Heavy Magician (Sonic Mania)

Originally an Eggrobo (The Eggrobos are fully egg-shaped humanoid Badniks, based on Dr. Eggman's appearance before the Chaos incident. As such, their middle torso is red with yellow downward-pointing triangles on the front while their lower torso is black with two silver buttons on the front. Their gray head area is clean with two small red eyes and a flat jaw fastened by yellow bolts. On their back they have two yellow and gray rockets for flight. They also have thin robotic arms and legs with round shoulders, white gloves and black shoes with white straps.) the Heavy Magician received a makeover when she stumbled upon the Phantom Ruby. Decorated as a magician, the Heavy Magician's design reflects that of a yellow-colored jacket with a standard black and white tuxedo underneath her chest. She also possesses a yellow top hat with a red band, a red bowtie, red eyes, gray appendages, and a black lower torso. Her forefront is yellow. She also possesses a pair of "bumpers" (round and red with a blue inner area and a bright-colored five-pointed star in the center.) on her belt line.

The Heavy Magician was originally an elite Eggrobo who handled the most extreme tasks for her creator, Dr. Eggman. After detecting a mysterious energy source on Angel Island, Eggman sent the Heavy Magician and the other Hard Boiled Heavies to investigate. Upon reaching Angel Island, she and her troop excavated the energy source, the Phantom Ruby, just as Sonic the Hedgehog and Miles "Tails" Prower arrived. The Phantom Ruby promptly warped space-time around them, transforming the Heavy Magician into her magician attire along with her troop. As a side effect of the ruby, the Heavy Magician and her team gained free wills and personalities of their own, though they were driven mad in the process.

The Phantom Ruby transported the Hard Boiled Heavies, along with Sonic, Tails, and a nearby Knuckles the Echidna, to the Green Hill Zone, where the troop fled with the gemstone. After that, the Hard Boiled Heavies planned to keep the Phantom Ruby for themselves. The Heavy Magician and her troop soon met Eggman again though, who tried to command the group. When they would not listen though, Eggman snatched the Phantom Ruby from their clutches. The Heavy Magician and her troop then fled the scene.

The Heavy Magician was the third Hard Boiled Heavy that faced Sonic and co. First, she ambushed the trio in Mirage Saloon Zone, during which she pushed Knuckles off of the Tornado they currently flew in. Later on, she created an Uber Caterkiller for the heroes to subdue. When the trio finally cornered her, the Heavy Magician fought back using illusions of Fang the Sniper, Bean the Dynamite, and Bark the Polar Bear, but was still defeated and forced to retreat.

The Heavy Magician, now modified into the Phantom Magician, would later reappear to fight Sonic and co. again during their fight with the Phantom Egg, but was unable to beat them.

In Sonic Mania Plus, after the battle in the Titanic Monarch Zone, the Phantom Magician reverted back to her original form. However, she was the only one of the Hard Boiled Heavies who survived their last battle, the others having reduced to scrap lying around on Angel Island.

The Heavy Magician giving the Phantom Ruby to the remains of the Hard Boiled Heavies. When Sonic resurfaced with the Phantom Ruby, the Heavy Magician disguised herself as Mighty/Ray and pretended to have been encapsulated in a capsule with another one of Sonic's old friends. When Sonic freed them from the capsule, the Heavy Magician dropped her disguise and stole the Phantom Ruby. She then took the ruby to her teammates' remains and gave it to the Phantom King, who used it to revive himself and the rest of the Hard Boiled Heavies, just as Sonic and his companion caught up to them. The group's resurrection also triggered a warp that sent them all to Green Hill Zone. There, the Heavy Magician and the Hard Boiled Heavies fled with the Phantom Ruby in hand. When they regrouped, the group thought they could keep the Phantom Ruby to themselves. However, Eggman showed up again and took the ruby when they would not obey him, leaving the Heavy Magician and her troop to flee the scene.

When Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Mighty, and Ray got to the end of the Mirage Saloon Zone, the Heavy Magician fought the group using illusions of Fang the Sniper, Bean the Dynamite, and Bark the Polar Bear, but was still defeated and forced to retreat. When the heroic group later fought the Phantom Egg, the Heavy Magician, now re-upgraded into the Phantom Magician once more, fought Sonic and co. when her turn came, but was unable to defeat the heroes.

The Heavy Magician is said to have gotten a couple of screws loose after receiving newfound power from the Phantom Ruby. In addition to her already insane behavior, she commands tricks and illusions that add to her nature as a mystic performer. Like the other Hard Boiled Heavies, she wishes to do harm to Sonic and his friends whether it be by orders from Eggman or by her own chaotic nature. Despite her insanity, however, she is also shown to be loyal to her Hard Boiled Heavy compatriots, as she retrieved their scrapped remains and also used the Phantom Ruby specifically to revive them. But she can be very joyful and mischievous and quirky, but intimating and menacing when she's serious or angry.

The Heavy Magician, as her name implies, is a master of magic and illusions. Using her shapeshifting hat, she has the ability to transform herself into any individual. She can also copy the powers and weapons of whoever she is currently impersonating, such as copying Bark's super strength or creating a copy of Fang's popgun. However, a well-aimed hit can dispel her illusions. She also has the ability to conjure up any Badnik from her hat, like a magician can do with a rabbit. She is also able to fly, and can teleport by disappearing into her hat.
