Donpa Motors[1] is a group mentioned in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is an interplanetary company and the biggest automobile corporation in Sonic's universe. Its President is Dodon Pa, the king of a planet called Donpa Kingdom.[1]

History[]

Past[]

Under the leadership of Dodon Pa, who had devoted himself to the racing industry, Donpa Motors spent years working on developing new technologies for the purpose of bringing universal peace.[2]

Team Sonic Racing[]

In Team Sonic Racing, Donpa Motors was on the verge of a breakthrough with the development of a top secret project of theirs: the Ultimate Energy Engine. A machine powered by the inherent strength of teamwork, the Ultimate Energy Engine could revolutionize transportation, fuel new industries, and reduce pollution.[2][3] For it to be finished though, they needed information on large amounts of Ultimate Team Energy.[4] Wanting to produce the best possible engine with the aid of the bests, Dodon Pa invited the best racers he could find across space and time (namely Team Sonic, Team Rose, Team Vector, Team Dark and Team Eggman) to compete in a team-based Grand Prix of his instead of relying on Donpa Motors' staff and resources. However, he kept his motives hidden to perserve the project's secrecy.[3]

For the Grand Prix, Dodon Pa provided Teams Sonic, Rose, Vector and Dark with the most advanced cars Donpa Motors could create to race in and set them up as the main prize of the Grand Prix.[5][6] Team Eggman was the exception, as Dr. Eggman had designed his own team's cars. As the Grand Prix later progressed, Dodon Pa would send the information he gathered from the racers' teamwork to his research and development, who used it to work on the Ultimate Energy Engine.[4] Eventually though, the racers discovered that Dodon Pa was the President of Donpa Motors.

During the Grand Prix, Dodon Pa was kidnapped by Dr. Eggman, who forced him to complete the Ultimate Energy Engine with his aid. Upon the Ultimate Energy Engine's completion however, it was stolen by Dr. Eggman, who used it to power his Death Egg. While Sonic and his allies stopped Eggman and saved Dodon Pa, the Ultimate Energy Engine was destroyed. When the cars that Dodon Pa Motors had supplied to Sonic and his friends got destroyed as well when the Final Fortress crashed, Dodon Pa offered his savors new cars from Donpa Motors as his thanks to them for saving his life.

An advertisement for Donpa Motors, from Team Sonic Racing.

  • A billboard in a demo version of Team Sonic Racing advertised the Beat Monster as "From Donpa Motors", but the line was removed in the final version of the game, likely to keep the reveal of the company as a surprise.
