This is for a Vs Bio so don't get mad!
- Dr. Eggman relentlessly chases Princess Elise throughout Sonic's story, and Sonic makes it his mission to protect her from him. After losing Elise three times to Dr. Eggman, Sonic once again reunites with her, and they manage to lose Dr. Eggman's robots through Tropical Jungle.
You'd Expect: Sonic would keep a tighter leash on Elise this time, considering everything that's happened so far.
Instead: Sonic decides to dump Elise at her castle without any protection whatsoever, and he is nowhere to be found while Dr. Eggman threatens Elise with the destruction of the town. At least the first three times that Elise was recaptured were out of Sonic's control. Here, he willingly leaves her alone.
Even Better: Amy manages to break Elise out of Dr. Eggman's base in Silver's story...only to also leave the princess alone in her castle.
Result: Dr. Eggman easily recaptures the princess both times, unsurprisingly.
- Silver attempts to kill Sonic after Sonic and Elise manage to escape Dusty Desert. Later, after Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles were transported into the future by Dr. Eggman, they overhear Silver's, Blaze's, and Mephiles's plan to kill a "blue hedgehog." They also note that Mephiles has a striking resemblance to Shadow.
You'd Expect: Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles would try to warn Shadow about Mephiles, who seems to want Sonic dead for some reason.
Or At Least: Team Sonic would discuss among themselves the murder plan they've just overheard and try to find ways to deal with it.
You'd Also Expect: Elise would mention to Sonic (or Silver, for that matter) that she has seen Silver before from the Solaris Incident ten years ago (which shouldn't have been possible, but still).
Instead: Everyone keeps their mouths shut about the entire murder plan. No one ever talks about it, despite its being brought up a total of three times in Sonic's story. The topic is forgotten as quickly as it is brought up.
- Early on, we get a cutscene in which Sonic and Tails find out that Eggman is controlling the Deadly Six with a magic conch shell called the Cacophonic Conch.
You'd Expect: Sonic to listen to Tails while he figures out what the Conch is.
Instead: Sonic runs up to Eggman and kicks the Conch away. The Deadly Six rebel against Eggman, forcing him into working with Sonic. - Robitnik's Casino Night Zone in "High Stakes Sonic". While fighting Scratch and Grounder, they pass by a nursery in the casino. While the nursery has a babysitter, there are no kids to be found.
You'd Expect: Both of them to remember that the Casino is owned by Robotnik and to think twice about a possible ruse.
Instead: Sonic instructs Tails to hang out in the nursery while he fights Scratch and Grounder, thinking it will be safe. Tails discovers that the babysitter works for Robotnik too little too late. She sends Tails down a trap door in the ball pit and Robotnik captures him.
- There's also "Tails' New Home" where Sonic decides to have a family adopt Tails. They pass by a billboard with a missing child message and a picture of Tails as a baby on it. Scratch speaks through the billboard, saying whoever finds Tails can bring him to his parents at an address. The billboard uses another picture of the parents in obvious disguise.
You'd Expect: Sonic and Tails to be suspicious about all this.
Instead: Tails is excited about the thought of meeting these "parents" and coaxes Sonic to take him there. Sonic meanwhile is reluctant, not out of doubt but more upset at the thought of leaving Tails behind.
You'd Expect: When they get there for Sonic to study the mannerisms of these "parents" and confirm they're imposters. Sonic should also remember that Tails' real parents would call him his birth name, Miles, and not the nickname Sonic gave him.
Instead: Sonic raises no fuss when the couple doesn't refer to Tails as Miles. It takes a flashback of Sonic giving Tails his nickname on the day they met to realize that Tails has been kidnapped.
