History[]
Games[]
Past[]
Having spent years making plans for world domination, Dr. Eggman would be opposed by his arch-nemesis, Sonic the Hedgehog, who would thwart all of his nasty schemes. Developing a deep hatred for the hedgehog in no time, the doctor would spend a long time researching his adversary's moves and abilities to incorporate them into his Egg Dragoon mech.[12]
Years ago, when one of the five Arks of the Cosmos landed on the Crimson Crater, Eggman secured it and established MeteorTech, which appeared as a legitimate weapons/security manufacturing company and placed the newfound stone in its mother computer. However, the doctor was actually using his corporation for a plan to build his dream city, Eggmanland; when the remaining four Arks landed on earth, the villain would use them to take control of all of the world's robots and conquer the planet.[13][14][15][16] Also taking years to complete was a project that involved secretly[17] building an amusement park in space, presumably to harness the Wisps' Hyper-go-on energy to power a mind control cannon with.[18][19]
Classic Era[]
Sonic Mania[]
In Sonic Mania, some time after the Angel Island incident, Eggman detected a strong energy source coming from Angel Island, prompting him to send his five elite Eggrobos, the "Hard Boiled Heavies", to go and retrieve the source. Soon after, Eggman found himself in Green Hill, where he faced Sonic, Tails and Knuckles in his Death Egg Robot. He was soon defeated though, and eventually came across his Hard Boiled Heavies, who had been upgraded by the energy source. Seeing as the Heavies would no longer listen to him, Eggman took the energy source, the "Phantom Ruby", away from them and used its power to send Sonic, Tails and Knuckles, who were secretly eavesdropping on him nearby, away. The gem, however, would slowly make the doctor descend into madness.
Over the next period, Eggman seized Little Planet for himself. Afterward, he began building a robotic fortress known as the Titanic Monarch on the planet. Along the way, the doctor made several attempts to stop Sonic and his group, but was defeated each time. He would also occasionally use the ruby to displace the heroes when they began catching up to him.
It was not long until Sonic, Tails and Knuckles chased Eggman down to his base inside the Titanic Monarch. However, the mad doctor was prepared for them. He fought the trio using his Phantom Ruby-empowered Phantom Egg while sending the heroes to also fight the members of the Phantom Heavies. Unfortunately for Eggman, he was still defeated. Upon his defeat, however, the Phantom Ruby sent him and Sonic to an unknown location. There, the Phantom King (the upgraded leader of the Hard Boiled Heavies, the Heavy King), stole the ruby for himself. Eggman was not prepared to give up easily though, and used his Klepto Mobile to combat his traitorous minion. In response, Sonic used the Chaos Emeralds to transform into Super Sonic to fight them both. After the Phantom King was defeated, Eggman was delivered the final blow by Super Sonic, putting his mech and his plans to ruin.
Sonic Mania Plus[]
In Sonic Mania Plus, some time after losing the Phantom Ruby, Eggman attacked Sonic and his group of friends in Green Hill with his Death Egg Robot. Though he was soon defeated, he came across his revived Hard Boiled Heavies, who had gotten their hands on the Phantom Ruby again, in the aftermath. Seeing that the Heavies again refused to listen to him, Eggman took the Phantom Ruby from them and used its power to send Sonic and his friends, who were secretly eavesdropping on him nearby, away.
From there, Eggman retried his previous plot by capturing Little Planet once again. After that, he rebuilt the Titanic Monarch on the miniature planet. Along the way, Eggman made several attempts to stop Sonic's group, but was defeated each time. He would also occasionally use the ruby to displace the heroes when they began catching up to him.
Eventually, Eggman got chased into the Titanic Monarch by Sonic and his gang. There, the mad scientist attempted to fight the group using his Phantom Ruby-empowered Phantom Egg, but was defeated again. Upon his defeat however, the Phantom Ruby activated, creating a rift that began sucking in the surroundings. Eggman attempted to escape the rift on a jet sled, but got knocked into it by Sonic and his friends when they escaped the rift in their Super States.
Sonic Superstars[]
In Sonic Superstars, Dr. Eggman teams up with Fang the Hunter and a new villain named Trip to convert all of the Animals on the Northstar Islands into Badniks and gather the Chaos Emeralds in an attempt to take over the world. Having learned of this, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy had went on an adventure to save the archipelago and defeat the evil doctor and his thugs. After capturing gigantic versions of Rocky, Pecky, Picky, and Flicky, Eggman proceeded to hand Fang a bag full of money as his payment for his assistance. He then follows up with a further order for Fang to locate the Black Dragon, also handing him the crude drawing he had made earlier to aid in his search. However, his base's alarm suddenly went off before Fang and Trip (who entered an argument due to the latter stumbling) could actually conduct their search, prompting Eggman to look at the screen and learn, to his frustration, that Sonic had arrived. Trip ultimately defected from Eggman, partly because of her being fed up with her partner Fang's constant abuse, and aided in stopping him. While he doesn't directly appear in the last story, his crude drawing of the Black Dragon briefly appears in the closing scene.
Modern Era[]
Sonic Rush Adventure[]
In Sonic Rush Adventure, Eggman formed a partnership with Eggman Nega once more to create Eggmanland,[20] this time by harnessing the power of the so-called "Power of the Stars", a force greater than the Chaos and Sol Emeralds combined that his descendant had discovered and told him about to get his cooperation. The key to unlocking this power, however, was the Jeweled Scepter, an ancient artifact located somewhere on earth in the Sol Dimension. To find the scepter, the doctors put together Captain Whisker and his crew of robotic pirates, and send them out to search for it.[21] In the meantime, the doctors had to find the place in which to use the Jeweled Scepter to unlock the Power of the Stars, which they discovered was beneath Southern Island thanks to Nega's research.[22]
Although Whisker and his crew got defeated by Sonic, Tails, Blaze, and Marine, the two former of whom the villains had not expected would interfere with their plans; Eggman and Nega managed to steal the Jeweled Scepter themselves. They soon after appeared at Southern Island with their Egg Wizard and gloated about their master plan to the heroes before heading underground in their mech. Down below, in Deep Core, the villains used the machine to tap into the Power of the Stars with the Jeweled Scepter, giving it incredible power. However, Sonic and Blaze used the Chaos and Sol Emeralds to become Super Sonic and Burning Blaze respecitvely to combat the doctors. As the Egg Wizard ended up on the verge of defeat, a gleeful Eggman Nega decided to use the mech's "Planet-Buster Laser" to destroy Super Sonic, Burning Blaze and the world, causing Eggman to panic. Fortunately, the Egg Wizard got distracted by an energy blast from Marine, which gave the transformed heroes the opening needed for them to destroy the mech, thus foiling Eggman's ambitions once more.
Sonic Riders series[]
Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity[]
In Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, a few months after the first EX World Grand Prix,[23] Dr. Eggman lost control of his MeteorTech robots after all five Arks of the Cosmos had fallen down to the surface of earth, one of which having been fortuitously harnessed by the SCR-HD from the villain's company. This caused a global robot rampage beyond the doctor's control that was lead by the SCR-HD to find the other four stones. Seeking to use this to his advantage nevertheless, Eggman began attempting to gather the Arks to control all of the planet's machines, which would thus allow him to take over the world and build Eggman Land.[13][14][15][16]
A few days later, Eggman was cornered at his headquarters by Team Heroes and the Babylon Rogues, who suspected he was under the rampage. He claimed he was innocent, and helped the teams track down Amy and Storm, who were away with one of the Arks of the Cosmos. Afterwards, he revealed his true colors when he sneaked into the Rogues' blimp, stealing the two Arks they had collected and flying eastwards in his Egg Mobile. Arriving at the Crimson Tower, he was confronted by the thieves and Team Heroes once again, with his plans ruined after so many years to his dismal. Suddenly though, the SCR-HD snatched the five Arks of the Cosmos the antiheroes had collected, and took them to Babylon Garden, creating a black hole that began consuming the Crimson Tower. Panicked, Eggman proceeded to escape. Fortunately, however, Team Heroes and the Babylon Rogues stopped the black hole, preventing it from destroying the world.
Sonic Free Riders[]
In Sonic Free Riders, Dr. Eggman disguised himself as "King Doc of Toreggmania" and hosted another EX World Grand Prix, claiming that the winner would get large amounts of cash and treasure.[24]
After what seemed to be the race finals of the World Grand Prix, "King Doc" announced there would be more final races for the contenders to participate and had constructed the "Ultimate Gear-jockey" (Metal Sonic disguised as E-10000B) to participate. After the race, the doctor decided to drop the disguise, and revealed that his robot had been copying everyone's racing data to make himself the fastest Extreme Gear racer. However, the data turned out be useless as it was revealed that Metal Sonic had stolen the data for himself and gave his creator false data, much to the villain's anger. After watching Sonic race against the treacherous robot, Eggman berated at the latter for ruining the World Grand Prix and proceeded to leave, revealing that he did not have any prize to award anyone with.
