She is usually kept in the [[Mobius Home for Really Bizarre Mothers]], though she tends to escape from there from time to time.

  +
==Appearance==
She is kept in an asylum called the [[Mobius Home for Really Bizarre Mothers]], though she escapes from time to time. Her insanity is enough to scare even Robotnik himself.
 
 
[[File:Mama Robotnik.jpg|left|thumb|Momma Robotnik, with her son's mustache stuck on her face.]]

[[File:Mama Robotnik.jpg|left|thumb|Momma Robotnik from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, with her son's mustache stuck on her face.]]
 
  +
====Past====
Momma Robotnik has a very large figure, much like her son. She has black eyes with red/black pupils and blue/red irises and a pink nose like [[Doctor Ivo Robotnik (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|her son]] and wears a bulging pink dress, a large green hat and black shoes.
 
  +
Over twenty years ago, Momma Robotnik lived in a house in [[Chaos City]] with her son, [[Doctor Ivo Robotnik (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|Dr. Robotnik]], when the latter was just an infant. When the family moved, Momma Robotnik left her son's favorite toy, the [[Fuzzy Wuzzy]], in that house. Apparently, this act made Dr. Robotnik the villain he became today according to her, although it may not be accurate as she told the story to Tails in order to lure him into a trap.<ref name="AoStHEP9" /> At some point in the past, Momma Robotnik was taken to the [[Mobius Home for Really Bizarre Mothers]] due to her low level of care for her son.
   
  +
====Season one====
On the first episode she appeared on, she had a mustache just like her son's.<ref>''[[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' episode 9, "[[Momma Robotnik's Birthday]]"</ref> In her next appearance the mustache was gone, however towards the end of the episode, Sonic ripped Robotnik's mustache off and slapped it on Momma Robotnik.<ref>''[[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' episode 32, "[[Momma Robotnik Returns]]"</ref> From there on, her mustache would come and go. For example, she had no mustache in Episode 35, "[[The Last Resort (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|The Last Resort]]", but then in episode 40, "[[Zoobotnik]]", she had a mustache again.

[[File:Mama Robotnik escaped.png|thumb|left|210px|Momma Robotnik threatening her son during her birthday.]]

On her birthday, Momma Robotnik escaped from the [[Mobius Home for Really Bizarre Mothers]] and went to [[Doctor Ivo Robotnik (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|her son]]'s [[Doctor Robotnik's Fortress|fortress]], much for the latter's surprise. She wanted him to destroy the entire [[Mobius National Park]], although the project was halted due to [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'s interferences. Later, she decided to kidnap [[Miles "Tails" Prower (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|Tails]], Sonic's best friend, as use him as bait to catch Sonic. However, due to her own son, the plan did not work. She was then found by the staff of the Mobius Home for Really Bizarre Mothers and taken back to the home.<ref name="AoStHEP9" />
   
  +
Tired of being asked by her friends about when her son would defeat Sonic and conquer [[Mobius (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|Mobius]], Momma Robotnik escaped from the Mobius Home for Really Bizarre Mothers, took over her son's fortress and his creations (including a transmitter that controlled every machine on Mobius), and managed to adopt Sonic and Tails as her sons. Momma Robotnik then forced Sonic to do a large series of chores while threatening that, if he did not obey her, she would drop Tails into a bottomless pit. Meanwhile, she would use her son's transmitter to take over every machine on the planet. However, due to Dr. Robotnik and Sonic's interference, her intentions were revealed to the law, and she was taken back to the Mobius Home for Really Bizarre Mothers.<ref name="AoStHEP32">{{Cite episode|title= [[Momma Robotnik Returns]] |series= [[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]] |season= 1 |number= 32 |first1= Francis |last1= Moss |date= 4 October 1993}}</ref> Sometime later, Momma Robotnik would assist her son with his evil plan to trick Sonic into thinking he had retired".<ref name="AoStHEP35">{{Cite episode|title= [[The Last Resort (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|The Last Resort]] |series= [[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]] |season= 1 |number= 35 |first1= Jess |last1= Borgeson |date= 15 October 1993}}</ref>
==Abilities==
 
Momma Robotnik has proven to be a competent and dangerous enemy for Sonic, Tails and even her own son. Her physical strength is significant&ndash;on one occasion she was able to simply stampede through Robotnik's wall of defenses surrounding his fortress. In another incident, she engaged the alien huntress Katella in direct combat, and proved to be the only being aggressive enough to frighten the entity from the planet.
 
   
  +
Later, Momma Robotnik was invited by Sonic to Dr. Robotnik's marriage with [[Katella]], and went to the latter's ship, where the ceremony was being held. Angry that Katella did not invite her, she started a violent fight with her. Upset, Katella cancelled the marriage, dumped Dr. Robotnik, Momma Robotnik, [[Scratch]], and [[Grounder (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)|Grounder]] out of her ship, and flew away. When the doctor asked her of why she went to the ceremony, she told him that an unknown person told her that her son was being married and would ruin his life. When Robotnik told her the truth that Katella forced him to marry her, Momma Robotnik got angry because he told the truth since she had raised him to "always lie" and started to scold him.<ref name="AoStHEP50">{{Cite episode|title= [[Zoobotnik]] |series= [[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]] |season= 1 |number= 50 |first1= Rowby |last1= Goren |date= 8 October 1993}}</ref>
Momma Robotnik has demonstrated significant cunning and manipulative skill. Despite Scratch and Grounder's programmed loyalty to Robotnik, Momma Robotnik was able to quickly turn them against her son with only seconds of emotional manipulation. She was able to manipulate the Mobius local government's welfare department to grant her custody of Tails, allowing him to be used as a lure for Sonic. During Momma Robotnik's Birthday, she poised a trap that came extremely close to killing Sonic, and was only foiled through the direct sabotage of her son.

Sometime later, realizing that one of her friends' sons became president of his garden club, Momma Robotnik escaped from the Mobius Home for Really Bizarre Mothers and went to her son's fortress, forcing him to become elected as the president of Mobius. This also made Sonic run a campaign to become president of the planet as well. However, when Sonic managed to become president, the doctor realized that his mother voted for the hedgehog, as she thought that her son could not do anything right. Angry over this, Robotnik called the staff of the Mobius Home for Really Bizarre Mothers and had them take his mother back to the asylum again.<ref name="AoStHEP63">{{Cite episode|title= [[Sonic is Running]] |series= [[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]] |season= 1 |number= 63 |first1= Doug |last1= Molitor |date= 23 November 1993}}</ref>

Past

Over twenty years ago, Momma Robotnik lived in a house in Chaos City with her son, Dr. Robotnik, when the latter was just an infant. When the family moved, Momma Robotnik left her son's favorite toy, the Fuzzy Wuzzy, in that house. Apparently, this act made Dr. Robotnik the villain he became today according to her, although it may not be accurate as she told the story to Tails in order to lure him into a trap.[1] At some point in the past, Momma Robotnik was taken to the Mobius Home for Really Bizarre Mothers due to her low level of care for her son.

On her birthday, Momma Robotnik escaped from the Mobius Home for Really Bizarre Mothers and went to her son's fortress, much for the latter's surprise.

Later, she decided to kidnap Tails, Sonic's best friend, as use him as bait to catch Sonic. However, due to her own son, the plan did not work. She was then found by the staff of the Mobius Home for Really Bizarre Mothers and taken back to the home.[1]
