Editing Doctor Eggman (section)

==Weaknesses==
Despite his amazing intellect, Eggman's impatience and arrogance tend to make him act hastily and overlook crucial details when he tries to concentrate on a greater goal. Such was the case during the [[Dark Gaia]] [[Sonic Unleashed|incident]] when he awoke Dark Gaia too early in order to harvest his power for the construction of [[Eggmanland]] without even considering the repercussions of awakening Dark Gaia before he had reached full maturity.<ref name="ImmatureDarkGaia" /> His childish behavior can be considered a weak spot of his as well.<ref name="JamProfile" /> He also tends to let his guard down too easily causing Sonic to attack the weak spots in his mechs.<ref name="Scholastic" /> In the classic era, unlike now, he was a bit of a weakling and was alot more clumsy and cowardly than he is today.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDYbwdEn7rs</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6NJ-jRcPdg</ref>{{Better source needed}}

Far from being subtle, Eggman's overconfidence sometimes makes him boast a lot, making him accidentally reveal details about his plans and give hints to his enemies as to how to defeat him, all of this without him even realizing what he is saying.<ref name="LabyrinthJPManual">''[[Sonic Labyrinth]]'' ([[Sega Game Gear]]) Japanese instruction booklet, pgs. 4-7.</ref><ref>[[Sonic Team]] (September 9, 1999).
