Dr. Eggman Nega, referred to as Eggman Nega or Nega for short, is a recurring villain from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. He is a descendant of Dr. Eggman from the future, though he was initially presumed to be from another dimension. Silver and Blaze are his main nemeses, paralleling Sonic's negative relationship with Dr. Eggman. While he originally worked together with Dr. Eggman in the Sonic Rush series, he later became an enemy to Dr. Eggman in the Sonic Rivals series due to the latter's failures affecting his reputation in his time period. The two have a neutral and collaborative relationship in the Mario & Sonic series, though Eggman Nega still does not like Dr. Eggman.

Eggman Nega appears as a playable character in the Nintendo 3DS version of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, marking his first playable appearance in not only the Mario & Sonic series, but in any game whatsoever. Like Espio, he only participates in the Long Jump and Long Jump Plus events. He must be unlocked before he can be played as, being unlocked by defeating him in the Long Jump Plus event in the Road to Rio mode.

Eggman Nega is the only playable character in either version to lack a Mii costume.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020

Eggman Nega appears in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 as a playable character. He is exclusive to Karate. He wears a black and yellow karategi unlike the other characters with clothing changes who all wear white karategi.

Eggman Nega plays a larger role in the game's Story Mode unlike most of the guest characters. After Bowser Jr. steals the Tokyo '64 video game containing Mario, Sonic, Toad, Bowser, and Dr. Eggman trapped in it, he delivers the machine to Eggman Nega who starts to make his analysis. Luigi and Tails do not agree with this, but eventually give in since there is no other option. In the meantime, Eggman Nega also uses some tricks in order to guarantee that Bowser and Dr. Eggman win the medals (the source to get out the game) by adding the "DLC" item Miracle Roll, a sushi which can increase their strength if they eat them. Eventually, after he and Bowser Jr. start cooperating with Luigi and Tails, he creates the Excitement Battery with Magikoopa's help to allow the Tokyo '64 to have infinite power.
