History Awesome / SonicTheHedgehog22022

** Knuckles makes an incredible first impression. Just the fact alone that he's able to catch Sonic's electrical Spin Dash – which destroyed ''highly-advanced government attack vehicles'', by the way – with just ''one hand''. This is the exact same move Sonic beat Robotnik with back in the original film, and Knuckles doesn't just shrug it off-- ''he takes it head-on'' before overwhelming Sonic with his sheer brute strength. Based on the fact he seems to have some kind of red counterpart to Sonic's own energy, it's implied that Knuckles is powerful enough that trying to out-fight him in a battle of force is a losing option.

* This movie's post-credits scene manages to top the now-iconic [[TheStinger Stinger]] to the first movie. As the government attempts to delete the last remaining records from Dr. Robotnik, Commander Walters is then informed by his agent that as they were removing Robotnik from their databases, they found a file dating back to over fifty years ago. This file contains coordinates to a well-hidden black site. As the dialogue between Commander Walters and the G.U.N. agent continues, we see one final cutscene: a pod rising from the ground containing... an all too familiar black and red hedgehog. Sonic is not the only hedgehog roaming this earth. Ladies and gentlemen, '''the UltimateLifeForm, ''[[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG]]'' IS HERE.'''

** We once again see Sonic and Knuckles fighting each other. This time, Sonic seems to have gotten stronger, as one of his attacks ends up cancelling out Knuckles' attack. Remember, the first trailer showed that Sonic was unable to scratch Knuckles with a Spin Dash.

* At the beginning of the dance battle in Siberia, Sonic and Tails are doing terribly. Then, the guy they are competing against challenges them to come get the map if they want it so badly, and Sonic notices an amp behind the crowd. He then realizes that rather than copying the dancer, he and Tails need to do what they are actually good at. They then proceed to turn the dance battle around by dancing to [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic "Uptown Funk"]], with Tails ensuring their victory as he brings in some hologram tech to make their dance even more spectacular. Even the people they initually insulted are genuinely impressed.

** On the side note, Knuckles directly gets in Tom and Maddie's way before they could go to Super Sonic and he's seemingly raising his both of his arms in a fighting stance while guarding the two of them. From the look of things, it almost looked like as if Knuckles, at that point, was actually going to put his life on the line to ''confront'' Super Sonic himself.

--->'''Robotnik:''' ''Oh,'' it's like ''that?'' Okay, we're not friends! (''falls over with his Death Egg Robot'') '''LATER, HAAAAAAAATER...!'''

(Stone's coffee shop transforms into a super-powered lab with the Robotnik insignia, much to Robotnik's delight)

'''Robotnik:''' ''Dis''loyal. \\

* After having spent the majority of his time in the movies without making any direct opposition to the heroes, Agent Stone has one notable role in the fight: downing Tails' plane by activating a feature in the robot that even ''Robotnik'' didn't know about.
* The fact that Robotnik was CrazyPrepared enough to add a secondary control system and backup power for the Death Egg Robot in spite of having the all-powerful Master Emerald empowering him as he created it. He even resumes his march of death on Sonic without a hitch as if losing the Master Emerald was just a minor inconvenience to him.

** On that note, the sheer power Super Sonic displays. He effortlessly tanks not one, but two rocket-powered haymakers from the mech without moving an inch, obliterating both of its arms with a single counter strike for each one, and proceeds to annihilate it by flying through it repeatedly at full speed before finishing it off [[CherryTapping with a slight tap of his foot]] -- similar to his introductory cutscene in ''[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Sonic '06]]''. There's also a lack of quips, sarcasm, or ''any words in general'' from the usually-talkative Sonic to Robotnik in the entire sequence (apart from the quote above) as he tears the Death Egg Robot apart; all he does is angrily or unamusedly glare at him, underlining the fact that he's ''done'' (and Robotnik throwing the aforementioned mech punches as he ''[[ISurrenderSuckers mock-surrendered]]'' only sealed it). He'd already gotten furious to the point of violence toward Robotnik when the latter had ''threatened'' to dispose of him and everyone associated with him earlier in the movie, but now that Robotnik had very nearly ''accomplished'' that, in addition to all the other times he'd tried? Even for someone as good-natured as Sonic, '''''[[GoodIsNotSoft enough is enough]]'''''. No sending Robotnik off to somewhere else ''this'' time -- Sonic's not allowing him the smallest possibility of coming back to harm him, his loved ones, or anyone else ''ever again'', as shown by the hedgehog standing back as his nemesis falls off the top of his tilting, destroyed mech. [[AssholeVictim And considering Robotnik's history of callous, selfish actions?]] He'd ''earned'' it.
** How does Robotnik take his ([[UncertainDoom apparent]]) DisneyVillainDeath? No fearful screaming or useless pinwheeling, no cursing the damn hedgehog who basically just killed him. No. [[FaceDeathWithDignity He just smirks, holds his arms out, and casually gives his foe a mocking farewell.]] Respect.
