| | Scrambled Egg's version of the robot is the same size as Sonic, mimics all of his abilities, although strangely Mecha Sonic has a [[spin dash]] attack, yet Sonic lacks the Spin Dash in this game. When Sonic and Mecha Sonic's [[spin attack]]s collide, both characters bounce off each other, unlike the 16-bit iterations where Sonic takes a hit. This makes for a fast and hectic, if easier, battle. Mecha Sonic is also equipped with jet boots that enable him to hover, and a sharp scissors-type tentacle, which sometimes protrudes from its torso when standing still. The robot takes 8 hits to kill. | | Scrambled Egg's version of the robot is the same size as Sonic, mimics all of his abilities, although strangely Mecha Sonic has a [[spin dash]] attack, yet Sonic lacks the Spin Dash in this game.
