** Princess Elise, while still not a combatant, is noticeably [[DefiantCaptive more defiant towards Dr. Robotnik, refusing to give him the secret to the Flames of Disaster]]. She also averts NeutralFemale, knowing to stay out of fights when her safety could hinder the heroes and instead actually goes to get help from the other Freedom Fighters. She only gets captured a total of three times instead of five like in the 2006 game due to some unforeseen circumstances on the heroes' side[[note]]She still gets kidnapped at the beginning of the Soleanna arc when Sonic's attention is taken away from her and Robotnik uses this opportunity to sneak up on her, gets kidnapped a second time due to Robotnik outwitting the heroes and forcing Elise to come with him lest her new friends get killed, and the third when she goes willingly in order to keep him from carrying out his threat of carpet bombing the city[[/note]].

* AdaptationalHeroism: [[spoiler: Sand-Blasters Tex the Lizard and Avery the Bear were originally straight-up antagonists like the rest of the group. Here, they're the white sheep of the team, only going along with Jack's plans out of fear for their safety and a desire to improve their lives.]]

** The Diablo Kid, [[spoiler:aka Jesse [=MacNeil=] suffered a TraumaCongaLine where after he's deroboticized, he returned home only to be attacked by his parents because Jack Rabbit taught them to believe that roboticization kills the person turned into a robot and those deroboticized are pretty much the dead possessed by demons. Jesse killed his parents in self-defense after he and his sister Jamie tried to get out of town, only for Jack Rabbit to kill her. This led Jesse to become an Egg Soldier whose only goal is to take vengeance on those he blames for his suffering. Sonic and the Freedom Fighters are horrified upon finding out what happened and acknowledge that they in part are responsible as they're actions motivated Jack Rabbit to form a [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized violent branch of Freedom Fighters]], but they still note that this doesn't excuse Jesse's crimes as an Egg Boss and note that his sister would never approve of his actions, something that gets through to Jesse. This trope gets {{reconstructed|Trope}} however, since while Jesse does have to pay for his crimes, the Freedom Fighters go out of their way to make sure that Jack Rabbit doesn't get off the hook for his crimes either, exposing him for the vile hate criminal he really is and turning the entire populace against him.]]

* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: In the Angel Island arc, Kat blames Sonic for the deaths of her family and hometown at Robotnik's hands because he just automatically assumed there were no other slaves on the Death Egg and [[FailedASpotCheck didn't bother to make sure]], shutting down any attempts at rationality and inadvertently fueling Knuckles' belief that Sonic is evil and Robotnik is good by not bothering to tell him the full details of her escape from the Death Egg. Only by venting her frustrations out, courtesy of Sonic allowing her to beat him to a bloody pulp, does Kat finally calm down and realize the truth; after the Chaos arc, she freely admits that what she did was wrong, and regardless of her being hurt, grieving, and not thinking straight, she had no excuse to treat Sonic that way.

* DoorStopper: At 201 chapters and 676,130 words, this is a long one.

** In chapter 5, Sonic tells Brutus [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles NO CAPES]].

** When the summit is compromised, Geoffrey St. John says [[VideoGame/AmongUs "There is an imposter among us"]].

* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Downplayed with Tex the Lizard. In the Archie comics, Tex was an unspecified, generic, spiny lizard. Here, he's identified as a horned lizard/horny toad.

* BlandNameProduct: Aside from the games focusing around the Marxio Bros., we have the more popular ''[[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Bookeymon]]''. The Freedom Fighters even assume Thunderbolt is a Rikachu. (The reason ''Bookeymon'' is more popular than ''Super Marxio Bros.'' is because the Marxio Bros. are known enemies of [[TheHero Sonic]].)

** There ''is'' something good that comes out of this: having witnessed the trauma Sonic was going through, [[AdaptationalIntelligence none of the Freedom Fighters]] [[NoSell fall for]] [[WebComic/SonicTheComicOnline Kane's smear campaign]] (not that Tails did in the Source material anyway).

** In chapter 55, [[spoiler:Knuckles gives one to Locke when he returns for abandoning him, treating Kat as an unwelcome pet and standing by doing nothing as Robotnik threatened to take over Mobius. Lara gives him one as well as an ArmorPiercingSlap.]]

* AdaptationalNameChange: A minor example; Professor Gerald and Maria are given the surname Kintobor rather than Robotnik.
