Mobiles are snowmobiles driven by Blues that try to catch Big Blue and transport him out of the screen to safety. Although they have no defense, a Drab will sometimes board a Mobile and fire at any nearby slusher to make destroying it harder than before.
Role in the Movie
Mobiles were not in the movie probably because in the movie they only stayed at slusher and wouldn't have done much good without snow to drive on.
Role in Game
Mobiles will try to get to where Big Blue will land and catch him. When they do, they will try to go offscreen to initiate a game over. Trying to target Big Blue at that state will target the Mobile he's on instead. A Mobile's only defense is to rely on other Blue forces or have a Drab board the Mobile. In certain levels, Big Blue starts aboard a Mobile instead of being kicked by Standrew. In NG+, Mobiles gain a lot more health, and are harder to destroy as a result. Destroying these Mobiles will require the power of a fully upgraded Stick JK to remove a lot of their health, leaving the rest to a single fighter.
Trivia
- Mobiles and Toasters are the only enemies on wheels.
- Mobiles, Azures, and Cobalts are the only defensive enemies in the game.
- Mobiles and Azures are the only enemies with no attack methods, excluding that certain Mobiles have Drabs on board and Cobalts because, while they don't attempt to attack fighters, still cause damage upon contact.
- Mobiles are the only defensive enemies that run on wheels.
- Mobiles don't just appear in snow levels: some are also seen on Luna.
- Some players have reported winning even with Big Blue riding a mobile
- Logically, since Mobiles are built to drive on snow, they should not appear in any levels other than the winter areas.