Sonic Rivals 2[]
In Sonic Rivals 2, Eggman discovered that Eggman Nega, who was masquadering him once again, had got some files from Gerald Robotnik which told of the Ifrit, a creature from another dimension. Knowing that Nega was attempting to get the seven Chaos Emeralds to unleash this beast into Sonic's universe to destroy the world, the doctor sent Metal Sonic to reach out to Shadow and ask for his help.[25][26]
Throughout the adventure, Eggman would communicate to Shadow through Metal Sonic, telling him what to do and revealing what Eggman Nega was up to. By the time the hedgehog and the robot had got to the Neon Palace, however, Nega had taken over the doctor's Badniks and had them destroy his base, putting him in trouble.[27] Fortunately, Shadow destroyed the rogue robots, allowing the villain to regain control of his fortress. When the duo was approaching the Mystic Haunt, Eggman, seeing that the signal with Metal Sonic would break up, went to the mansion himself to help Shadow. Unfortunately, the doctor's descendant had managed to open up the portal to the Ifrit's universe despite only having six of the Chaos Emeralds, but the villain told the black hedgehog that there was a switch in that dimension that would close the portal and prevent the beast from causing havok. Shadow and Metal Sonic later managed to do so and returned to Sonic's universe using Chaos Control while leaving Nega trapped in the Ifrit's dimension.
Sonic Unleashed[]
In Sonic Unleashed, Eggman learned of the Gaia Manuscripts, which told of a mystical creature named Dark Gaia, which appeared in a time of awakening every few millenia that would shatter the earth. Wanting to awake this monster and harness his power to build Eggmanland, the doctor and his robots raided Spagonia's university, where he kidnapped Professor Pickle, another scientific genius who was the only one who could read the Manuscripts, and took away all of his lab data and intel.[28][29] He then left Pickle in a prison cell in Mazuri, feeding him with sandwiches the professor deemed horrible.
Later, Eggman prepared a cosmic Egg Fleet and a giant Chaos Energy Cannon in orbit with earth. Soon enough, his fleet was attacked by Sonic. After a fight, the hedgehog revealed that he had the seven Chaos Emeralds, which he used to transform into Super Sonic and give chase to the doctor, who escaped in his Egg Mobile to the cannon. There, when he was cornered by his nemesis, the villain faked giving up so that Sonic would get his guard down. At the perfect moment, Eggman revealed that he had lured the hedgehog into a trap that stripped him off the Chaos Emeralds, which he used to power the Chaos Energy Cannon and shatter the earth, prematurely waking up Dark Gaia along with his light counterpart, Light Gaia. In the process, Sonic harnessed the power of the evil creature and turned into Sonic the Werehog. Victorious, the doctor disposed of his nemesis and the Emeralds by letting them fall down to the shattered planet, fully convinced that the hedgehog had died.[30]
A few days later, Eggman returned to Mazuri, where he tried to convince its inhabitants to show him the location of its Gaia Temple, which he allegedly wanted to find to restore the powerless Chaos Emeralds.[31] Much to his frustration, Sonic revealed himself with Light Gaia, who was carrying the nickname "Chip", and defeated the doctor, who piloted the Egg Beetle. Later, the villain began building a Dark Gaia-powered Eggmanland. However, he was upset to find out that, after his nemesis had already restored two continents and had run off with Professor Pickle, the base was only 27% complete, mainly because of Dark Gaia having been released prematurely and his fragments having spread around the world. After being scolded by his assistant, SA-55, Eggman made a plan to attract the fragments to Eggmanland to speed up its construction, which had success.
After Sonic and Chip had restored all but one of the continents, Eggman had completed Eggmanland. When the hedgehog restored the continent where the fortress was standing as well, the doctor fought him in an epic showdown while piloting the Egg Dragoon, but was defeated. Soon after, Dark Gaia formed in front of them, and the villain ordered him to attack his nemesis. However, the creature sent Eggman flying before fighting Sonic. Later, when the hero defeated Perfect Dark Gaia, the doctor himself was revealed to have survived the attack and chased SA-55 into the sunrise in a childish fury.
Sonic the Hedgehog 4[]
Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I[]
In Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I, Eggman was left humiliated and vengeful at his defeat at the hands of Sonic for destroying the Death Egg. This failure, which only contributed to furthering the doctor's rage, made him determined to take down his nemesis once and for all. For this new plan, the villain set up a new factory, Mad Gear, on an unnamed island and began revisiting his deadliest creations at the moment to use against the hedgehog.[32]
When Sonic arrived on the island, he would manage to put back Eggman's ambitions. At several points, the doctor used old mechs to dispose of the hedgehog with no success, while his nemesis would also manage to secure the seven Chaos Emeralds. Eventually, the villain retreated to his E.G.G. Station. Not content with this, Sonic jumped onto a rising rocket and pursued the doctor. Onboard the spaceship, Eggman attacked his nemesis with all of the past battle machines, culminating with an epic showdown where the doctor piloted a rebuilt Death Egg Robot. Despite the mech's improvements, and the scientist's best efforts, the hedgehog ultimately defeated him, and escaped the base as it began exploding.
Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode Metal[]
In Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode Metal, several months after the previous crisis, the aforementioned planet returned to earth once again. Taking this opportunity to finally complete his ultimate plan, Eggman sent a monitor of himself to Stardust Speedway, where a deactivated Metal Sonic was laying around, to resurrect the robot and order him to go to Mad Gear. Here, the doctor fixed his creation to dispose of Sonic for good.
Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II[]
In Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II, after repairing Metal Sonic, Eggman went to the Sylvania Castle, where Sonic and Tails were found, to defeat the heroes in his Egg Serpentleaf. When this failed, he encountered the duo again in the Oil Desert while piloting the Egg Scrap Mech, but had no success in getting rid of them either. As the incident went on, the heroes would also notice that the doctor was building a second Death Egg over Little Planet. Eventually, the villain escaped to his Sky Fortress while the hedgehog and the fox gave chase. Afterwards, he and Metal Sonic fleed to the completed Death Egg mk.II, where the two villains would have several battles against Sonic and Tails. However, Eggman was ultimately defeated while his new spaceship was left harmlessly floating in space, fully deactivated.
Sonic Colors[]
In the Wii version of Sonic Colors, after years in the making, Dr. Eggman had almost completed Egg Planet Park,[18] which he was using to kidnap an alien race known as Wisps and harness their Hyper-go-ons to fuel a massive Mind Control Ray to subjugate the world with. In order to finish his park, Eggman sent massive forces of robots to secure several planets that included Planet Wisp to chain them to the park, while also kidnapping the local Wisps along the way.[33] He also remodeled those planets by building massive attractions on them. However, in advertisements promoting Egg Planet Park, he stated that it was build after developing a "sense of remorse" for his past evil actions.[18][34]
At one point, Eggman built a base on the Sweet Mountain containing a massive energy draining machine to harness the kidnapped Wisps' Hyper-go-on power. He tasked his assistant robots, Orbot and Cubot, with putting those Wisps into the energy draining machine, though he would later also put Metal Sonic in the task.[35]
On the day before Egg Planet Park's opening, Eggman was counting his kidnapped Wisps alongside Orbot and Cubot. However, Sonic, who had infiltrated the park with Tails, soon showed up. The doctor thus released his Rotatatron to fight the hedgehog while he and his minions escaped. Later, the villain used a supply of the Wisps' Hyper-go-on to fuel a Mind Control Ray to take control of Tails' mind. However, when the Mind Control Ray ran out of Hyper-go-on, leaving the fox to be released from his control, Eggman was forced to retreat.
After Sonic freed all of the planets that were chained to Egg Planet Park, Eggman attempted to fire the Mind Control Ray at the earth. However, this attempt backfired due to one of the arms of the Rotatatron having damaged the cannon, creating a void in its place that began destroying Eggman's theme park. In a last attempt to defeat Sonic though, Eggman used the Nega-Wisp Armor to attack his nemesis, who pushed Tails to an elevator to send him safely to the planet. Engaging Sonic in battle, Eggman ended up being defeated, causing him to be sucked into the black hole, which was then neutralized by the Wisps. Later, Eggman, Orbot and Cubot were left stranded in space.
