A Dude, a Circle, and a Square (ft. Paddy_RL)

from The Hill Is Always Greener Hosted by Sonic F

It's no secret that we're big fans of everything Eggman on this show, but any great leader requires a loyal number two (or three, or four, or five) at his side, and we all know the doctor does his best work when he's got a couple of loyal(-ish) minions to play off of. So today we're joined by Paddy of the Sonic Shorts as we look back at the history of the good doctor's sidekicks and rank them to see which toady takes the top tier. From Badniks to backstabbers, cronies to confidants, doppelgängers to dumbbots to daughters, over 20 of Robotnik's right hands are run through the wringer as we settle on the S-tier stooges once and for all.
