An army of belligerent bird warriors intent on world domination. The empire is lead by the large-chinned dictator Great Battle Kukku 15th and his fleet-feathered son, Speedy. The wise old owl Dr. Fukurokov heads up R&D on the empire's formidable armada.

The Battle Kukku army made at least one earnest assault on the Chaos Emeralds, but their ambition was squashed by the valiant young Tails in his pre-Sonic days.

:: Battle Kukku armada ::

bomb-throwing combatant ボム投げ戦闘員 These short birds run up to Tails just long enough to fling a lit bomb, then dash for cover. :: Tails Adventure jump combatant ジャンプ戦闘員 These agile birds leap precariously around the terrain. :: Tails Adventure Little Kukku リトルクック These pint-sized berzerker birds seem altogether unaware of their diminutive stature and will repeatedly assault Tails with flurries of kicks. :: Tails Adventure Mecha Golem #5 メカゴーレム５号 This bird-controlled robo eggplant lumbers around and slashes at Tails with its long arm. Damage it enough and the armor flies off, lowering its defenses but increasing its speed. The Golem can now slash in all directions, and when it slams its fist into the ground a large missile drops from above to wherever you're standing unless you keep your fuzzy butt on the move. :: Tails Adventure Nezu ネズ These robo mice sit still until Tails approaches, then they run up to his side (they won't attack him directly) and deposit a tiny bomb. Their business done, they return to their roost. ("Nezumi" is Japanese for mouse.) :: Tails Adventure passive combatant 消極的戦闘員 These green birds prefer to avoid confrontation and snipe from some very obvious hiding places. They can't be damaged while ducking, so you have to wait for them to stand up. :: Tails Adventure stone-throwing combatant 投石戦闘員 These blue-headed birds, when not in command of machinery, stand helplessly in place and toss stones at approaching foxes. :: Tails Adventure ??? This hovercraft, manned by the stone-throwing troops, flies just off the ground and is equipped with a powerful flame-thrower. :: Tails Adventure ??? This walking machine, manned by the stone-throwing troops, lumbers along the ground and is equipped with a cannon that has significant recoil issues. :: Tails Adventure ??? Like all bat enemies in every videogame ever made, these bots hang upside down on the ceiling and swoop down when the hero approaches. :: Tails Adventure ??? Drill-headed mole bots that pop in and out of the ground. :: Tails Adventure ??? These sub-riding stone tossers dash across the screen. If they happen to spot Tails, they'll pause briefly to fire a projectile, then retreat. :: Tails Adventure ??? These bird bombers flap above the surface of the water and drop turd-looking bombs with their feet. :: Tails Adventure ??? These jump troops roll logs downstream in Puru Puru lake. :: Tails Adventure ??? These dogfighting red birds soar with the wildest of abandon, and if they somehow fail to smash directly into you, they fire projectiles to get the job done. :: Tails Adventure ??? Stone-throw troops man the cannons of Battle Kukku 1. They can only be damaged from above. :: Tails Adventure
