Metal Sonic

Metal Sonic (メタルソニック) is a robotic doppelganger of Sonic the Hedgehog built by Dr. Eggman who appears as the secondary antagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog Series. When he isn't a mindless pawn of his creator, Metal Sonic is single-mindedly determined to prove himself the real Sonic by destroying the original to the point of betraying Eggman when he has deemed him incapable.

==Forms==
===Giga Metal===
Giga Metal refers to two similar forms that appear in Knuckles' Chaotix and Sonic Mania, that both greatly increase his size and make him more feline in form. The version from Knuckles' Chaotix is achieved using the power of a Chaos Ring, while the version from Sonic Mania is achieved using the Phantom Ruby, which sits in a glass case on Giga Metal's stomach.
===Neo Metal Sonic===
Metal Sonic transforms into Neo Metal Sonic at some point prior to Sonic Heroes. In this form his head has five long quills rather than the usual three, his face and quills have white markings similar to Shadow's, his body becomes more armoured, and he gains a spiky belt with a black cape.
In this form, Metal Sonic is able to turn into liquid metal and shapeshift into the appearance of others, and can fire lightning bolts from his hands.
====Metal Madness====
Neo Metal Sonic further transforms into Metal Madness by combining the data of Team Sonic, Team Dark, Team Rose and Team Chaotix with the data of Chaos, becoming a large mechanical dragon armed with a flamethrower and large detachable claws. His transformation is still incomplete at this stage, and his lower half is merely a mass of large cables still connected to the Final Fortress.
====Metal Overlord====
Metal Overlord is the completed form of Metal Madness, that is now able to move using a pair of mechanical wings attached to his lower body. In this state he is able to fly at incredible speeds, fire his claws at far greater speeds, and can perform Chaos powers using the data copied from Shadow. He is nearly invulnerable in this state, taking the combined power of Team Super Sonic to deal any damage to him.
==Sonic the Hedgehog CD==
Metal Sonic debuted as a character in Sonic the Hedgehog CD for the Sega CD. He first appears at the start of Collision Chaos Zone 1, where he will kidnap Amy Rose in front of the player before escaping out of reach.
Metal Sonic is later encountered as the boss of Stardust Speedway Zone 3, where unlike the usual boss battle, he will challenge Sonic to a race to the finish. Metal Sonic cannot be touched by Sonic's attacks during this race, and he will destroy spikes upon contact. Metal Sonic will also periodically use one of two moves depending on Sonic's relative position to him. He will use the V. Maximum Overdrive Attack if Sonic is ahead of him, surrounding himself in harmful energy and gaining a large burst of speed which can only be outrun by using the Super Peel-Out. If Metal Sonic holds the lead then he will use the Ring Spark Field, giving him a harmful electrical field but also slowing him down. During the race, Dr. Eggman will be following behind the racers in an Egg Mobile which emits a high-powered laser from the bottom capable of killing the player in a single hit regardless of any protection he holds. Eggman will speed up as the race progresses, making it more difficult to avoid death if the player falls behind.
At the end of the race there is another door which will automatically close once one of the two racers enters. If Metal Sonic wins the race, he will taunt the player as Eggman inevitably catches up and kills the player. If Sonic wins, Metal Sonic will crash into the door and die, leaving Eggman to flee and allowing the player to free Amy Rose and complete the level.
In the Japanese and European versions of the game, the Bad Future music will play during the race regardless of the Future that the player is in. This is also the case for the 2011 remaster regardless of the soundtrack selected.

==Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble==
Metal Sonic reappears as a surprise boss in Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble for the Sega Game Gear, this time fought in an actual battle in Atomic Destroyer Zone Act 2. Metal Sonic will ambush the player as the fly down a long corridor with the Rocket Shoes/Heli-Tails powerup and knock them to the ground before beginning the battle.
Metal Sonic has a simple attack pattern, flying from either end of the screen and diving at the player in an effort to deal contact damage. This provides the player with a chance to damage Metal Sonic. After Metal Sonic has been hit 4 times, he will use the V. Maximum Overdrive Attack to temporarily become invulnerable and dash across the bottom of the screen. After repeating this six times he will return to his regular attack pattern, and will switch between the two periodically. After being hit a further 8 times he will be critically damaged and slowly retreat off the screen, allowing the player to progress to the final stage.

==Sonic Drift 2==
Metal Sonic appears as one of the seven playable characters in Sonic Drift 2, where he drives a blue racecar named the Blue Devil.
He has very high acceleration and the highest top speed in the game, but also has the worst handling. His special ability is the Super Dash, which gives him a brief burst of speed. It acts as a superior version of Sonic's Dash ability with greater power and acceleration, though it costs 3 Rings rather than the 2 that all other abilities cost.
Metal Sonic's race in the Final Chaos GP is against Sonic.
==Sonic the Fighters==
Metal Sonic appears as the penultimate boss of Sonic the Fighters's story mode, where he is fought at Death Egg's Eye. After he is defeated, the player will be taken to Death Egg's Hangar, where they will face Dr. Eggman.
The 2011 port added Metal Sonic as a playable character, accessed by pressing Start while hovering over Sonic.

Metal Sonic makes a brief cameo in Sonic Adventure for the Sega Dreamcast, resting inside a stasis tube in the hub area of Final Egg alongside Silver Sonic II. Metal Sonic can also be seen in a flashback during Amy's story when she remembers him chasing after her and Sonic in Sonic CD, though the locations used resemble early versions of Windy Valley and Sky Chase.
Metal Sonic is also a hidden playable character in the remaster Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut, unlocked after collecting all of the Emblems. He plays identically to Sonic, even being able to drown in water, though he has different visual effects and sound effects.
