Sandcastle minion

Sandcastle minions are enemies in Super Cat Tales: PAWS, Super Cat Tales 2 and Drop Wizard.

Physical appearance[edit]

Sandcastle minions have rectangular lengthwise bodies that are yellow with some textured dots and shading and three vertically separated segments at the top. They have a pair of black eyes with gray pupils shaped like thin vertical lines and a pair of round red feet.

In the Super Cat Tales games, sandcastle minions have a darker yellow horizontal line that runs atop both their eyes. The Drop Wizard type has more separated segments and their dotted texture is spread throughout their entire body rather than just their backside like the Super Cat Tales games.

Behavior[edit]

In Drop Wizard, sandcastle minions walk along the ground and turn at the edges of platforms at a constant pace.

In the Super Cat Tales games, sandcastle minions can walk and fall off higher platforms, but will turn near water or ledges. They will also pause briefly before resuming their walking pattern. Some sandcastle minions may begin the level underground and will emerge when the player approaches.

Strategy[edit]

Types[edit]

  • Spike - Has the same walking pattern as a normal sandcastle minion, but will carry a spike on their front side that can damage the player even if they run into it with an attacking cat. The player can defeat one without taking damage by running into it from behind or using an attacking helper.
  • Parasol - Carries a parasol while maintaining the same walking pattern and may spawn into a level by floating downward. If the player faces them on the same platform, they will stop walking and put their parasol directly in front of them as a defense mechanism. Running into them from the frontside will cause the sandcastle minion to be knocked backwards. If the enemy is knocked into water, it will be defeated. They can also be defeated if the player runs into the part of their body that is not covered by the parasol as they are descending.
  • Bucket - This sandcastle minion only appears in Drop Wizard. It wears a bucket covering its head and will always fall off the end of platforms. If the player hits one with a projectile, it will lose its bucket and take on the appearance and behavior of a normal sandcastle minion. This can sometimes cause the player to be trapped between sandcastle minions as they will no longer walk off the edge of platforms. This type will instantly be defeated if it is knocked over by rolling enemies.

Other[edit]

  • In Super Cat Tales: PAWS, the player may receive a daily quest to defeat 20 sandcastle minions (referred to as "sand castle enemies") with any cat. Knocking sandcastle minions with parasols into the water with the cat does not count towards the quest and they must be defeated with the cat's running attack directly.
