"E.G.G.M.A.N." is the theme of Dr. Eggman for Sonic Adventure 2. This song was written by Paul Shortino.

Legacy

A remix of the song, known as the "Doc. Robeatnix Mix", was produced by Lee Brotherton (credited as the Remix Factory) and included in a brief cutscene in the game Shadow the Hedgehog. It also plays briefly in Sega Superstars Tennis, when Eggman uses his Superstar Move.

An instrumental version can be unlocked in Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing. This theme can be heard several times in Sonic Generations. An instrumental version is also heard when Dr. Eggman unleashes his All-Star Move in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. The original version of the song is used in Phantasy Star Online 2 as the background music for the "Wild Easter" Emergency Quest, as well as being a collectable music disc for My Room/Team Room background music.

Lyrics

Who ooh, ooh, hoo hoo oh yeah!

[SCATTING]

N-oh!

The story begins with who's gonna win

Knowin' the danger that lies within

Aboard the ARK a genius at heart

Who wanted to unlock the mysteries of life

I am the Eggman, that's what I am

I am the Eggman, I got the master plan

I am the Eggman, that's what I am

I am the Eggman, with the master plan

I'm plotting my schemes wherever I go

They're perfect in every way

I'd love to destroy the blue one you know

He's an obstacle that always gets in my way

I must play this game by my rules

I will conquer the world with my tools

All my machines are made for destruction

I will build my empire

I will succeed and you will see

With my machines there is no retreat

I am the Eggman, that's what I am

I am the Eggman, I got the master plan

I am the Eggman, that's what I am

I am the Eggman, I got the master plan

[GUITAR BREAK]

I am the enemy, I will succeed

My mission, yeah, I must complete

My name is Eggman, don't forget my name!

If you ask me again, I'll tell you the same

I am the Eggman, that's what I am

I am the Eggman, I got the master plan

I am the Eggman, that's what I am

I am the Eggman, I got the master, master plan

I am the Eggman!

[SCATTING]

Connection to Character

• I'd love to destroy the blue one you know - Eggman's desire to destroy Sonic.
• Aboard the ARK, a genius at heart - Eggman's new base on the ARK and his IQ of 300.
• I am the Eggman, I got the master plan - Eggman is always coming up with an evil plan to conquer the world.
• He's an obstacle that always gets in my way - Sonic always foiling Eggman's plans.
• I will conquer the world with my tools - Eggman trying to conquer the world through the use of robots and devices.
• All my machines are made for destruction - His robots help him in his plans.
• I will build my empire - Eggman's ultimate dream to build Eggmanland.
• I am the enemy, I will succeed - Eggman's role of being the main enemy through most of the games.
• I must play this game by my rules - Eggman cheats and does whatever it takes to win.
• The story begins, with who's gonna win - Chronologically speaking, the story of Sonic Adventure 2 starts up with Eggman, and he technically succeeds in getting all the Chaos Emeralds for the Eclipse Cannon, at least. Otherwise, it could just be Eggman always believing he can win when history speaks otherwise.

Trivia

• In Sonic the Hedgehog #205 from the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series published by Archie Comics, Eggman references lines from this song with quotes such as "I'd love to destroy the blue one, you know."
  • Also, in Sonic Universe #39, Eggman sings a part of the song.
• Both "E.G.G.M.A.N." and "I am the Walrus" by The Beatles use the same line "I am the Eggman" in the chorus.
• The remix in Shadow the Hedgehog is called the "Doc Robeatnik mix". This is a pun on Eggman's last name "Robotnik".
• An instrumental version plays in LEGO Dimensions when speaking to Eggman in the Sonic the Hedgehog Adventure World, and can be played in other Adventure Worlds via the in-game jukebox.
