You dopey duncebots! Can't you do anything right? Now I'll have to do my own dirty work and blend those beans.

— Dr. Robotnik, Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (16-bit)

Dr. Robotnik is the thirteenth and final boss in the 16-bit version and 8-bit version of Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine.

Boss guide

Like with the other bosses, the battle against Dr. Robotnik takes place in two "dungeons" on each side, the left one being from the player and the right one from the doctor. To defeat Robotnik, the player has to fill his dungeon to the point where he is unable to drop any more beans. This can be done by dropping Refugee Beans into his dungeon, though Robotnik himself can fill his own dungeon by accident.

During the battle, Robotnik will be extremely aggressive, and the beans will drop at an incredibly fast rate, forcing the player to watch out for upcoming beans to be able to perform combos. In addition, the doctor's AI is able to place beans very accurately, rarely doing any errors, though his AI is pretty weak at recovering from combos.

The player loses when their dungeon is full of beans. After that, they are sent to a Continue screen and given the option to play again. If they win, however, the game will lead to the credits screen.

Trivia

• Robotnik has the same AI as Satan/Dark Prince from Puyo Puyo, the game on which Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is based.
  • Both characters are also the main antagonists of their respective series.

Romance

Dr. Robotnik has had a number of romantic interests throughout the series, though the only woman he has ever truly loved was a red head woman named Lucinda. Unfortunately for the evil doctor, the feeling was not mutual and she married her true love, Lucas. After that, other women have shown interest in Robotnik such as the beautiful Katella, the hideous Snow Height, and the crafty Sonic in disguise, but Robotnik never seems interested in having a relationship with any of them.

Over the course of the show, Robotnik had two robot wives. His first robot wife, Omeletta, was built out of the Doctor's frustration at Scratch and Grounder's poor homemaking skills and a longing for companionship, although he regarded her more as a maid than a partner. Omeletta initially had little will of her own besides serving Robotnik, but after exposure to water caused her to short-circuit, she gained both independence and a spiteful attitude towards her husband, and was not seen again afterwards other than Robotnik mentioning she "didn't work out" in passing. His second robot wife, simply called "RoboWife", was created by Wes Weasley in an effort to make Robotnik appear to be more of a family man in order to aid his election campaign for President of Mobius. This relationship was merely for show, with Robotnik appearing openly annoyed by Robowife's cheeryness. Their fake relationship ultimately fell apart when Sonic set Robotnik up to appear unfaithful in order to sabotage his election campaign, with RoboWife quickly changing her romantic focus to Henry Walrus.

Trivia

• This is the first animated incarnation of the same character Dr. Robotnik/Eggman.
• This is the first incarnation of the character to have a foreign accent, he speaks in an upper-class British accent as being voiced by the famous British singer and actor Long John Baldry.
• Jim Cummings who voiced him in the pilot, would go on to play his Sonic the Hedgehog television series potrayal, albeit with a more sinister tone. Whereas in the pilot for this series, he voiced the doctor with a voice sounding like Peg Leg Pete which Disney character Cummings is well known for voicing.
• This incarnation has notably become the center of a slew of internet memes, one of them being Snooping as usual i see? due to the emphasis Robotnik puts on the syllables "ping as" sounding like a ribald word, from Boogie-Mania.
• This design of Dr. Ivo Robotnik appeared in many counterparts other than Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, including Sonic the Comic, Sonic Adventures, and the Troll Associates books, and the LadyBird books, it was also used in the educational game under the name Sonic's Schoolhouse. It was also modified to another counterpart of the Sonic the Hedgehog television series, which also was used in other media. In Sonic Spinball (16-bit), Robotnik is seen wearing a bodysuit and gauntlets that appear to be slightly based off the ones from this incarnation. Its also more noticeable in an early screenshot of a deleted cutscene for the game. Not only just that, in the final battle of the 8-bit version of the game, Robotnik's in-game sprite has an appearence similar to this depiction.
  • This design has even made its way into the American and European artwork for the main video game series in the 90s. It has also been used for the front covers of Sonic Spinball (8-bit) and Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble.
  • Additionally, his Japanese design wearing his signature attire from this incarnation, save for wearing his white gloves rather than his gray gauntlets appears on an official Puyo Puyo calender in reference to Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine.
  • This incarnation was also used as Sega World Sydney's mascot of him in line with the Sonic in Sydney live shows.
  • His Paramount counterpart in the early storyboards for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (film), is seen wearing a bodysuit like his one in the previous film rather than a trench coat that has a belt going around his waist with a circular buckle in the center, and a line up to his neck bearing a resemblance this incarnations signature bodysuit.
    • Additionally, his said counterparts eyes have gained visible dark circles around them in the sequel which may be a partial nod to the ones from this incarnation.
• Robotnik was shown to be afraid of the snakes from Chef Wolfgang Puke's cake, yet, once, he had a pet spitting cobra named Spalding.
• In Japanese material referencing Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, Robotnik is sometimes referred to as "Doctor Eggman" (ドクター・エッグマン, Dokutā Egguman^?), possibly because of the name "Robotnik" rarely being in use there.
  • In the West, "Eggman" was also used to refer to Robotnik in Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut and Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclo-speed-ia, even though "Robotnik" was used as well.
  • Most likely as a coincidence, "Eggman" was also a nickname Tails used to mock Robotnik once. This would mark one of the earliest instances this name was used in the West.
• Despite his high intelligence, Dr. Robotnik has many spelling errors, as he once misspelled the English word kidnapped as "cidnapped".
• Robotnik's name, Ivo, has been pronounced in different ways throughout the show. Once, he pronounced his name as "ee-vo" (probably because of the phonetic similarity it has with the word evil), whereas, on another occasion, Scratch pronounced his name as "eye-vo".
• The name Dr. Ivo Robotnik may be a reference to his appearance, as Ivo written backwards is ovi, which means egg in Latin, a reference to Robotnik's fondness for eggs.
  • "Robotnik" is an actual word, meaning worker in Polish and slave in Slovak. This could explain Dr. Robotnik's preference for having enslaved people and robots as his minions.
  • The name "Ivo" itself is also in fact a given name in real life that is European in origin.
• In the 16-bit version of Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, Dr. Robotnik's pupils are seen to be white, although they are seen as scorch color in the cutscenes, while on the box art they are colored red as they are supposed to be.
  • This is also seen on the box art of Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble.
• In the Hispanic American version of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Dr. Robotnik is named "Doctor Mostachón" (Spanish for "Doctor Big Moustache"). The name would be taken over to his Sonic the Hedgehog (TV series) counterpart.
• This incarnation of him loosley resembles his appearence seen on the western Sonic the Hedgehog 2 box art covers. The latters menacing black eyes and orange-ish moustache suggest that they were a loose basis for the ones seen on the former.
• In the credits sequence of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Robotnik is seen wearing a small yellow cape, similar to the one worn by his game counterpart.