Sonic Generations[]
In the console/PC version of Sonic Generations, after the Wisp incident, Eggman, Orbot and Cubot were still stranded in space following the events of said incident. However, they stumbled upon a mysterious creature, the Time Eater. Discovering that the monster was able to erase time and space, the doctor decided to harness his power to undo his previous defeats and conquer the world. He thus left the scene with the newly-discovered creature, leaving Orbot and Cubot behind thus showing his lack of care towards them.[36]
Later on, Eggman converted the Time Eater into a cyborg-like machine that let him control the creature, though he needed help from someone as smart as himself to perfect the process. Even so, the doctor began using him to interfere with history, trapping various locations from the past in a white void named White Space. Later, he travelled to the past and kidnapped the Sonic and Tails from that time, leaving the two stranded in White Space. Shortly afterward, while Modern Sonic was celebrating his birthday party, the villain used the monster to send the hedgehog to White Space, while flinging his friends through time to serve as bait for his traps.
Some time after, onboard the Death Egg during the time of the West Side Island incident, a younger Eggman fought Classic Sonic in his Death Egg Robot. Upon being defeated like before, the doctor was abducted by Modern Eggman with the intention of helping him perfect the Time Eater. With Classic Eggman more than willing to help, the two doctors teamed up to defeat their respective Sonics and complete the Time Eater.[36]
Eggman later reappeared in a restored Eggmanland, where he fought against Sonic in the Egg Dragoon. However, he was defeated, and was later abducted by the Time Eater. After this, the two Eggmen revealed themselves to the Sonics and Tailses. As they explained everything to the heroes, the doctors unveiled their endgame: to destroy the hedgehogs with the Time Eater and erase them from time entirely. The heroes tried engaging the Time Eater, but the doctors ambushed them by launching the Time Eater's arm through a Time Hole, squashing the duo. As the villains got ready to finish them off, however, Modern Sonic's friends arrived and cheered him and Classic Sonic on, causing the Chaos Emeralds to emerge from them and transform them into Super Sonics. The heroes then faced the Eggmen and the Time Eater in another dimension and destroyed him, undoing the villains' actions.
After this battle, Eggman found himself stranded in White Space with his past self, attempting to find an exit and go back home. After giving up and arguing about whether or not they would ever win, Classic Eggman considered going back to get his "teaching degree", to which Modern Eggman agreed as he enjoyed telling people what to do, much to his past self's exasperation.
Sonic Lost World[]
In the Wii U version and PC version of Sonic Lost World, Eggman set foot on the floating continent of the Lost Hex, where he met a group of six menacing Zeti known as the Deadly Six. Deciding to have them serve him, he enslaved them using a Cacophonic Conch to control their abilities.[37][38] Additionally, he created the Extractor at Lava Mountain, which he planned to use to extract some of the life of earth to power his machines, but it proved to be very unstable despite its effectiveness.[39][40] The doctor also built a base somewhere on the continent to turn the Animals he would kidnap into Badniks.
Much later, Eggman, accompanied by Orbot and Cubot, was carrying an Animal-filled Capsule in the Egg Mobile while being pursued Sonic and Tails on their Tornado. After distracting the duo by dropping the Capsule, the doctor shot down their plane with a ray gun. When it later turned out that his nemeses had survived and were attempting to thwart his scheme, the doctor and the Deadly Six encountered the hedgehog at Windy Hill, where he sent Zazz to defeat him. When this failed, the villain managed to convince Zomom to face Sonic at the Desert Ruins by giving him a sandwich. After this attempt ended in failure as well, Eggman proceeded to scold the Zeti for their incompetence before punishing them with a blow from the Cacophonic Conch. However, the hedgehog entered the scene, disposing of the conch and allowing the Deadly Six to rebel against the scientist by taking over his Badnik army. This forced the doctor, Orbot and Cubot to escape the scene alongside Sonic and Tails.
Finding themselves safe at the Tropical Coast, Eggman and his minions reluctantly formed a partnership with Sonic and Tails to defeat the Deadly Six and stop them from using the Extractor to make themselves unstoppable. While the hedgehog was willing to cooperate, the fox would get into arguments with the two, who did not trust the doctor and thought that Sonic was ditching him in the villain's favor. Eventually, at the Frozen Factory, the group would be threatened by the Zeti through a screen, who revealed their intentions of using the Extractor, which did not sit well with the scientist. Later, Eggman proposed destroying the Lost Hex, finding strong opposition from Sonic, before unexpectedly saving Tails from getting killed by a rogue Orbot. At the Silent Forest, the doctor witnessed the fox being kidnapped by the Deadly Six before declaring that he had fought for the greater good. Afterwards, at the Sky Road, whilst fixing Orbot, the villain overheard Orbot attempting to become Sonic's sidekick, which earned the robot's disapproval of the two nemeses.
When Eggman and his group arrived at Lava Mountain, they were attacked by Zomom and Zazz, destroying the bridge the crew was walking on and seemingly forcing the villain to sacrifice his life to save his arch-nemesis. However, after Sonic defeated the Deadly Six and reunited with Tails, the doctor revealed that he had faked his death and had been preparing the Eggrobo, a mech powered by the energy the Extractor had absorbed, with the intention of disposing of the heroes and conquering what was left of the damaged world.[41] Even with his creation's enormous powers though, the doctor was defeated by the hedgehog while the fox tampered with the machine to return the planet's life. The doctor declared that he would find another Cacophonic Conch and enslave the Deadly Six once again, before trying to flee using a jetpack. However, it turned out that Sonic had removed one of its exhaust pipes, resulting in the villain plummeting back to earth. In the aftermath, Eggman actually survived his fall, but got stuck in a patch of soft dirt; Orbot and Cubot - now fused into one body - managed to rescue him, but not before a Pocky ate half of his mustache. The minions mentioned this by mistake and soon fleed from a very upset Eggman.
Sonic Forces[]
In Sonic Forces, months before making any moves, Dr. Eggman found the Phantom Ruby outside his lair while having a mental block on his next scheme for the Eggman Empire to become a reality and finsh off Sonic for good. Upon picking it up, the Ruby gave him a vision of Eggmanland, only for it to evaporate when he dropped the gem. Realizing that the visions could be useful, the doctor proceeded to research the stone. Shortly after formally giving the Ruby its name, however, he had to deal with the Jackal Squad invading his turf. Since the villain had spent his time researching the Ruby rather than maintaining his defensive measures, his outrage caused the Phantom Ruby to create several Phantom Copies of Egg Pawns that held off the Jackal Squad. Despite this, he was almost killed by Infinite, their leader. Fortunately, the jackal's sword hit the Ruby and caused a vision of a desolate wasteland to appear, stunning him long enough for Eggman to knock him away. Impressed by the mercenary's abilities and his vision, the doctor offered to make him the leader of his army, which he accepted.[42] The villain later tested out the Phantom Ruby's powers on Angel Island, leaving Knuckles and Silver to the gem's illusions of Pachacamac's village and an aggressive Chaos. After the heroes reverted the Phantom Ruby's effects, Eggman watched them take off and was delighted that the test was a success.[43]
Because of how important the Phantom Ruby was to his plans, Eggman had the lab researching it at Mystic Jungle guarded by the Jackal Squad and a large contingent of Badniks. There, Eggman produced artificial duplicates of the Phantom Ruby called "Phantom Ruby prototypes". However, most of them had a defect that left them unusable to anyone else except one with the fortitude to trigger them, leaving the prototype embedded with that person's DNA.
Eventually, Shadow the Hedgehog attacked Eggman's lab in Mystic Jungle. With the Jackal Squad wiped out early on by Shadow, Eggman dispatched Infinite. The captain was no match for Shadow, which, thanks to Shadow's blunt criticism, prompted him to be fused with Eggman's finalized Phantom Ruby prototype. Eggman had his own personal motives for approving of Infinite undergoing the procedure: in particular, he wanted to create an "invincible weapon of destruction" to use on Sonic when the time came and let him expand the Eggman Empire across the globe. The fusion gave Infinite the Phantom Ruby's powers, including its ability to create Phantom Copies, which Eggman had Infinite use to supply him with Phantom Copy soldiers for his army.
Shortly after completing his experiments on Infinite, Eggman's base in Green Hill was infiltrated by E-123 Omega. To deal with the traitorous robot, Eggman dispatched Infinite, who easily handled Omega, as a test of his new abilities.[44]
Eventually, Dr. Eggman invaded the City with his army, only for Sonic to arrive, just as he intended, to rescue Tails and several civilians when Eggman had them at gunpoint with his Egg Pawns. Having anticipated Sonic coming to the rescue, Eggman unveiled Infinite and the Phantom Copies of Zavok, Shadow, Chaos, and Metal Sonic accompanying him. Together, these foes defeated Sonic. Instead of finishing Sonic off when he had the chance however (as he wanted to give Sonic a chance to escape[45]), Eggman instead imprisoned Sonic on his newly rebuilt Death Egg space station so he could have him see his empire upon its completion before banishing him into space. Without Sonic opposing him, Eggman conquered over 99% of the world over the next six months with the aid of Infinite and his Phantom Copies. It was during this war that the Resistance was formed to fight back against Eggman.
