It can be seen or no-seen if the monitor items are randomized. By braking Eggman monitor, makes the player lose shields / rings or life, which could affect strongly to the race.

Eggman monitors are seen in normal game in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and its add-on continuation Sonic & Knuckles. In these games, Eggman monitors are more rare, but are set on inconsistent places. The single Eggman monitor can be found underwater sections of Hydrocity Zone act 2 at left corner on top of spikes. Next two Eggman monitors can be found at caverns of Ice Cap Zone act 2, where monitors are normally frozen and the player should avoid to break them. Another three Eggman monitors are found at second act of Launch Base Zone, where two are set at the foot of tunnel and single one at the near right corner with Super Ring monitor, where the player pops out the water pipe.

Next Eggman monitor is found at Mushroom Hill Zone, which is right next of Super Ring monitor, which hides spring beneath it. Next two are found at second act of Lava Reef Zone, where these monitors are set at the foot of blocked, hidden entrance, where only Knuckles is able to access. The last one can be found at second act of Death Egg Zone, which is set near by of anti-gravity switch and right next to Super Ring monitor.

Trivia

 * One of the unused monitor items in the original Sonic The Hedgehog are Eggman monitors, which by hacking to the game, do nothing after braking it. The Eggman item icon is different comparing to ones in later games.
 * By combining Sonic the Hedgehog 3 &amp; Knuckles, three Eggman monitors in Launch Base Zone act 2 are replaced with Super Ring and Invisibility monitors.
 * Eggman monitor should not to be confused with extra lifes, that Doctor Eggman earn in the dark story of Sonic Adventure 2. These item box items have similarly Eggman's head showing on the icon.
