Where did this advert run? It refers to the mega dive, so presumably Europe? But I grew up calling the bad guy Dr Robotnik, so why is he Eggman?
It could be super early material and they just straight translated the name as it is in Japan. He only got named Robotnik in western localizations. It’s still pretty common for ads made years ahead of a release to have bits of weirdness caused by changes in development.

Sonic hit such a different marketing angle than Mario, and I love both. But Sonic holds an extra special place in my childhood.
Nothing says 90’s marketing like “we ain’t got time for capital letters.”
They weren’t wrong
