Fake Mustache

I’m pretty sure that an unused voice line for Omochao in Sonic Adventure 2 claimed that Eggman’s mustache is fake. 2601:646:C980:4C20:4449:DE84:2C60:EB4A (talk) 06:52, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's not "Doctor", it's "Dr.". It's not "Eggman", it's "Robotnik". The name of this page should be "Dr. Robotnik".

that is all — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skcin7 (talk • contribs) 19:30, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article disagrees with you. Chaheel Riens (talk) 20:55, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Eggs aside, this person has a point. I never really understood why Wikipedia writes out "Doctor" when nearly everyone else including SEGA uses "Dr." instead. Would anyone mind explaining why that is? I assume it must be some Wiki rule, but it always confused me... Idol Queen Kai (talk) 22:06, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comic Terminology

Terms like Overlander, Kintobor that doesn't apply to the videogames nor other media only should be kept inside the Comic section. 2001:8A0:65B6:D800:98:FCF1:DFFC:6908 (talk) 08:42, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes this is pretty silly, Gerald Robotnik even says the word "HUMAN" multiple times in SA2's big endgame speech. Idol Queen Kai (talk) 21:23, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Frontiers mech battle?

In the Appearances section, for the Sonic Frontiers game, it says (emphasis mine):

In Sonic Frontiers, Eggman has resurfaced, engaging Amy Rose in a battle mech, with Sonic and Tails arriving to help her out. After destroying the mech and driving Eggman off, the trio realize it was to keep them distracted to his true goal, having learned of a mysterious new archipelago known as Starfall Islands, home to immensely advanced technologies created by the Ancients, the ancestors to the Mobians who settled on Mobius in distant past and the creators of the Chaos Emeralds. [...]

I've just finished the game and unless I'm mistaken, that scene is nowhere to be found in either the game or the trailers. In fact, the game starts with Dr. Eggman getting sucked into Cyber Space, and the team already on their way to the Starfall Islands.

So where is this scene from, then? Is there some additional promo material I've missed that showcases this? Linkyu (talk) 15:07, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Found the source! It's from the prologue comic that was posted on the official sonic twitter: https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/1582370960354660352 and https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/1584911709021798401 Linkyu (talk) 09:20, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article needs to be rewritten

Hi. I would like to leave this message to remind everyone that the article needs to be rewritten. The article has unreliable sources such as social media like Twitter, (Now X) and YouTube videos. I believe the article also contains some RefBomb and Some Other Unreliable sources. I hope the article will get rewritten. Thank You. 50.100.46.100 (talk) 03:17, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. There's also a lot of POV issues and a bunch of sections that are really unnecessary. I fixed what I could, but there's just so much wrong. A complete rewrite would make sense. A. Astronomy ꩜ 17:41, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Eggman's been on my to-do list for a while. Admittedly not sure I have time to rewrite this article at present but I will just say it hasn't gone unnoticed and I'll try to get on it when I can. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 21:41, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
