Story

 * See: Death Egg mk.II Zone

Final Boss of Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II. The Death Egg casts a shadow throughout the entire story of Sonic the Hedgehog 4. Though a similar space station appears as the final location of Episode I, the true Death Egg makes a comeback in the later half of Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II as the Death Egg mk.II. This new Death Egg appears as a mechanized version of Little Planet -- Literally, the entire station is built around it! While it retains many characteristics of its predecessor, the Death Egg mk.II is still under construction and still very much incomplete. It can be seen in the Act 3's night background of Sylvania Castle Zone as well as White Park Zone. The Death Egg mk.II is shown to have a fleet of smaller, mass-produced stations which resemble the E.G.G. Station Zone.

After beating Metal Sonic in Sky Fortress Zone, Eggman ditches his damaged airship and decides to retreat to his new space station with Metal Sonic while Sonic and Tails following them in an escape pod. Inside Death Egg mk.II Sonic once again races his doppleganger only this time with Tails by his side. The duo then confronts Robotnik in the heart of the Death Egg, facing his latest creation. Upon being defeated, the new Death Egg begins to suffer massive internal damage and can be seen shutting down in space. Luckily, Sonic and Tails manage to escape at the last moment crashing down to Earth in the doctor's escape pods.

Archie comics
Death Egg Mark 2 The Death Egg Mark 2 debuted in the Archie continuity nearly a year before the games. Though similar, the Archie version differs in size and shape, and was not constructed around the Little Planet.

In this incarnation it can manipulate time and space using a Chaos Emerald, and, like its comic predecessor, is equipped with a World Roboticizer.

The Death Egg Mark 2 is Doctor Eggman's main base and ultimate weapon, originally desguised as an egg-shaped bunker. When the station attacked the Freedom Fighters base, Sonic boarded it and fought against an upgraded Silver Sonic, and another rebuilt Metal Sonic. The Death Egg later retreats after sustaining damage, but not before launching Titan Metal Sonic and Tails Doll into New Mobotropolis. (StH: #224, #225, #230, #231)
