'''Dr. Ivo Robotnik''', better known as '''Dr. Eggman''', is the primary antagonist in the {{wp|Sonic the Hedgehog|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' franchise}} and the arch-nemesis of [[Sonic]], much in the same manner as [[Bowser]]'s conflict with [[Mario]]. However, in a similar vein to the aforementioned characters of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], he has occasionally teamed up with Sonic to face greater threats in their homeworld and has friendly sports competitions with him in the [[Mario & Sonic (series)|''Mario & Sonic'' series]]. He is a genius with an IQ of 300, and his goal is to dominate the world and build the Eggman Empire.

Dr. Eggman reappears in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020]]'' as a playable character. Like many other ''Super Mario'' and ''Sonic'' characters in the game, Dr. Eggman wears outfits that are event-appropriate. In addition to being playable in the Tokyo 2020 events, he is among the eight playable characters in the Tokyo 1964 events, using his appearance from the 1991 game ''[[sonicretro:Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]''. He also has a prominent role in the Story Mode, where he is trapped in the [[Tokyo '64]] game system.

An expert in his field, Dr. Eggman places robotics over all else in life--a reflection of his selfish personality. He doesn't know when to quit and always comes back for more no matter how many times he is defeated by Sonic.''

|''Dr. Eggman knows a great deal about robots, which is neat. He also knows how to turn animals INTO robots, which isn't so neat. You'd think a man with an IQ of 300 would stop going up against Sonic, but he keeps on trying, all to build a world around his Eggman Empire.''

|''Here is a man who immortalises animals in mechanical form because he just loves them so much! Wait. That's not quite right... Instead of using his talents for peaceful ventures, Dr. Eggman, a scientist with an IQ of 300, nurtures plans for Eggmanland to reach all four corners of the world. First poaching animals, now this? Terrible.''
