G-merl is the secondary antagonist and final boss of Sonic Advance 3. He is a Gizoid created by Dr. Eggman from Emerl's data, making him a revised version of his predecessor. G-merl once aided the doctor in his attempts to stop Sonic and his friends from foiling one of his plans, but wound up betraying Eggman to cause mayhem. After his defeat, he was reprogrammed in the image of his predecessor.
Biography[]
As G-merl and Dr. Eggman escaped from their defeat at Altar Emerald, G-merl began short-circuiting. Then, without warning, presumably due to his battle damage and Emerl's data, G-merl struck Sonic, forcing the blue hedgehog to drop the seven Chaos Emeralds. G-merl then harnessed the seven Chaos Emeralds to transform into Ultimate G-merl. After his transformation, Ultimate G-merl first act was to betray Dr. Eggman, by grapping the doctor in his Egg Mobile and throwing him at Sonic. Ultimate G-merl then took off into space to cause more havoc elsewhere, but not before discarding the Chaos Emeralds.
After having made it into space, Ultimate G-merl was pursued and challenged to a battle by Super Sonic and Dr. Eggman, the two adversaries having put aside their personal vendettas to stop the rogue robot. Ultimate G-merl fought the unlikely duo, but defeated and reverted back to normal in a large explosion, before falling back down to Earth.
Days later, G-merl was found deactivated at the beach, and was reprogrammed by Tails into a friendly robot who currently lives with Cream and her mother Vanilla.

Trivia[]
- Despite the ending of Sonic Advance 3 suggesting he may reappear considering his redemption and him now living with Cream and her family, he hasn't appeared in any games since. This also makes him one of the several few major "modern" characters that appear only once despite them still being active by the end of their appearances and/or hints they may return in future games.
- Despite this, he still has been depicted in the Archie and IDW comics and has appeared in online artwork.
