Eggman Nega

Eggman Nega, also referred to as Nega for short, is a recurring villain from the  franchise. He is a descendant of Dr. Eggman from the future, though he was initially presumed to be from another dimension. Silver the Hedgehog and Blaze the Cat are his main nemeses, paralleling Sonic the Hedgehog and Miles "Tails" Prower'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 Eggman in the Sonic Rivals series. The two have a neutral and collaborative relationship in the Mario & Sonic series, though Eggman Nega still does not like Dr. Eggman.

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 karate gi unlike the other characters with clothing changes who all wear white karate gis.

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, Bowser, and 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 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 a Magikoopa's help to allow the Tokyo '64 to have infinite power.
