongside Antons fighting the Chaotix and Sonic. They also attack Windmill Village, attempting to rescue the amnesiac Dr. Eggman, but are destroyed by Charmy, along with the Egg Flapper. They are now named Hoverbys, most likely being their official English name.
