"Oh, sure, like anything Eggman's built is 'peak' anything. You had all this time to prep, and you're on a stage? Why not a throne? Or are you changing your name to Heavy Comedian?

Mecha Sonic could at least turn 'super', and all it had was the Master Emerald. Afraid you're going to blow a royal fuse?" - ― Sonic taunting Heavy King (Sonic the Hedgehog 30th Anniversary Special)

- Say, have you had that stutter long?"
