Characteristics

The Badome is an slight variation of the Radome, but glows a bright blue, and its "roots" look more like rudimentary legs, as there are six of them. They have two arc-shaped turrets that functioned more like plasma cannons capable of generating plasma torpedoes, and they can do considerable damage. In levels such as Meteo and the Aparoid Homeworld core, they fire bright green lasers, and are obviously much weaker than their ground counterparts.

In the game

Mission 4: Fichina

Badome are first encountered on Fichina, blockading a path alongside several Radomes.

Mission 5: Meteo

Badomes fire lasers in the entrance to the base and in the final tunnel before the Team Star Fox faces off Pigma Dengar who later gets infected by Aparoidedation.

Mission 6: Sauria

Badomes are found in several places on Sauria, and they defend some of the Aparoid Hatchers. Five are present on each cliff face.

Mission 7: Corneria

Badomes are present on Corneria, bombarding you from wall mounted emplacements.

Mission 9: Aparoid Homeworld

Badomes are present on the side of the base where you can find Krystal. They are also present in several buildings near Aparoid Hatchers, and many are on the underside defending several more hatchers.

Mission 10: Homeworld Core

Just like at Meteo, Several Badomes fire lasers at several intersections, alongside the more powerful Guidomes.

It is an Aparoid Cannon that fires spherical projectiles. In shooting stages, it can be defeated with a single shot from the Arwing, but in all-range stages, it is difficult to destroy unless you use a weapon with high attack power.”