At some point during his conquest, Eggman invaded the City with robots deployed from his battleship. However, the battleship's launch bay got hit with a missile, preventing any more robots from functioning. Due to this, Eggman retreated, but swore revenge.[46]
Eventually, Eggman sought to dispose of his remaining Phantom Ruby prototypes so they could not be used against him, sending Infinite to his lab in the Mystic Jungle to retrieve them. Eggman later appeared in Green Hill to talk with Infinite while the latter destroyed his prototypes. He then grew angry at Infinite for not killing Sonic, who had broken out of the Death Egg, at Mystic Jungle, but nonetheless reviewed with him the final stages of his plan to wipe out the Resistance and perfect the Eggman Empire upon the ashes of the old world. Shortly after Infinite took his leave, however, Eggman was attacked by Classic Sonic, who had arrived in Eggman's dimension due to the Phantom Ruby. Eggman initially attempted to disengage from fighting Classic Sonic due to viewing him as not worth his time, but ultimately fought him with his various mechs, before being beaten. Already confident in his victory against the Resistance, he took the loss in stride, and even proceeded to gloat to Tails (who was accompanying Classic Sonic) and Classic Sonic that his plan to wipe them out would be accomplished in three days' time before taking his leave.
While his army fought the Resistance for him, Eggman began shifting his forces to the Eggman Empire Fortress in preparation for his plan to wipe out the Resistance. This left his HQ in Metropolis undermanned, prompting the Resistance to launch a full, frontal assault on the city. Eggman, while surprised by the resistance's boldness, took care of them by sending Infinite to deal with them personally, who forced the Resistance to retreat. Despite their losses, the Resistance managed to uncover the Phantom Rubies' weakness, reclaim portions of the world, and blow up the Death Egg, which also served as a energy source for the Phantom Rubies.
Infuriated by the Resistance and their progress, Eggman and Infinite retreated to Metropolis until their final plan could be executed. There, Eggman was found by Sonic and Tails, who sought to capture him. However, the villain revealed one of his trump cards by instructing Infinite to form a portal into Null Space, which sucked in both Sonic and the Avatar after the former attempted to save Sonic. Tails voiced his shock at the Phantom Ruby's continued power despite the Death Egg's destruction. In response, Eggman revealed that he had a backup power-source hidden beneath the Eggman Empire Fortress. While losing his city to the Resistance however, Eggman saw, much to his shock, that Sonic and the Avatar had escaped from Null Space. Infuriated, he retreated to his fortress to enact his final plan.
When the Resistance came to the fortress to end the war, the organization fought the hundreds of Phantom Copies of Chaos, Shadow, Metal Sonic, and Zavok that were under Infinite's control. Despite Omega showing up aid to the Resistance, Infinite enacted Eggman's endgame: using his Phantom Ruby prototype, Infinite created a second sun, which began a collision course with the planet. Eggman then revealed his intentions to use this sun to completely destroy the Resistance. However, Eggman's doomsday plan was foiled when the Avatar used a Phantom Ruby prototype Infinite had missed to neutralize the second sun. Expressing disbelief that his plans were once again ruined, Eggman had his fleet, army, and Infinite launch a defensive attack. Meanwhile, Sonic and the Avatar soundly defeated Infinite. Eggman then arrived and expressed his admiration for Sonic's ability to always impress him. Revealing that he had one final play in hand however, Eggman retreated while the Resistance destroyed his backup reactor for his Phantom Rubies.
While Sonic believed that they had won, Eggman reappeared in a Death Egg Robot with the original Phantom Ruby incorporated into it. Proclaiming himself as Infinite's successor, Eggman used the Ruby to conjure up thousands of Phantom Copies to fight the resistance. When Classic Sonic and the Avatar managed to destroy the outer shell of the robot, Eggman ejected the core and created a dimension to have his final battle with them and Sonic. In the end, Eggman was defeated when the trio dealt his mech a final blow that destroyed the Phantom Ruby. As the Death Egg Robot exploded, the dimension collapsed and all the Phantom Copies disappeared, allowing the Resistance to claim final victory in the War to Take Back the Planet.
Team Sonic Racing[]
In Team Sonic Racing, Dr. Eggman observed the Grand Prix organized by Dodon Pa, who had convinced Team Sonic, Team Rose and Team Vector to participate in it. Eventually though, Eggman decided to step in and a throw a wrench into the heroes' plans. Having invented the Egg Booster for himself and appointed several Eggpawns as his teammates for Team Eggman, Eggman was ready to enter the Grand Prix himself. In the meantime, he had Orbot and Cubot remain on standby onboard his Final Fortress where they maintained his airship and vegetable garden.
Arriving at the Grand Prix alongside Team Dark, Team Eggman was introduced to the other racers by Dodon Pa. Tails immediately accused Eggman of being behind the Grand Prix, but Eggman insisted that he was only here to race. As Eggman bragged that his team was unstoppable, Sonic countered with a taunt.
During a race between Team Sonic and Team Dark, Dr. Eggman intruded on the two teams' race to compete alone under the pretense that he was there to race as a special guest. Although Dodon Pa knew it was a lie, he nonetheless allowed Eggman to compete, much to Eggman's surprise. As Sonic and Shadow began to gang up on him, Eggman asked Dodon Pa for help, who advised him to make use of the Wisp power-ups on the race tracks. Taking Dodon Pa's advice, Eggman used the Wisps to take the lead. However, Sonic and Shadow soon after took the lead again. Although Eggman saw this as little more than a temporary setback, he soon found himself surrounded by the other racers in the Grand Prix, who took him out with a combined Wisp assault. Although Eggman lost, his performance had taken up so much of Dodon Pa's attention that the Tanuki did not see whether Sonic or Shadow won the race, much to Eggman's joy. Still, Eggman moped that would have won if he had a team, to which Dondo Pa replied that he looked forward to his continued participation with a team since Eggman's passion against overwhelming odds was inspiring.[47]
Soon after, Eggman met up with Dodon Pa to discuss science with him. During their conversation, the Ultimate Energy Engine was brought up. This engine, which Donpa Motors was currently developing, was going to be the fastest and most powerful engine in the universe. After hearing about it, Eggman plotted to steal the Ultimate Energy Engine. Some time after, Eggman lost a race to Sonic, who asked him how many times he had been defeated by now. While Eggman replied that he did not keep scores, Orbot tried to provide the exact number. However, Eggman had Orbot zip it, and decided to up his game. Soon after, Eggman sent hundreds of Eggpawns after the racers on the race tracks. While the heroes managed to clear out the Eggpanws, Eggman promised that this was not the end, as he could built Eggpawns faster than they could destroy them. As the Grand Prix progressed though, Eggman and his team were not doing too well. Frustrated at his constant loses, Eggman concluded that something was wrong with his car, prompting Orbot to throw a sarcastic remark at him. After getting Orbot to shut up, Eggman decided to introduce an even better car: the Formula M. In addition, Eggman had Metal Sonic join his team so he could drive the Formula M.
Seeking to have someone steal the Ultimate Energy Engine, Eggman hired Zavok for the task. Before one of the races, Eggman secretly contacted Zavok, and gave him instructions to follow. Afterward, Eggman decided to have his team keep racing for now. Later, Eggman was getting more and more excited about the obtaining the Ultimate Energy Engine. While Eggman thought his plan infallible however, Orbot had listed several ways for it to fail, prompting Eggman to chide Orbot. Soon after though, Zavok was discovered by Sonic and the other racers. When Sonic asked Eggman if he was with him, Eggman faked ignorance. Regardless, he still had Zavok join his racing team, and provided him with the Road Dragoon. After the race, Eggman chided Zavok for letting himself be discovered. To make matters worse, Zavok had failed to located the Ultimate Energy Engine, making Eggman even more angry. Regardless, Eggman hoped that Zavok could prove himself on the race track. Not long after, Eggman heard Dodon Pa talk publicly about how he was developing the Ultimate Energy Engine. Later, before another race, Eggman was approached by Silver, who began interrogating him about what he and Dodon Pa talked about earlier. Seeing through Eggman, Silver correctly deduced Eggman's mission, his plan with Zavok, and his intention to use the engine for his own gain. Meanwhile, Eggman thought about using the engine to destroy Sonic. Having failed to cover up his intentions, Eggman instructed Metal Sonic and Zavok to win the next race at all costs. However, after a series of more defeats, Eggman would insulting Zavok and criticize his skills. Eventually though, Eggman offered Zavok a task he was more suited for: kidnapping Dodon Pa.
