** Eggman is a bit of an oddball, it's possible he just stuck them there because he felt he needed to, "just in case". Or just because he could.

* Why does Amy never search for Gamma after the game, find his body, and bring what remains she can scrounge together to Tails to get him fixed? It's not like he would refuse. He fixes up [[SonicAdvance General]] and [[SonicHeroes]] Omega decades later in the IDW comics. All Amy would have to do is ask and Tails would be all like "Sure, Amy. I'll fix your robot friend for ya. I'll even make sure his new body doesn't need a Flicky or anything to operate."

** Given this game's development [[ChristmasRushed lasted less than 2 years, and had to be a launch title on Sega's newest console]] it's likely things got lost in the shuffle. Evidence to support the idea Knuckles' was planned to have a bigger role comes from the adaptation of ''Sonic Adventure'' in Season 2 of ''Anime/SonicX''. The Chaos Arc gives Knuckles a role that's on even footing with Sonic, most notably they both see Tikal's final vision together rather than it just being Sonic. Given that arc restores the DummiedOut dialogue between Sonic and Eggman before the Egg Viper boss, it can be assumed the staff at ''Sonic X'' got some behind-the-scenes notes and at one point of development, Knuckles was going to have a larger role.

*** Actually Tikal was all for sealing Chaos up again. It was Sonic that decided neutralizing his anger was a better option. Presumably Tikal showed Sonic the second vision to show him her plan of sealing him up by demonstrating how she stopped him last time. She certainly had no plan about Super Sonic as she wouldn't know of his existence or that he could get the emerald after Chaos had them all.

**** That's exactly is. This is more clear in the Sonic X adaptation of the game, where we see Chaos forcing himself into Froggy's mouth and possessing him, then making him swallow Big's emerald and run off. Big even points out that he's acting out of character.

** It might have been intentional. Since this game uses rashomon style, we never get to see the "real" version of that event. So it may be a hint that Robotnik really did say that, and Knuckles left it out of his version since he found it be really insulting.

** The station itself looks to have been built onto an existing bridge—that itself seems to lead off elsewhere—implying it was established semi-recently, likely for archeologists studying the newly-discovered ruins.

* Why did Knuckles get 3 visions from Tikal but all the others only got one? Come to think of it, Knuckles seems to be more connected to the story's events than anyone else. His story gets fancy FMVS at the start and end, his story starts at the very beginning of the whole plot with chaos being released, he fights chaos more than anyone else and actually defeats chaos 6, taking the emeralds back from him, he gets more visions which gives him a complete picture of what happened in the past, he's descended from the clan that started this whole thing and the reason why he guards the emerald is finally revealed. If it weren't for Sonic arbitrarily being the one chosen to fight perfect chaos, this could very well have been a knuckles game so why Knuckles given so much focus up until that point.

** Maybe Eggman planned on building extra bathrooms in case he needs to relieve himself?
** Not to mention that even robots possibly need to use the bathroom by leaking out waste oil...Possibly.
** As for Amy Rose using one of the toilets, well...Somebody in the Sonic community will have to create a specific mod for that.

* During the Egg Viper fight, why does Eggman keep opening the cockpit and inviting you to attack him? Ok, the first time he's probably just being passive-aggressive, as he says "See if you can make it through here, Sonic!", implying he [[GenreBlindness doesn't think you'll actually be able to.]] But why does he ''keep doing it after you've hit him multiple times?''

** With no Chaos Emeralds and a very limited set of inventions, it's possible that the Egg Carrier 2 was all he had left, and he was just desperately throwing everything he had left at Chaos. As for the line about the Egg Carrier 2 being his "contingency plan", it's possible that [[AwesomeEgo Eggman]] didn't want to admit he'd lost, and pretended to have contingency plans for everything.
