Robotnik is enjoying his new position of power over Mobius and how he can follow every Badnik's movement, referring to himself as a God. On this occasion, he is controlling a number of Badniks directly as they battle Knuckles the Echidna in the Rail Canyon Zone. Knuckles is merely creating a diversion so the G.U.N. troops can go after Robotnik's depot, but they are soon overwhelmed by more Badniks. Robotnik uses a hologram of himself to rub his victory in Knuckles' face and toys with turning him into a super-Badnik or simply executing him on the spot.
