Silver Sonic

(Known as Mecha Sonic) Silver Sonic is the first boss of the Death Egg Zone in Marvel Storybook 2. This boss has to be hit eight times in order to be defeated so the player can proceed to the Death Egg Robot.

Appearance
Silver Sonic is a bulky but combat-capable with saw-blade quills, rocket boosters and a metallic spikeball-version of the Spin Attack.

Naming
This robot was not named in the English-language manuals accompanying Sonic the Hedgehog 2, but in the Japanese materials he was called "Mecha Sonic" (as were the other early Sonic robots).

Because of his similarity to Silver Sonic from the Master System and Game Gear versions of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Archie Comics used the name "Silver Sonic" for the version of the character in the Sonic Quest miniseries.[3] Many fans adopted this name for the game character, particularly to differentiate it from the radically different design of Mecha Sonic seen in Sonic & Knuckles.

"Mecha Sonic" was used as the official English-language name in the backstory for Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I, released in the Story section of the official English website.[4] This robot's concept art labeled it as "Meca Sonic".[5]

In a pre-release video of Sonic Generations, it is briefly called both "Silver Sonic" and "Mecha Sonic,"[6] by Aaron Webber, acknowledging the different names this robot has gone under in the fandom.

Trivia

 * A similar robot called Silver Sonic appeared as the boss of the Scrambled Egg Zone in the 8-bit version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, which was released earlier than the 16-bit game.


 * hile the Death Egg Zone does not have any Rings in the original game, the alternative easy mode of the game in Sonic Jam adds a set of Rings at the beginning point of the Zone, making the battle more tolerable. Also in the easy mode, the player only has to hit Mecha Sonic three times to defeat it.
 * A glitch may occur in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Mega Drive/Genesis) in which its defeat will glitch into a floating frozen flame, making the player stuck until time runs out.
 * Mecha Sonic appears as a mid-boss in the Sonic the Hedgehog Level Pack for LEGO Dimensions. In this game, it is referred to as "Robo Sonic" most likely to differentiate itself from the other Mecha Sonic.
