My Smash 6 Character Wishlist part 3

Dr. Eggman

One of the likely candidates from the Sonic series to make it into Smash (or so I thought).
Dr. Ivo Robotnik (or Dr. Eggman) has been a staple of the "Sonic the Hedgehog" franchise from the very beginning (Fun fact: Appearing alongside Sonic, Robotnik's true first appearance is "Puzzle Construction" for the "SEGA TeraDrive", which predates about a month before the release of "Sonic the Hedgehog" for the "SEGA Genesis" in North America in 1991).
And since then, he's become one of gaming's most iconic villains on par with the likes of Bowser, Ganondorf, Dr. Wily, Dr. Neo Cortex, M. Bison, even Sephiroth just to name a few. So iconic in fact that he even made an appearance in both Wreck-It Ralph and the sequel, alongside other well-known video game villains.

And Smash is no stranger to iconic villains in gaming. Throughout the series, the roster featured a plethora of villains going head to head with their respective foes like Bowser, Ganondorf, Mewtwo, Meta Knight, Wolf, King Dedede, Dark Pit, Bowser Jr. & the Koopalings, Ridley, King K. Rool, Dark Samus, and Sephiroth. Speaking of which, for being the first villain from a third-party franchise, Dr. Eggman was a much better choice than Sephiroth because Sonic was one of the very first third-party characters to ever debut in Smash back in "Brawl" (also one of the first to be considered for "Melee") and has been in every single entry since then (making Sonic having the most appearance in Smash than every third-party character to-date), so it would've made sense to give the Sonic another character (or at the very least an Echo Fighter). Final Fantasy however only have appeared twice since "Smash 4", and adding another character (let alone a new villain) from said franchise just doesn't make sense and very unfair to Sonic's legacy in Smash.

In Smash 6, Dr. Eggman would be a perfect fit to the roster. I would see him as a mech like character using his state of the arch Egg Walker from "Sonic Adventure 2" as a form of transportation, much like Bowser Jr. but with more arsenal and a more heavy fighter in comparison. He would have different gadgets from past games as specials and tilts, and maybe throw in some Badniks as projectiles or neutral specials. And for his final smash there's tons to choose from, Death Egg Robot, using the Space Colony ARK, Egg Dragoon, it's hard to choose from and then possibilities are Infinite. Maybe throw in Sage as a support to cheer him on? And let's not forget to add in "E.G.G..M.A.N. by Paul Shortino" as a new track to along with it to give it a more eggcellent Eggman flavor eggsperience eggstravaganza.
