The **Mecha Panda** is the tenth VIP animal.

## Appearance

The Mecha Panda shares a body similar to the Panda. Its body is made of entirely of mechanical parts, (hinting the name, **Mecha** Panda), white with dark grey patterning resembling that of a rocket ship. Its eyes are replaced by glowing cyan plates, and a small circular yellow light sits in the middle of its forehead. On its sides are plates attached from its shoulder to its rear, connected by a blue hinge and featuring the number 10. Decals on this plate include a flowing yellow and grey line, giving the appearance that it is a ribbon twisted around itself, and two small yellow tabs. Dark grey tubes are also attached, leading to its rear. The Mecha Panda has two sets of wings pointing diagonally upwards; one set is cyan, with a grey edge with small white stripes; the other is white with a grey leading edge, featuring two small yellow tabs.

## Abilities

* Mecha Panda can bump into small animals to stay happy

* Get bonus coins by bumping into other animals on Mecha Panda

1. ↑ **Note:** The ability is an improvement on those of upgraded pandas, which the Mecha Panda is based on.

## Behaviour

* **When ridden:** The Mecha Panda starts slow and can bump small animals, which allows the player to ride it for longer. As it gets closer to becoming angry, it speeds up.
* **When angry:** The Mecha Panda slows down, bucks the player up and sits on the player, similarly to hippos.
* **In habitat:** The Mecha Panda mostly remains curled up, sleeping. It will occasionally look up while still curled up, and let out a small yawn.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** The Mecha Panda stands up and lunges, roaring from right to left.

## Trivia

* The Mecha Panda is a part of the Mecha Team, also including the Mecha Crane and Mecha Pangolin. 'Mecha' derives from the anime/manga genre of Japanese popular culture, typically involving fighting robots.
	+ The robotic look of the Mecha Panda reflects this.
	+ The description references the fact that pandas eat around 20-40 pounds of bamboo per day.
		- It is structured in the same way as the Mecha Crane's and the Mecha Pangolin's, further establishing the unified nature of the Mecha Team.
* The number 10 on the Mecha Panda's side may reference how the Mecha Panda is unlocked at VIP level 10.

## Notes

* The Mecha Panda was released in version 1.24.0 on the 23rd of October 2019 on iOS and the 25th of October on Android, along with all pangolins, roosters, kirins and other VIP animals.

	+ The appearance is clearly based on a watermelon.

	+ The description appears to reference modern social health and fitness culture among females, perhaps relating to how watermelon is seen as a health food.

## Tips for Boss Mission

The Pegazeus boss mission is fairly simple. The player is faced with rows of pillars, structures and trees, although none of them are particularly hard to dodge. The Pegazeus itself glides for much longer than usual, meaning that the player’s only major concern that is different in this mission is watching the height of the Pegazeus to avoid landing on a low pillar or smashing into an overhanging structure. Apart from this, the player should keep a steady hand when the Pegazeus is on the ground to prevent any collisions with obstacles.

yellow ribbon steams from its behind.

* The description plays on the original name of the detective of the original Pink Panther films, being Inspector Clouseau. The original film series did not feature a pink panther, instead, the diamond at the centre of the mystery in the film was called the 'Pink Panther' due to the leaping panther shaped flaw in its centre.
	+ The actual Pink Panther first appeared in the credits of the first movie, and soon had a spin-off series develop around it. It can be seen here.
	+ The Pink Panthera is one of three animals that references a detective, the other two being the Investi-Gator and the Whooodunnit.
