In addition, Eggman had Metal Sonic become a main member of Team Eggman so he could drive the Formula M. After shutting Orbot up, Eggman decided to introduce an even better car: the Formula M. Frustrated, Eggman concluded the problem was his car, prompting Orbot to throw a sarcastic remark at him. Later, in spite of Team Eggman's prowess and tech, the team found themselves on a losing streak in the Grand Prix's competition. While the heroes cleared out the Eggpawns, Eggman confirmed that this was not the end, as he could built Eggpawns faster than they could destroy them. Deciding to step up his game, Eggman sent hundreds of Eggpawns after the racers on the race tracks. While Eggman replied that he did not keep scores, Orbot tried giving the correct number over the radio until Eggman silenced him.

Later, after Team Eggman lost a race, Sonic asked Eggman how many times he had been defeated by now. After hearing about this engine, Eggman plotted to steal it.

This engine, which Donpa Motors was currently developing, was going to be the fastest and most powerful engine in the universe. During their conversation, the Ultimate Energy Engine was brought up. Д«etween Team Eggman's races, Eggman would discuss science with Dodon Pa. Still, Eggman moped that would have won if he had his team, to which Dodon Pa replied that he looked forward to seeing him compete with a team since Eggman's passion against overwhelming odds was inspiring. Although Eggman lost, Dodon Pa was so occupied by his performance that he did not see whether Sonic or Shadow won the race, much to Eggman's joy. However, after Sonic and Shadow took the lead, Eggman was surrounded by the Grand Prix's other racers, who took him out with a combined Wisp assault. As he found himself at a disadvantage, Eggman took Dodon Pa's advice and began using Wisps against the other racers to gain the lead. Although Dodon Pa knew otherwise, he permitted this. He also bragged that his team was unstoppable, prompting Sonic to counter with a taunt.Д®ggman eventually competed against Team Sonic and Team Dark alone by intruding on a race between the two teams, lying that he was there as a special guest. Upon Team Eggman's arrival, Tails accused Eggman of being behind the Grand Prix, but Eggman insisted that he was only here to compete. Assembling his own racing team that consisted of himself and several Eggpawns, Eggman and his team joined Dodon Pa's Grand Prix at the same time as Team Dark. Eggman plotted to throw a wrench into the plans of Team Sonic, Team Rose and Team Vector, who were competing in Dodon Pa's mysterious Grand Prix.
