And I Must Scream: Never outright confirmed, but strongly implied by the "Sonic Encyclo-speed-ia" to be his ultimate fate — "consumed" by the Phantom Ruby alongside the prototype Ruby. It largely depends on whether or not he's still alive and conscious in there. In the descriptions for Soniclash! and Tails' Fly & Get, it is stated that four Game Paks are needed to play them. In truth, they only need one Game Pak.

Evil Is Petty: His motivation for wanting to destroy the world and seek power? Because Shadow destroyed his squad, defeated him and called him weak. There's also a part of For the Evulz in that as well due to his sadism. The section mistakenly says " Players sit insidean arcade cabinet shaped like Sonic's patrol car". It is supposed to say " Players sit inside an arcade cabinet shaped like Sonic's patrol car".Jerkass: Exaggerated. Infinite spends nearly every second of his screentime behaving like a smug, sadistic bully that earns the ire of everyone from the Resistance, to the player, to even Eggman himself. Power Incontinence: Implied. After being defeated by Sonic and the Avatar, Infinite's body begins to glitch and warp like his virtual reality constructs, implying that they did so much damage to Infinite that his body couldn't contain or control the Phantom Ruby anymore. Episode Shadow reveals that he was this to Shadow. He was the captain of a mercenary squad and touted himself as the "Ultimate Mercenary" until he was dealt a crushing defeat at the hands of the Ultimate Life Form. The humiliation drove Infinite to seek power so he'll never be weak again. Factoid: Small information boxes that provide canonicity information, cut content, localisation differences and other minutia data for different aspects of their respective video games. Too Important to Walk: Highlighting his Smug Super nature, Infinite is never seen walking and prefers to just fly around as a demonstration of his power.

Metropolis Zone's boss is referred to as " Flying Eggman II", despite the fact that no mech before this existed under the name "Flying Eggman". Red Oni, Blue Oni: The blue to Eggman's red. Best shown in their reaction to Sonic and the Avatar escaping the Phantom Ruby's Null Space. While Eggman is naturally having a Freak Out, Infinite merely responds with an unamused scoff. Ironically, Eggman is more of a Crazy-Prepared No-Nonsense Nemesis (Blue), while Infinite is a Stupid Evil Sadist (Red). Despite both the "levels" and "boss appearances in Zones" portions of the Tails Adventure section listing the boss of Volcanic Tunnel as the Mecha Golem, and the boss of Cavern Island as the Mecha Golem (5-gou), their sprites are erroneously captioned with the other's name.

The entry states " Enthusiastic fans also found that Amy Rose was supposed to appear in a scrapped Sound Test mode in other leaked versions." In truth, the Sound Test and Amy's appearance were not scrapped, and can still be accessed and viewed in the final game via a cheat code in the color test. The Angel Island Zone's profile erroneously states that " A carpet-bombing by the Flying Battery sets the second act ablaze". In truth, Angel Island Zone is set ablaze in Act 1 by a battalion of Fire Breaths. Dragon-in-Chief: Subverted. Eggman probably couldn't have defeated Sonic and taken over most of the world without him. Though Infinite would be absolutely nothing more than a sellsword without Eggman giving him the power of the Phantom Ruby, so it really all evens out. Ultimately, in spite of Infinite's impudence towards Eggman heavily implying a betrayal, it is the doctor that ultimately dismisses him and takes the Phantom Ruby for himself after he fails too many times.

Infinite: This wasn't part of my agenda, but I'm always happy to crush a hero. It keeps the rabble in line. Shows them that there is no hope. Story-Breaker Power: Infinite is able to create " virtual reality constructs" that have the personalities and powers of the characters they are based on, so it's possible for him to create an army of giant Shadows, Chaoses and distorted versions of Perfect Chaos, Zavoks, and Metal Sonics. Infinite, pretending to be Omega: "Affirmative! I have never known d-d-d-defeat! I am not defeated. I am not weak, I am not weak, I AM NOT WEAK, I AM NOT WEAK... I AM NOT WEAK...!!!"

Success!

Madillo's sprite is incorrectly cropped, having loose pixels from another sprite on the right of said sprite. Living Shadow: He resembles one quite well, especially when his Battle Aura is activated, and bears some similarities to Blaze's concept art ◊. Infinite: For you, perhaps. He's beaten you for decades, but I defeated him in our first encounter. Items: An overview of the different noteworthy items that appear within their designated video game, Just Toying with Them: Infinite rarely actually fights seriously and enjoys toying with his enemies for his own amusement. This is a Fatal Flaw, as playing with his food rather than being pragmatic ultimately royally screws him and Eggman over.

Mr. Unknown from Mystic Cave Zone by RetroOwl on DeviantArt. DeviantArt. Archived from the original on 30 October 2015. Retrieved on 21 December 2021. Colony Drop: Eggman and Infinite's plan to destroy the Resistance? Use the Phantom Ruby to create a virtual reality construct of the Sun and drop it on them. General Failure: Infinite is Eggman's main enforcer and genuinely dangerous, but he's also an Axe-Crazy Sadist more fixated on relishing in his enemies' pain than actually doing his job effectively or pragmatically. Eggman's ultimate defeat in the game is entirely on Infinite for playing with his food too much.

He appears to have red sclera, but Episode Shadow reveals that it's just the red-tinted glass of the mask. His sclera is actually white.

[1] Synopsis [ ] Psychopathic Manchild: Pretty much the definition of the trope. His whole motivation basically boils down to him throwing a massive tantrum over being humiliated by Shadow. Reality Warper: Of a sort. Infinite can't control conventional reality per sé, but he possesses absolute control of reality for anything caught in the Phantom Ruby's field of effect, casting a world of illusion that becomes tangible reality for all afflicted. This can have varied results ranging anywhere from confusing the senses, losing sense of time, altering the terrain, or dropping a star from the sky. Mineral MacGuffin: He has some relation to the mysterious purple gemstone that is referred to as the "Phantom Ruby" by an in-game guide that everyone was after in Sonic Mania, implied by the sound it makes. The game reveals that the Ruby was given to him by Eggman. Ax-Crazy: He hides it well, but it's pretty clear that Infinite is quite unhinged underneath it all, as he relishes in causing death and destruction. In the final issue of the tie-in comic, when Infinite strikes the Phantom Ruby with his sword, he's shown what he desires most: a desolate, destroyed world, implying that he was crazy even before he gained the Ruby's power.