After Dodon Pa was kidnapped and brought onboard the Final Fortress, Eggman demanded to Dodon Pa that he handed the Ultimate Energy Engine over to him. However, Dodon Pa revealed that it was unfinished, making it useless. Furthermore, the racers had stopped racing, and without them producing Ultimate Team Energy, the engine could never be finished. Zavok then pointed out to Eggman that this was Eggman's own fault: by kidnapping Dodon Pa, he had brought the Grand Prix to a halt and stopped the racers from producing the necessary energy. Rather than taking responsibility for his actions though, Eggman tried to figure out a way to fix this mess. As Sonic and the other racers arrived to save Dodon Pa however, Eggman decided to trick the heroes into racing his henchmen and produce the rnergy they needed to finish the engine. By lying that he would set Dodon Pa free if they beat him in a series of races, he got the heroes to race his Eggpawws, then Zavok, and then Metal Sonic. In the final face, Eggman had the heroes race him as well (although he felt he made a fool out of himself on the track). In the end though, Dodon Pa finished the Ultimate Energy Engine, which Eggman promptly stole and incorporated into his Death Egg, which Eggman planned to crush Sonic with. Eggman subsequently pitted his Death Egg against all the racers, but Sonic still beat it. Eggman then planned to use the Death Egg to crush Sonic and his car. Unfortunately, the Death Egg went crazy and drove into the Final Fortress's energy core, causing the airship to start crashing. This prompted Eggman to escape the Final Fortress with his lackeys.
Sonic Frontiers[]
In Sonic Frontiers, Dr. Eggman learned of the Starfall Islands and the long-lost technology of a society known as the Ancients. As such, he set up a base on Kronos Island where he began developing his operations. He also created his most advanced artificial intelligence, which he code-named "Sage", to help him in his nasty plan.[48][49]
At a later point, Eggman deployed a robot copy of himself piloting a giant mech to fight Amy Rose on a nearby island. However, the robot was destroyed by the pink hedgehog with help of Sonic and Tails. Annoyed after receiving the news, the doctor decided to speed up his plans given the fact that his nemeses were on their way to stop him. Sage warned him that an accelerated timetable would not be a good idea, but the villain stated that its code was impeccable and that he had designed it to protect him. Upon his request, Sage would download itself into a drive that the scientist took.[48]
Flying off in the Egg Mobile to the outskirts of his base, Eggman approached one of the Ancients' Portals to Cyber Space. He inserted his drive into the Portal's dome, determined to learn about the secrets of this society. As he had anticipated, Ancient Soldiers appeared and surrounded him. However, Sage would initiate a protective initiative due to the scientist being attacked. This led to Eggman being sent to Cyber Space.
Some time after, Eggman would find himself stranded in the middle of Cyber Space, where he recognized the advanced technology that far surpassed his own. With no apparent way to escape this dimension, as "some force" was keeping him from doing so, the doctor began recording several audio files in at least twenty-four of his Egg Memos. Upon learning that Sonic had arrived on the Starfall Islands,[50] the villain ordered Sage to watch over the hedgehog, whilst also tasking it with finding a way out of Cyber Space. However, Sage made little progress in the latter; despite having ran over 1,700,050 simulations, it was unable to find a safe way for Eggman to go back home.
Over time, Eggman made more recordings of his experience in Cyber Space through his Egg Memos; some moments he recorded were his discoveries of locations from all around Sonic's universe being recreated in this dimension,[51][52] his ponders about how he could use the Ancients' technology to his advantage,[53] the age of the Ancients themselves,[54] the connections between that civilization and the Chaos Emeralds,[55] and his views regarding Sonic and his friends,[50][56][57][58] as well as his cousin Maria Robotnik.[59] Sage would also play a critical role in the doctor's survival in Cyber Space,[60] as it would inform him of nearby hostile entities and the events in the real world, and guide his past firewalls. Over time, the villain would grow a deep bond with his AI, who would exchange jokes with him[61] and make the scientist proud of "her", referring to her as a "very personable, adorable program".[62] As such, Eggman promised that he would grant her access to the EggNet and replace Orbot and Cubot once they returned home.[63] After Sage told Eggman of Sonic's battle with one of the Guardians, Eggman was impressed by his victory. Sage questions Eggman praising his arch-enemy. Eggman explains that even though he despises Sonic, he respects him for his relentlessness and skill and dominance over his enemies. Eventually, Sage found a possible way for the doctor to leave Cyber Space: to team up with Sonic, as he has done so before in the past. Eggman, however, refused to do so, telling her that he only teamed up with him out of desperation and commanded her to find another way.
Much later, after Sonic shut off all five towers on Rhea Island, Eggman and Sage had escaped Cyber Space. Upon returning to the real world, they found out, much to the former's delight specially, that the hedgehog had been corrupted by the Cyber Energy he had absorbed, turning him into a lifeless statue. Soon after, however, Sage recommended the doctor that he returned to Cyber Space so he could live, as a mighty creature called The End was being awakened after millenia and was preparing to consume all. Determined to drive back the corruption within Sonic, the hedgehog's friends sacrificed themselves to save him. Afterwards, much to Eggman's displeasure, Sonic had been cleansed of his Cyber Energy. After being convinced by Sage, the villain began a cooperation with his nemesis again to stop The End, but officially inducted him into the Eggman Empire. He then had his AI help the hedgehog collect the seven Chaos Emeralds.
Eventually finding one of the Chaos Emeralds on his own, Eggman gave it to Sonic, who had adquired the other six, so he could turn into Super Sonic and face Supreme. When the Titan was defeated, the doctor somberly ordered Sage to "fulfill her purpose". Complying, she merged with Supreme and helped Super Sonic fight their final foe: The End. Following an epic showdown, the unlikely duo ultimately defeated their enemy for good; however, Sage was ultimately destroyed when she merged with the creature to destroy it. Saddened by the loss of his "daughter", Eggman was left behind while Sonic and his friends went back home. Eventually though, the doctor was able to restore at least part of his AI.
The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog[]
In The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog, Dr. Eggman deviced yet another disgraceful scheme that involved modifying several cargo trains into passenger train-based, autonomous, Animal-powered Badniks to imprison civilians and destroy their home towns as part of a plan to build Eggmanland and another Death Egg. Amongst said trains was the Mirage Express, in which Sonic and his friends held Amy Rose's birthday party.[64] The scientist thus had the Badnik train head towards his base so he could take his nemeses out for good and carry out his plots unopposed.
Much later, Eggman would be informed of the heroes causing damage to the Mirage Express, and made a videocall that was answered by Sonic himself and an unnamed quokka. The doctor explained to the two his plans of destroying them and their friends and hung up. A while later, he ordered the train to accelerate so it could get to his fortress faster. However, when the group cooperated to stop the Mirage Express, Eggman's plans ultimately ended in failure. After waiting for a while at his base with the discouraged Sage and Metal Sonic, the disappointed doctor concluded that the train would never make it there and had Orbot and Cubot prepare a bath for him.
Animation[]
Classic Era[]
Sonic Mania Adventures[]
In Sonic Mania Adventures, during Sonic's absence, Dr. Eggman managed to collect four of the Chaos Emeralds that laid buried on Angel Island. When Sonic returned to Angel Island, Eggman made Sonic follow him to a clearing where he had set a trap for Sonic by flying over Sonic with a Capsule full of kidnapped Flickies in the Egg Mobile. Leaving the Capsule in the open, Sonic got caught in Eggman's trap when he opened the Capsule. As the Capsule turned into a timed bomb, Eggman appeared to gloat to Sonic. Eggman was then about to leave Sonic to get blown up until Sonic showed him the Chaos Emerald he had. Eggman promptly tried to steal it, but got lured into his own trap by Sonic, who proceeded to break free. Before Sonic left though, Eggman almost guilt-tripped Sonic into releasing him before his bomb could blow up. However, Eggman dropped his handheld, which revealed his plan to cheat Sonic and take his Emerald. Sonic thus accelerated the countdown on Eggman's bomb and left Eggman to have his bomb blow up in his face.
Detecting the next Chaos Emerald on the island, Eggman went to excavate it. While at work, he was confronted by Sonic, but Eggman repelled Sonic with his excavation mobile. Before Eggman got the Emerald however, Sonic returned with Tails. As the heroes smacked Eggman around, the doctor almost got Sonic with his excavation mobile, only to be foiled by Tails. The two heroes then critically damaged Eggman's excavation mobile, which led to Eggman getting sent flying when his machine blew up. Landing on Angel Island's beach, Eggman discovered via a Badnik that Knuckles had the Master Emerald out in the open, and began making an evil plan that involved the Tornado. Boarding the biplane, Eggman used it to take the Master Emerald while Knuckles was distracted. As Eggman flew away with the massive gem, Knuckles assumed that Sonic was behind the theft since all he could see was the hedgehog's plane taking the Emerald.
