Robotnik then twisted it into his own personal 'title'.
I prefer robotnik myself since i grew up with the older sonic games.

I dunno..Mario 64 Bowser had a pretty sweet theme...
it depends on what Bowser has.
If he has his flying clown machin with endless giant boulders in it and minions, then he could put up a fight, but robotnik is always in the air flying around so if Bowser is fighting from the ground then he really has no chance.
unless of course these are super smash brothers versions of Bowser in which case he can jump higher and is faster.
clarify the scenario.
Please stop calling him eggman.
Doctor Ivo Robotnic is the grandson of the scientist Professor Gerald Robotnik, and cousin of Maria Robotnik. He was an "evil" genius whose goal was to take over the world and create his own nation, EGGMANLAND.
his name is Robotnic, eggman is a nickname at best.
and for the record, eggman is not the japanese name for robotnic, the only reason people call him eggman besides the fact that his nation is called Eggmanland is because his real name "Ivo", is reverse of "Ovi", which means "eggs" in Latin. "Robotnik", his surname, is the generic Polish word for a worker. As such, it was used as a title by a number of leftist magazines throughout 19th and 20th centuries. Sega named him such because of simply connection to the word "robot" (as both words are derived from the common root - "robota", meaning "labor"😉.
Sorry, Cooples, but you're wrong. He's always been Doctor Eggman in the Japanese games. He was renamed "Doctor Robotnik" because at that time (and long before it) it was popular in America to give your villains Russian-sounding names, due to the Cold War. Even the good Doctor's robots were called "Badniks" to further reinforce the "evil Soviet" theme.
