Doctor Eggman

Dr. Ivo Robotnik, better known as Dr. Eggman, is the primary antagonist in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise and the arch nemesis of Sonic the Hedgehog, much in the same manner as Bowser's conflict with Mario. In a similar vein to Bowser, he has had a history of occasionally teaming up with Sonic the Hedgehog to face greater threats in their home reality and has friendly sports competitions with the hedgehog in the Mario & Sonic series. He is a genius with an IQ of 300, and his goal and dream is to dominate the world and build the Eggman Empire.
Dr. Eggman appears in the Mario & Sonic series as a playable character. He is currently voiced by Mike Pollock, who has been the main voice actor for Dr. Eggman since Shadow the Hedgehog.

====Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games====
Eggman appears as a playable character in the sequel Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, and appeared in the first trailer for the game along with Sonic the Hedgehog, Mario, and Wario. He is again a skill type character. In the Wii and Nintendo DS version, Eggman also has the special skill, the Egg Spin, which he can use in certain events to gain speed. In the Wii version of the game, a Mii costume based on Eggman can be unlocked in the game after winning five gold or/and 1st place medals in any Olympic/Dream Events with Eggman and then buying the costume in the boutique. In the DS version of the game, he is one of the two main antagonists of Adventure Tour along with Bowser. 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 the Bat 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.
====Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games====
Dr. Eggman appears once again as a Skill type playable character in the Wii version of Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games. He has a very high Technique level and performs well at events such as Gymnastics. He appears alongside all of the other athletes at the start of the game's opening, as well as later appearing competing in Badminton - Doubles and Track Cycling - Team Pursuit. An outfit based on Dr. Eggman can be unlocked for Miis to wear. In the Nintendo 3DS version of the game, a badge of Eggman can also be obtained from the badge machine.
In the Nintendo 3DS version, Dr. Eggman is included in the Tricksters class and is hence only playable in certain Events. In the Story Mode, Dr. Eggman first appears in the opening, in which he and Bowser reveal and begin their plan to cover London with Phantasmal Fog to prevent the Olympic Games from happening as they had not been invited. Dr. Eggman is then discovered to be partially behind the appearance of the fog in The Mysterious Thief when Rouge remembers that he brainwashed her, and also in Enter Bowser?! when Bowser Jr. accidentally mentions him having discussions with Bowser. Toad reveals that he heard Dr. Eggman was at the British Museum in Mario and Sonic, and he and the Heroes group later find Eggman Nega there filling in as a favour. They later find out that Dr. Eggman had visited the museum to gather information about the Phantasmal Fog. Wario later encounters Dr. Eggman and defeats him in an Event in an attempt to destroy a Fog machine and get some money, but the machine is revealed to be a hologram and Dr. Eggman escapes. Wario and Waluigi later find him with Metal Sonic, and defeat them in an Event to destroy the real fog machine and try to get some compensation. In The Banana Incident, it is also revealed that Dr. Eggman had installed a chip in Omega to have him perform task for him. In Clear Skies Again, it is revealed that the Dr. Eggman Wario and Waluigi cornered was a hologram, and Dr. Eggman releases the fog over London once again. In To the Ruins!, Omega recovers enough of his memory to establish more of the details of Dr. Eggman's plan, as well as revealing his lab to be within Big Ben. In The Grand Showdown, Mario, Luigi, Sonic and Tails arrive to confront Dr. Eggman and Bowser, who have been powered up by the Phantasmal Fog, and Mario and Sonic defeat them both in an Olympic Event. After the fog is sealed away, Dr. Eggman and Bowser reveal their motives for their plan, and Toad calls them over the walkie-talkie to inform them that they can still compete if they go to the Main Stadium, and the pair accept the offer, later appearing at the opening ceremony. Dr. Eggman is mentioned to be causing trouble with his robots in the first two Challengers bonus episodes, and appears in Junior Triumphant, in which he agrees to let Bowser Jr. challenge Metal Sonic, aiming to help refine the robot. Dr. Eggman also appears in the Tricksters Bonus episodes, in which he trains Metal Sonic to improve him for the Olympic Games, first against Waluigi, and later against Wario, from whom he obtains the Fog urn. In The Fog Returns, he uses the Phantasmal Fog from the urn to create a Fog Imposter of Sonic, and later explains the history of the fog to Orbot, Cubot and Metal Sonic. Dr. Eggman's invitation is frequently referred to in the Girls Bonus episodes, as it is accidentally ruined twice, delaying the invitations being sent out, causing him and Bowser to investigate the delay in The Real Beginning. After losing to Peach and Amy in an event, the pair wait for their invitations, but find them dropped by some Toads and mistake them for love letters, causing them to leave and head off sightseeing. A badge of Dr. Eggman can also be obtained from the badge machine.
Interestingly, Dr. Eggman's bio from the game's website suggests that he is a good character to use for the Rings event, despite the fact that Dr. Eggman is not playable in the event.
====Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games====
Dr. Eggman also appears in Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games. He retains his role from previous titles, being a playable Skill type character. In this game, Eggman has the special skill, the Egg Spin, which he can use in certain events to gain speed. In Legends Showdown, Eggman is on the fifth team, along with Metal Sonic, Bowser and Bowser Jr. Also, a Mii costume based on Eggman can be unlocked in the game by performing a perfect landing at least six times in a single Roller Coaster Bobsleigh race.
==== Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games ====
Dr. Eggman returns yet again in Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. In the Nintendo 3DS version, he is exclusive to 110m Hurdles and Equestrian.
====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 Toyko 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.
In the Nintendo Switch version of the game, Eggman is playable in both the 2020 and the 1964 events, the latter in which Eggman possesses his sprite-based appearance from the original Sonic the Hedgehog, and has the following characteristics:

===Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games===
Although the devious Dr. Eggman has great Skill-based abilities, he also is quite powerful. His huge, lumbering frame doesn't give the impression that he would be good at gymnastics, but believe it or not, he can handle the trampoline and vault quite well.