Having returned to his base, Eggman gleefully witnessed the arrival of Metal Sonic (who had found the last Chaos Emerald), Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Mighty, and Ray. When Metal Sonic returned, he gave the final Chaos Emerald to Eggman. Then, upon Sonic and Tails' arrival, Metal Sonic took the duo's two Chaos Emeralds. Eggman then left Metal Sonic to harness the power of all the Chaos Emeralds and take Sonic on. Even as Mighty and Ray entered the fray, the doctor remained undeterred. However, he was shocked when Tails trapped Metal Sonic and stripped him of all the Emeralds. Despite this setback, Eggman used his backup plan by having Metal Sonic harness the power of the Master Emerald. Unfortunately, Knuckles arrived and punched both Eggman and Metal Sonic out of Eggman's lair before anything could happen. Crashing in the jungle with Metal Sonic, Eggman cursed his defeat. When Metal Sonic would not work either, Eggman tried to make him rise by kicking him. When that did not work, a sour Eggman decided to abandon him in the jungle and left in a huff.
Several months later, during winter, Eggman heard someone use his doorbell. When Eggman went out to check his door however, all he found was Metal Sonic with a bow on his forehead and a flower in his hand. After examining Metal Sonic and his flower, Eggman decided to take Metal Sonic back and took him into his lair.
Trio of Trouble[]
Eggman was traveling through the ruins of Northstar Islands alongside Fang the Hunter and Trip the Sungazer, although because Fang had fallen asleep at the wheel of the Marvelous Queen and had a nightmare of being eliminated by Sonic and his friends, he ended up bumping into Eggman from behind, prompting the doctor to turn around and tell him off. He later stepped on a flower that Trip was admiring, greatly saddening her. Eggman also ended up obliviously setting off an arrow trap in the ruins, which also promptly activated several other traps that Fang nearly prevented from killing himself, Eggman, and Trip. Eggman then tells off Fang yet again for running him over earlier, before using his onboard light in his helmet to investigate the ruins room he was in, eventually finding a mural depicting the Black Dragon and proceeding to draw a crude copy of the mural due to realizing it would be invaluable to warding off Sonic, being completely oblivious to Fang and Trip's run-in with a giant snake.
Modern Era[]
Chao In Space[]
In Chao In Space, as Christmas was approaching, Dr. Eggman, disguised as Santa Claus, climbed up a giant mountain with the Neutral Garden on the top, hoping to steal the presents there. As he made his way up, however, a sleepwalker Neutral Chao ran towards him and punched him in the face, sending him plummeting down as a confused Sonic watched.

Each time however, Eggman managed to escape to the next Zone, although not before capturing more animals. Eventually though, after being defeated in Mechanical, Eggman tried fleeing into space, only for his Egg Mobile to give out. Crash-landing on earth, Eggman begrudgingly abandoned his wrecked Egg Mobile and his plans.

In the Adventure Tours mode in the Nintendo DS version of the game, Dr. Eggman and Bowser are the main antagonists. After they did not receive an invitation to the Winter Olympics, they decided to take revenge by getting the official Winter Olympics canceled and then establish their own winter Olympics. To accomplish this, Eggman kidnapped the Snow Spirits while Bowser melted the snow on Winter Island with his fire. In the end, the villains managed to catch almost every Snow Spirit, except for Frosty, which Eggman disregarded as five Snow Spirits were enough to make all the snow they would need. The others were locked in cages that Eggman and Bowser had left under the supervision of their allies. Unfortunately, Frosty would seek out Sonic and Mario to have them stop Eggman and Bowser and rescue the other Snow Spirits.
When Sonic and Mario reach Icepeak after freeing several Snow Spirits, Eggman and Bowser will show up to watch the heroes' clash with Rouge after they convinced her to face the heroes with a bribe consisting of Whitestones. When she is defeated however, Eggman and Bowser deny her their promised prize, prompting her to chase Eggman and Bowser away and making them drop one of the caged Snow Spirits for the heroes to free. However, the villains had managed to kidnap Frosty in the meantime and take him to Blizland, which they had turned into a common hideout that combined elements from Eggman's bases and Bowser's castles. When Sonic and Mario later reach the end of their hideout after freeing Frosty, Eggman and Bowser give them three final challenges to pass. The first is Blazing Bobsleigh, then Fever Hockey, and finally Extreme Snowboarding. Once their rivals have defeat them, they are disappointed that they lost, but are then angered about it and escape. In the aftermath, all the Snow Spirits have been freed and bring the snow back, thus allowing the winter Olympics to resume. After Bowser Jr. and Metal Sonic join the team, Bowser and Eggman can be challenged again. After losing, they decide to join the group to improve their skills with Mario and Sonic allowing it.
Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games[]
|
In the Wii version and Nintendo 3DS version of Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, Eggman appears as one of the playable characters. In the Wii version, Eggman also has the special skill, the Egg Spin, which he can use in certain Events to gain speed.
In this game, across both versions, Eggman has the following characteristics and icons:
Icon | Skill Type | Stats (Wii) | Class (3DS) | Special Skill | Flag |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Skill | Tricksters | Egg Spin |
In the Wii version of the game, a Mii costume based on Eggman can be unlocked in the game by either winning it through a Scratch Card or paying ten blank cards.
In the Nintendo 3DS version of the game, Eggman belongs to the Tricksters class and can only take part in sports events selected for this class. In the game's story mode, Dr. Eggman came to London and sat up his base inside Big Ben, where he practiced with Metal Sonic in preparation for the Olympic Games. One day, they traveled to the stadium where Dr. Eggman was frustrated by the lack of progress in Metal Sonic's speed, despite all the modifications Eggman had given him. Suddenly though, Bowser Jr. showed up and wanted to beat Metal Sonic in a race. Eggman accepted the offer on the condition that if Bowser Jr. lost, he would become his servant. To Eggman's surprise however, Metal Sonic lost the race, and the doctor had to keep his promise and tell Bowser about his son's performance. Eggman also wanted to research Bowser Jr. to collect data he could use to upgrade Metal Sonic. Bowser Jr., however, did not permit this as it was not a part of their deal. As compensation for this, he ordered Eggman to buy him a snack.
Later on, Eggman and Metal Sonic were practicing taekwondo in Eggman's base. However, when Eggman beat Metal Sonic, Orbot and Cubot suggested that Eggman had programmed Metal Sonic to lose to him. Needing someone else to test Metal Sonic on, Eggman joked that Orbot and Cubot should go up against him, which his lackeys thought he was serious about. As he told Orbot and Cubot to come up with something else, the pair would suddenly inform Eggman that they had noticed Waluigi on the monitor. Seeing him as a worthy opponent, Eggman and his robots went to the streets of London and detained Waluigi. Dr. Eggman suggested that he took part in a duel with Metal Sonic, which he got Waluigi to do by offering to help him win the title of Superstar from Luigi. After Waluigi lost, Eggman was pleased with the results and sent Waluigi off. However, Eggman saw that Metal Sonic lacked raw power. As such, the doctor sent Orbot and Cubot out to bring him Wario. During negotiations, Eggman arrived in person and agreed that if Wario could defeat Metal Sonic, he would give him Orbot and Cubot. If Metal Sonic won though, Wario had to give him something. After Wario was defeated, Eggman accepted a mysterious urn from him, which he was intrigued by. After returning to his base, Eggman placed the urn in his machine and opened it a bit. A piece of fog then came out of the urn and created a clone of Sonic. After Eggman defeated the clone, he closed the urn again. Eggman then explained to his robots that the urn contained the magical Phantasmal Fog, capable of creating copies of people you think about. He also explained that 300 years ago, these clones were supposed to deter robbers from stealing the urn. Regardless, Eggman decided to use it later, and for now focus on preparations for the Olympic Games.
Eggman later met Bowser during one afternoon in Hyde Park. There, they both complained that they had not received their invitations for the Olympic Games yet. They soon after met Amy and Peach, who offered to bring them their invitations in person if they won against them in a beach volleyball match. If they lost, however, they would have to wait for the invitations to come to them by mail. Even though the villains were defeated however, Amy and Peach decided to bring them their invitations. Toads later arrived, and Eggman and Bowser stopped them to ask them what they were doing. The Toads told them that they were helping with the invitations and were heading out to mail them. However, Eggman and Broawer got angry with them for causing the delay and scared the Toads off, causing them to drop a pair of invitations. Eggman and Bowser investigated the invitations and saw they were written by Peach and Amy, causing them to believe that they were love letters to Sonic and Mario instead of their invitations. Believing this was causing the delay, they took the invitations and headed off for sightseeing, planning to wait for their actual invitations to arrive in the mail. During this time, they completely forgot about their invitations. Later on, during one night, Eggman and Bowser were watching the city from their base, nervous that the Olympics would start without them. Outraged, Eggman decided to use the Phantasmal Fog to cover all of London in fog so that the Olympics could not proceed. Eggman also deployed Fog Machines throughout the city that were guarded by Bowser's servants and Eggman's allies.
