| abstract | - Dr. Eggman's Rocket Ship, also called Dr. Robotnik's Rocket Ship, is a highly-advanced aircraft created by the power-mad scientist Dr. Robotnik (also called "Dr. Eggman") for himself. It is a large, grey and red colored space shuttle with 4 wings each side and 5 rotors. It is seen at one time in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and is later at a few appearances in the comic book adaptations of the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is used once, when the Doctor escapes from the Wing Fortress to his space station, the Death Egg, after he failed to capture and get rid of Sonic the Hedgehog at the cockpit room of his battleship. While Sonic manages to miss the rocket ship, his best friend and sidekick Tails returns with a repaired Tornado (now with a rocket add-on set below) and Sonic and Tails start chasing Eggman through the sky. After a while, Sonic manages to grab the rocket ship's side and keeps hanging on there when the rocket ship starts to rise and come close to Earth's atmosphere and docks to the Death Egg. The game then progress to Death Egg Zone, the last zone of the game. The rocket ship is not seen since then and was possibly destroyed during the explosion of the Death Egg in the game's ending.
