'''Metal Sonic''' is an evil robotic version of [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] from the ''{{wp|Sonic the Hedgehog}}'' franchise, created by [[Dr. Eggman]]. As with [[Knuckles the Echidna]] and [[Shadow the Hedgehog]], he is one of Sonic's rivals, and despite being a robotic copy of the original, he believes that he is the one that deserves to be the real Sonic.

Metal Sonic has appeared in crossover games with the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]], the first of them being ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as a sticker. He later made a playable appearance in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]''.

 

While Metal Sonic was voiced in ''Sonic Heroes'' by {{wp|Ryan Drummond}}, Sonic's voice actor at the time of the game's release, in the ''Mario & Sonic'' series, he uses computer-generated sound effects instead.

Metal Sonic makes a cameo appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as a collectible [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Sticker]].

 

Metal Sonic appears as a [[List of trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS|trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]''.

 

Metal Sonic makes an appearance as a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|Spirit]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

 

Metal Sonic's first playable appearance is in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]''. He is a Speed type character and is naturally good in all racing events. His special skill is the Air Boost.

 

 

There is an added detail in the DS version of the game, in which Metal Sonic's eyes turn blue if the player wins an event, is in the lead, or is playing certain events. This appears to be a reference to ''[[sonicretro:Sonic R|Sonic R]]'', in which a similar effect happens to Metal Sonic when he is in the lead and/or wins.

 

 

In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|version]], Metal Sonic is included in the Tricksters group, meaning that he is only playable in certain [[Event]]s. In the Story Mode, Metal Sonic first appears when he accidentally breaks [[Waluigi]]'s binoculars, and after being defeated in an event by Waluigi, he runs away. He is encountered again alongside Dr. Eggman by [[Wario]] and Waluigi, who defeat them and destroy the [[Fog machine]] before tying to get some compensation. Metal Sonic also appears in the bonus episodes, where after losing a match to Dr. Eggman, a challenge with Waluigi is set up so that Dr. Eggman can work out the modifications he requires. Another match for Metal Sonic is then set up with Wario, who gives Dr. Eggman the [[Fog urn]] when Metal Sonic wins, which Metal Sonic brings back to the lab for him. Back at the lab, Metal Sonic watches Dr. Eggman unseal the urn and release [[Phantasmal Fog]], and prepares to challenge the [[Fog Imposter]] of Sonic that forms, though Dr. Eggman faces him instead. After Dr. Eggman defeats the Fog Imposter, Metal Sonic listens to the explanation he gives of how it was formed. A [[List of badges in Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|badge]] of Metal Sonic can also be obtained from the badge machine.

Metal Sonic reappears as a playable character in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020]]''. Unlike most characters, Metal does not wear an outfit appropriate for certain events.

|American English ''This robotic doppelgänger was created by Dr. Eggman as a means to stop Sonic from interfering with his plans, but Metal Sonic's advanced AI chip gave him a mind of his own. At one point he even stole Dr. Eggman's identity and took over his fleet! Naturally, it fell to Sonic to put things right again.''<br>