After Sonic and Mario had destroyed most of the Fog Machines, Eggman created 3D holograms of himself and Bowser, which he sent to delay the destruction of the last two Fog Machines. Eggman's hologram was sent to stop Wario from destroying a Fog Machine in Eton Dorney, as he believed it would deter his enemies. Regardless, Wario defeated the hologram and got ready to destroy the Fog Machine, only to discover that this one was also a hologram, meaning the real one was elsewhere. Eggman's hologram then met Metal Sonic, and together with him, it set out to defend the last Fog Machine from Wario and Waluigi. However, Wario and Waluigi won their subsequent clash with Eggman and Metal Sonic, and Wario destroyed the last Fog Machine. Wario and Waluigi then kept an eye on the Eggman hologram until it disappeared. Eggman then decided to fully open the Fog urn in his base and unleash the full potential of the Phantasmal Fog. When Sonic and Mario later arrived to stop Eggman and Bowser's plan, the villains had been powered up by the power of the Phantasmal Fog. However, they were still defeated. Eggman's Master Fog Machine was subsequently destroyed and the Phantasmal Fog was returned to its Fog urn and closed for good. Eggman and Bowser then complained that the others had forgotten to give them invitations for the Olympics. However, Tails and Toad cleared up the misunderstanding by establishing that they could still sign up for the Olympics if they hurried. Eggman was later present at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
In the Nintendo 3DS version of the game, a badge of Eggman can also be obtained from the badge machine.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020[]
In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, Eggman is a playable character in both the Nintendo Switch and arcade version of the game.
In the Nintendo Switch version of the game, Eggman appears as one of the main antagonists in the story mode. In this mode, Eggman created the Tokyo '64 console, within which he recreated the world of the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Then, thanks to a Magikoopa's spell, he designed the console to create a beam of light that would trap anyone touched by the light inside the console. Eggman and Bowser then sent the game to Sonic and Mario, hoping to trap the heroes inside the Tokyo '64. However, while the villains hid to watch the results, Bowser got impatient, which led to Eggman, Bowser, Sonic, Mario and Toad all getting sucked into the Tokyo '64. Inside the heavily pixelated world of the Tokyo '64, Eggman and Bowser's plot was realized by the heroes, who asked for a way out. Eggman, however, claimed there was no way back to the real world. Eggman then encouraged Bowser to compete with him in the Olympic Games featured inside the Tokyo '64 so they could win gold medals. However, the villains soon found themselves facing Sonic and Mario, who had decided to compete as well. During the ensuing event, Eggman was beaten by Sonic, who claimed the medal. After Bowser then lost to Mario, Eggman tried telling Bowser in secret that the medals were needed to escape the Tokyo '64, and that his earlier claim about there being no escape was a lie to hide the truth from Sonic and Mario. However, the two then saw that Toad had been listening. Eggman and Bowser proceeded to sneak away before Sonic and Mario could confront them. Eggman then led Sonic on a wild goose chase to stall him while he searched for more venues.
Eggman and Bowser later met up in the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium. However, their plan to get medals unopposed were foiled when Sonic and Mario showed up. There, Eggman was forced to tell the heroes the truth about the way out of the Tokyo '64. With the heroes refusing to let the villains get the medals, Eggman was challenged by Mario to an event. After Mario claimed the gold, Bowser began billettering Eggman, who refuting that the heroes would not know what to do with the medals. As Eggman and Bowser later tried discussing what the medals were used for, they noticed Sonic nearby. Eggman thus tried to make up a lie, before leaving with Bowser. Later, in Nippon Budokan, Eggman and Bowser tried to win the gold, only for Sonic and Mario to show up. There, Sonic beat Bowser and earned another medal. Eggman then had him and Bowser split up for now and devise a new plan somewhere else. After Eggman tried to throw Sonic off his trail, he reunited with Bowser at the Olympic Cauldron in the National Stadium. There, Eggman revealed to Bowser that by inserting fourteen gold medals into fourteen keyholes underneath the Olympic Cauldron, one would be able to escape the Tokyo '64. However, the villains soon discovered that Sonic, Mario and Toad had been snooping on their conversation. Accepting that the secret was out, Eggman decided to get more medals than everyone, with Bowser following him to another venue. Followed by the heroes to the National Gymnasium, Eggman challenged Sonic to an event, but lost. Soon after though, a screen that eventually said that "Power-up Items" from Eggman Nega were on the way appeared.
As mysterious items fell all over the digital world, Eggman and Bowser hurried out to get them and use them to win medals. At the Tokorozawa Shooting Range, Eggman got a hold of a "Miracle Roll" power-up which he used to amplify his skills. Confronted then by the trio of heroes, Eggman took on Mario, but lost the medal to Mario in spite of his power boost. As such, Eggman left to find more Miracle Rolls. He eventually tried to get one from Tokyo Tower, but was foiled by Sonic and Mario. Eggman later reconvened with Bowser in the National Stadium where they discussed their status until Sonic and Mario came. There, Eggman was challenged by Mario to an event to test their power. Though Eggman lost the event, he was sure that he could just call Eggman Nega for more power-ups. When he did however, everything around them began flickering, which was a sign that the Tokyo '64 was running out of battery. Sonic wondered what it would mean to them if the battery ran out, to which Eggman said that they would all vanish. This prompted the villains to challenge the heroes to another event to get the medals needed to escape to the real world. With the heroes accepting the challenge, the group went to the Komazawa Olympic Park General Sports Ground. There, Eggman's team of Eggrobos lost to Sonic and his team of Pockies. Regardless, Bowser assured Eggman that they still had the final event left and that they could just take Sonic and Mario's medals if needed.
Heading to the National Stadium, Eggman and Bowser met Sonic and Mario there, where Mario faced Bowser in the final event. After Mario won the last gold medal, Eggman reminded Bowser to initiate their plan about stealing the medals. However, Bowser could not find the medals after knocking out Sonic and Mario. After Toad revealed that Sonic and Mario had given him the medals for safekeeping, Eggman tried to come up with a new plan, but Sonic and Mario reminded them that they did not have much time left and that they should team up to get out. Agreeing to simply have a showdown with their arch enemies once they were out, Eggman and Bowser agreed to the offer. The group thus went to the Olympic Cauldron and placed the gold medals into the keyholes. Soon after, a column of light appeared to take them back to the real world. While this was happening however, everything around them began to flicker again, signifying that the battery had run out. The group subsequently began to fade away while unable to reach the escape route. Fortunately, they were saved in the last second when Tails and Luigi replaced the battery on the Tokyo '64. Now restored, Eggman and the others reached the exit and return to the real world.
After Eggman complemented Eggman Nega for his hand in getting them out of the Tokyo '64, he and Bowser confronted Sonic and Mario, ready to settle things with them. As such, Eggman and Bowser faced Sonic and Mario in a 100m event, alongside other competitors. After they lost, Eggman and Bowser got mad, but quickly got over it.

Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood[]
In Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, Eggman was originally an evil genius bent on world domination, which brought him into many conflicts with Sonic and his friends.[65] Eventually, the doctor was seemingly killed after his Egg Carrier was hijacked by the heroes, causing it to crash in his base in Metropolis. In truth, however, he had actually survived and went into hiding for a very long time, having built a robot that would heal his injuries.
When the Nocturnus Clan began causing havok on earth, Eggman was located in Green Hill Zone by Sonic and his friends. There, he claimed that he had changed and teamed up with the heroes to defeat the clan of echidnas. The "reformed" doctor then helped the team reach Metropolis when Angel Island was being pulled there by the Nocturnus Clan. During this, he would befriend Tails because of their shared intellect. When the clan's leader, Ix, later made a portal that lead to their home in the Twilight Cage, Eggman and the fox built a vehicle that helped them enter that dimension. While the hedgehog and his crew left, however, the doctor stayed behind, claiming that he was doing so to prepare for an impeding Nocturnus invasion should the heroes fail.[65] In truth though, the villain had used the years that had trespassed to successfully conquer all of earth and finally establish the Eggman Empire unopposed.

Sonic Runners[]
In Sonic Runners, Dr. Eggman returned once more to conquer the world. To this end, he spent the next period attempting several malicious plots to his benefit with the aid of his lackeys, such as kidnaping Animals to use as power sources, hunting Wisps on earth to harness their Hyper-go-on, harassing Chao with his construction efforts, building new and improved Badnik armies, and attempting to procure the Master Emerald. Every step of the way however, his plans got foiled by Team Sonic.
