He does call himself a “master” to a bunch of Black people in literally the Mobius (inb4 “It’s not Mobius”) version of Africa

But water is wet, since it is covered in water

I keep seeing this guy referred to as Eggman but he was always called Dr. Robotnik in my games. What’s up with that?

Region differences. Japan called him Eggman. But the US called him Dr. Robotnik at first to sort of make him more intimidating I guess. Both regions sort of merged the names over time.

Sonic: “We’re on our way to the Space Colony ARK, so I guess that means we’re going too.”
(Shadow '05)

Or…

Sonic: “Look, ramps!”
Tails: “We can use those as ramps!”
(One of the Sonic Boom games)

I really need to do a Sonic marathon to see all these gems. I heard Sonic 06 is truly special, but Sonic Boom is up there.

Sonic '06 actually has some of the best story in the series. Shadow is at his peak, and Silver’s story is good too. It’s just Sonic’s story (especially with Elise) and the gameplay that ruins it. Mostly the gameplay. But even with the gameplay problems, the level design is pretty good, as you can see if you play the Project '06 fan remake.

It’s like they were prepared to make Shadow 2 but Shadow 1 didn’t realize that didn’t do so well so they pretended Sonic had anything to do with the story.

Oh yeah I heard of that. With the Shadow generations game coming, I kind of want to do the games he’s in. Whenever I have time, anyway.

“A race… A special race. There’ll be something happening. Gawd. Do you see this? This is the diamond that I’m going to give to my brand new husband, and/or wife. It’ll be theirs for the rest of time with the GameCube 2. So if you want–”

Fun fact about Eggman in Unleashed: there’s this line in Mazuri (the Africa stand-in) where he says “I should’ve known you’d still be alive” to Sonic after having fought him in the Tornado earlier, but this was apparently a continuity issue that was caused by them introducing the Tornado segment into the game (I think Unwiished doesn’t have it and thus the line makes sense?) But Eggman in that pre-boss cutscene before the Mazuri boss has no excuse for being perplexed; a competent player will take around 2 to 3 minutes to complete the level just before this.
