Mister Eggman is episode 35 of Season 2 of Sonic Boom, the CGI comedy series made by Technicolor Animation Productions with Sega of America. It premiered in the United States on 8 July 2017 on Boomerang.
Synopsis
Shopping at the DangerCo Deadly Equipment Warehouse requires a doctorate in Evil Science, and Eggman’s transcript reveals a scandal: he is two credits short. Staci overhears, and the gossip spreads through the village in a full musical number. By the time Eggman reaches Meh Burger he’s a laughing stock, “Mister Eggman” to everyone, Sonic included.
So he goes back to school, enrolling with Professor Kingsford, a notorious tutor who always picks one student to torment all semester. Oversleeping on day one makes Eggman that student. While Team Sonic, bored without a villain, fills the time with a montage of its own, Eggman flunks assignments, joins a study group with the Lightning Bolt Society and bungles a lab-day theft, which gets his whole class failed.
Needing an A in the final, he raids Kingsford’s desk by night for the answer sheet. They’re fakes planted by Kingsford, and every one is wrong, but in a class on evil, stealing the answers was the real test, and Eggman is the only one who passed. Dr. Eggman graduates to zero applause, and Sonic looks forward to some proper action next week.
Trivia
- Amy’s line about filling the time “during Eggman’s failure montage”, followed by an actual montage, is one of the show’s fourth-wall jokes.

- French title: Monsieur Eggman. The episode aired in France on 3 September 2017.