For his final scheme, Eggman revised one of his old plans by building another Brainwashing Laser to control the world with, except this time it would be powered by the Chaos Emeralds. Although Team Sonic kept interfering with his operations, Eggman was succesful in extracting all the energy from the Emeralds for his laser. When it came to the final showdown with Team Sonic, Eggman tried using his Brainwashing Laser on Sonic after the doctor was defeated by him. However, the Chaos Emeralds that Sonic held absorbed the energy from the laser and transformed Sonic into Super Sonic. As Super Sonic destroyed his laser, Eggman snuck away to plot his next scheme.
Sonic Runners Adventure[]
In Sonic Runners Adventure, Dr. Eggman began another attempt to brainwash the world into serving him. For this scheme, Eggman build another mind control cannon, one powered by the latent energies in Sky Sanctuary and a new Extractor.
Arriving on South Island, Eggman captured Tails using his mind control ray and forced him to build him a robot teleporter. While Eggman built up his Badnik army however, Sonic would arrive and free Tails before confronting Eggman. Forced to retreat by the blue hedgehog, Eggman fled to Desert Ruins through Tails' teleporter. After Tails then made a mess of Eggman forces and defeated him in battle, Eggman fled to Lava Mountain. There, Knuckles shut down Eggman's Extractor despite Eggman's attempts to stop him. Fleeting to Sky Sanctuary after that to salvage what remained of his plans, Eggman managed to escape Sonic by using his mind control ray on him. However, Team Sonic destroyed Eggman's mind control cannon not long after. Eggman was then dealt another defeat by Sonic. Making another escape, Eggman promised the heroes revenge.

Sonic Speed Simulator[]
In Sonic Speed Simulator, Dr. Eggman appears amidst the game's v1.4 update during the "Save Amy Event". Here, he appears on the menu containing the details for this event, gloating that he has captured Amy Rose, Lychee Chao, Dragon Fruit Chao, and Strawberry Chao in a giant Chaos Orb, and that only pink crystals can free them. As the player accumulates pink crystals, Eggman tries to demotivate them from collecting more pink crystals. He also appears in messages on the HUD when thresholds are reached and Chao is unlocked. When Eggman's final captive, Amy, has been unlocked/freed, Eggman will appear on the screen with the details of the event where jumps in anger and announces that he will have his revenge and be back.
In the game v1.6 update during the "Chemical Plant Event", Eggman appears on the surrounding screens when the player first enters Chemical Plant, being responsible for capturing Stealth Suit Sonic in a trap that repeatedly electrocutes him, with the doctor boasting that nothing can break the trap except for Data Disks. As the player accumulates Data Disks, the villain gets more and more frustrated. When Stealth Suit Sonic has been unlocked/freed, Eggman, enraged, resorts to charging Metal Sonic's pod which would hopefully reactivate him.
In the Shadow the Hedgehog event, Eggman catches Shadow and locks him in the Arsenal Pyramid but is then freed by the player.

At that time, there was opposition between "developers" and "environmentalists", and Robotnik was created to represent machinery and development. As far as design, Mr. Oshima (the team member in charge of character designs) was trying to create something easy enough so that kids would be able to draw the characters. That's why the rotund character was created."

- ↑ Sonic Team (November 8, 2022). Sonic Frontiers. PlayStation 5. Sega. Area/level: Fish-o-pedia. "Egg Memo 7 - Who were the Ancients? They predate any civilization by a wide margin. The echidnas? Pfft. The Black Arms? Please. The Babylonians? Hardly! And yet they didn't seem to influence the world beyond these three piddly islands. Why? What stopped them from conquering the world?"
- ↑ Sonic Team (November 8, 2022). Sonic Frontiers. PlayStation 5. Sega. Area/level: Fish-o-pedia. "Egg Memo 8 - I'm finding multiple connections between the Ancients and the Chaos Emeralds. Their technology seems built with the Emeralds in mind. It's almost like they share the same origin. I enjoy a good mystery, but not when the answers are more mysteries! Argh!"
- ↑ Sonic Team (November 8, 2022). Sonic Frontiers. PlayStation 5. Sega. Area/level: Fish-o-pedia. "Egg Memo 22 - It appears Amy Rose has been dragged into the mix. Clever girl. Tenacious. She's come a long way since being an easy pawn in my schemes to ensnare Sonic. It seems like she had some trouble finding herself. But when you hang around with someone with as big an ego as Sonic, self-identification has to be a challenge."
- ↑ Sonic Team (November 8, 2022). Sonic Frontiers. PlayStation 5. Sega. Area/level: Fish-o-pedia. "Egg Memo 23 - Knuckles is here too. What a rube. That hair-trigger of his is a problem, but also a boon when I can get him to go off in the right direction. Wait! If he's here, that means the Master Emerald is unguarded! Its power will be mine! Oh. No, wait. I'm stuck here. Phooey."
- ↑ Sonic Team (November 8, 2022). Sonic Frontiers. PlayStation 5. Sega. Area/level: Fish-o-pedia. "Egg Memo 24 - Sonic's here, so it's no surprise Tails is too. It's a pity. Young Prower has a keen mind and loads of potential. Yet he's fixated on worshipping Sonic. Then again, maybe that's for the best. Given all the trouble he gave me in Station Square and on the ARK, I think I prefer him wasting his potential lingering in Sonic's shadow."
- ↑ Sonic Team (November 8, 2022). Sonic Frontiers. PlayStation 5. Sega. Area/level: Fish-o-pedia. "Egg Memo 17 - I never really knew my cousin, Maria. Everyone spoke of her like she was very special. All that love for someone who was gone when I was! Right! There! But I have to wonder. Back then, was she anything like Sage is now?"
- ↑ Sonic Team (November 8, 2022). Sonic Frontiers. PlayStation 5. Sega. Area/level: Chaos Island. "Eggman: I've lost count of how many times you've saved me from the hazards here. / Sage: It is my function. I live to serve. / Eggman: You've exceeded your function! I'm very impressed with you, Sage. No! I'm proud of you!"
- ↑ Sonic Team (November 8, 2022). Sonic Frontiers. PlayStation 5. Sega. Area/level: Fish-o-pedia. "Egg Memo 18 - Sage told the funniest joke during her report. 'How fast can Sonic screw things up? Instantly - he's the fastest thing alive!' I tell you, she's a chip off the old block. Well, for a program, I mean. It's not like she's alive. Or family. Or... hmm."
- ↑ Sonic Team (November 8, 2022). Sonic Frontiers. PlayStation 5. Sega. Area/level: Fish-o-pedia. "Egg Memo 16 - Sage has been crucial to my survival here in Cyber Space. Early warnings of hostile entities, guiding my past firewalls, keeping me updated on progress in the real world - she's the best. 'She?' 'It.' It's a program. An adorable program. A very personable program. A... hmm. I wonder if... she... has a preference?"
- ↑ Sonic Team (November 8, 2022). Sonic Frontiers. PlayStation 5. Sega. Area/level: Ares Island. "Sage: Then the robot hit him [Sonic] again! / Eggman: I look forward to your battle reports once we're home. / Sage: Home? / Eggman: I'll integrate you into my system, give you control of the whole EggNet. I'll have you network all my robots. You'll be a refreshing change of pace from Orbot and Cubot."
- ↑ Sega (March 31, 2023). The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog. Steam. Sega. Area/level: Dining Car. "Sonic: You got some nerve showing up here, Egghead. / Eggman: Hohoho, you spikey blue pest! Seems you've finally taken passage on one of my passenger trains. [...] The infrastructure in your towns just wasn't cutting it. If I were to build Eggmanland, these problems would need sorting out! So, I courageously got involved! I converted some cargo trains into passenger trains for the sake of the public... It's just more useful for future schemes. / Sonic: Let me guess... another death egg,[sic] Doctor Predictable? / Eggman: The people fear giant spheres! It's science!"
- ↑ 65.0 65.1 BioWare (September 25, 2008). Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. Nintendo DS. Sega. Area/level: Codex. "Eggman - Dr. Robotnik (a.k.a. Eggman) was once an evil genius bent on world domination, a career choice that has brought him into conflict with Sonic and his friends many, many times. His first plan involved imprisoning animals inside robots to serve his every whim, but when Sonic thwarted that evil plan, he moved on to bigger, deadlier pursuits. An engineering genius with an IQ of 300, Eggman is a master at building disastrously destructive machines, nigh-impenetrable fortresses, and diabolical robots that could have conquered the world many times over. Thankfully, every time Eggman hatched an evil plan, Sonic and his friends were there to stop him! The newly-reformed Eggman helped the team find a way to enter the Twilight Cage, making friends with Tails in the process. He stayed behind when the team took off to prepare for an impending Nocturnus invasion should the team fail."
