'''Egg Pawns''' are a common variety of robots created by [[Dr. Eggman]] in the ''{{wp|Sonic the Hedgehog}}'' franchise, making their first appearance in ''[[sonicretro:Sonic Heroes|Sonic Heroes]]''. Egg Pawns frequently appear in the ''[[Mario & Sonic (series)|Mario & Sonic]]'' series, where they most commonly appear as obstacles in [[Dream Event]]s, but in later instalments Egg Pawns are also used as extra team members for [[Event]]s that require larger team sizes.

Egg Pawns first appear in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] in ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games''. In the [[Wii]] [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)|version]], Egg Pawns appear in [[Dream Race (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for Wii)|Dream Race]], where a pair of them appear as obstacles on the track moving at a slow speed. When the player collides with them, the Egg Pawns will explode and cause the character to be temporarily stunned lose speed, though the Egg Pawns will shortly respawn.  

In the [[Nintendo DS]] [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Nintendo DS)|version]], regular Egg Pawns appear as targets in [[Dream Shooting]], as well as a variety with a shield that take multiple shots to destroy. A giant Egg Pawn with a shield acts as a final boss for the event, which takes a large number of hits for the characters to defeat but awards a larger point score to the character that gets the last hit. Egg Pawns also appear as enemies for the player to hit in [[Shoot!]], and as a character to be sorted in [[Conveyor Belt (minigame)|Conveyor Belt]].

In ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'', Egg Pawns appear as basic obstacles in both the [[Dream Alpine (Individual)|Individual]] and [[Dream Alpine (Team)|Team]] versions of Dream Alpine and the [[Dream Snowboard Cross (Individual)|Individual]] and [[Dream Snowboard Cross (Team)|Team]] versions of Dream Snowboard Cross, where they cause the player to fall over and lose speed when hit. The Egg Pawns can be destroyed if they hit by a character under the effects of the [[Super Star]]. Egg Pawns also appear in the second segment of the Sonic World version of [[Dream Figure Skating]], where the characters jump from [[Spring (Sonic the Hedgehog)|Springs]] to defeat them during the routine.

In the Nintendo DS [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)|version]], Egg Pawns appear in [[Extreme Snowboarding]], serving the same purpose as in the Wii version.

In the Wii [[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)|version]] of ''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games'', Egg Pawns appear as an enemy in [[Dream Fencing (Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games)|Dream Fencing]], where they will periodically appear and run around the stage. Characters will lose some of their health if they are hit by the Egg Pawns, however they can be defeated by a single thrust. A [[Mii]] outfit based on an Egg Pawn can also be unlocked.
