History Headscratchers / AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog

** Probably the same reason everything is so bizarre in this cartoon. The producers didn't seem to care about being faithful to the games' tone, characters or universe, so they likely just handed some animators and writers who never played Sonic games some concept art and a series bible and said "Have fun!"

* Why is Mobius so bizarre in this cartoon? It's pretty much Wonderland with Sonic and Tails in it. A talking, chilli dog obsessed hedgehog with super speed doesn't seem weird compare to the other things we see on the planet.

* In "Slowwwwww Going", how did Tails know that the reversed Slow-Mo gun would make Robotnik's Egg-O-Matic go out of control, instead of [[NiceJobBreakingItHero making him fast enough to catch Sonic]] instead?

* In "Tails' New Home", why are the robots sent to pose as Tails' parents designed to look like insect things? Why not just make them look like foxes so they don't have to put on costumes? Also, what was the point of having the robots dramatically unmask themselves? Why not have them keep manipulating Tails until he's in Robotnik's grasp?

** It's also likely because since he designed them to go after Sonic, he can't really be rid of them until they complete that task. Robotnik says as much in one episode where he angrily says he hopes that Scratch and Grounder catch Sonic as soon as possible, so he can finally dismantle and be done with them.

* How is it that Robotnik didn't get a full blown {{Villlain Song}} that ''didn't'' have {{Stylistic Suck}}? Seeing as how Long John Baldry was a professional singer.

** I wouldn't call the Mobians apathetic, exactly; they all seem to know Robotnik is a "bad guy" to be hated and feared, although they ''can'' be persuaded otherwise. You'll even hear the occasional comment about Robotnik's "reign of terror". It all comes down to a combination of general stupidity and naivete, very poor government (the "four leaders" seen in "Super Robotnik" are so incompetent it's pathetic), and that Robotnik and his minions [[NotSoHarmless really are capable of harming]] "ordinary" citizens.

** Scratch and Grounder are probably as good as it gets for Robotnik. Most of the other robots he sends against Sonic are either equally/even more incompetent and much more fragile (like the bounty hunters in the first episode), tend to undergo a HeelFaceTurn (Breezie and Robotnik Jr), or are nothing more than mindless automations.

* I get the distinct feeling that Robotnik and his {{mooks}} aren't so inept against people less superpowered than Sonic. Any mortal fool enough to stand up to him would likely be captured and imprisoned in short order.

* I know StatusQuoIsGod here, but there should be a real reason why Robotnik hasn't just scrapped Scratch and Grounder already, especially considering how often he threatens to and that he definitely seems to be aware they're only slowing him down. What's worse, Coconuts, their predecessor, is consistently shown as more competent than them, yet Robotnik always gives him the shaft in favor of two bozos he has to know will only fail him again. And is Robotnik really so lazy he can't take care of Sonic himself? He may not be the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree, but he's a lot more effective than Scratch and Grounder, and he has the technical know-how to make some legitimately dangerous stuff.

* Honestly, Robotnik doesn't seem like he's in a position of authority in this world. He's just some evil guy who lives on top of a spiraling mountain. Given that, it's weird nothing's ever been done about him for his various terrorist acts. Sonic's always there fighting him but the people of Mobius shouldn't be tolerating it either.
