'''Mecha Sonic'''<ref>Common name used in various ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' merchandise and as recently as ''Sonic Superstars'' DLC.</ref> is a crossover character from the ''{{wp|Sonic the Hedgehog}}'' franchise. He is a robot replica of [[Sonic]], similar to [[Metal Sonic]], but usually depicted as bulkier and with less personality, and is sometimes implied to be a series of similar robots rather than a single rebuilt model like Metal Sonic is. Each iteration of Mecha Sonic originally appeared as a late boss in both the [[sonicretro:Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (8-bit)|8-bit]] and [[sonicretro:Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (16-bit)|16-bit]] editions of ''Sonic The Hedgehog 2'' and then appeared as a major antagonist in ''[[sonicretro:Sonic & Knuckles|Sonic & Knuckles]]'' and a brief cameo alongside Metal Sonic in ''[[sonicretro:Sonic Adventure|Sonic Adventure]]'', with each of the four games using a different design; his sporadic later appearances are usually based off one of these, and are sometimes given model numbers to differentiate from each other.

The 16-bit ''Sonic The Hedgehog 2'' form of Mecha Sonic appears briefly in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise within the game ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020]]'' as a boss in the [[Tokyo Sky Flight]] minigame found in the Story Mode and the [[Game Room]]. His boss fight is similar to his one from the 16-bit ''Sonic The Hedgehog 2'', where his sprite is borrowed from, which has Mecha Sonic spinning around in a ball form, then shooting out spikes. As a ball, he homes in on the player, and when he lands, he stands on either the street level or the building as a platform. Both rolled and unrolled forms are vulnerable to shots.
