* Sonic was asking Eggman who is friends are? He already met Zazz in Zone 2.
* We are all Zeti (sans Zavok) silhouetted until Sonic will fight them?

****This explanation has been replaced. In TailsTube, it's explained that anthropomorphic animals like Sonic live on smaller islands while humans live on bigger continents, which is an actual decent explanation.

** Eggman only taught them the "bunnies to badniks" transformation technique. It was probably just a surface installation in the first place like how that other design was; after all, those small pink pods on the exterior looked like tiny little batteries. And when it comes to cybernetics, you don't want the power supply exposed.

* Tails claims to have "made a TV out of paper clips, and reprogrammed a super computer with dish-washing detergent and a toothpick". Unless other elements were involved, that quote sounds ridiculous and the MacGyvering achievement impossible, even for a GadgeteerGenius like him.

Stating that parkour moves was a main feature in Lost World when the Sonic series had been done since very beginning.


** It was Confirmed in ''Sonic Runners'' that some of the Wisps are going back to their home planet(Planet Wisp), while some others are staying. Maybe because they love to harnass Sonic's Hyper-go-on power?

* I'm not sure if the 3DS version is canon, but I'll throw this out anyway. In the final boss in Lost World 3DS, enough hits free a Wisp. His mech is powered by Sonic's world's energy. How did they get there? Might the Wisps actually be part of the earth, supporting it, related to the Gaia? Furthermore, what else could the Wisps be a part of, and how long have they actually been on Sonic's world?

* It's been set back later since, but at one point, ''Sonic Lost World'' and ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'' were both set for a release date of October 6th, 2013 for North America. Who at SEGA decided this was a good idea (considering ''Pokémon X and Y'' had their release date set first)? Releasing your flagship title of the year on the same system as a main series Pokémon game introducing a new generation, and on the same day, is sales suicide. Did no one at SEGA realize it was going to compete with Pokémon? Did no one care? Is there just that little crossover between Pokémon players and Sonic players that no one was concerned?
** Don't worry - Sega cottoned on and postponed the release to the 29th.
*** Didn't X and Y come out October 12?
**** I highly doubt that developing teams even bother to look at the release dates of other games.



* Wouldn't it have made a better impact in the story (where Tails was kidnapped) by doing this differently: 1. Showing Tails strapped to the table, about to be roboticized. 2. Tails shows up later in robot form. 3. Tails fires at the Deadly Six. 4. Flashback shows him using the toothpick. But because we saw the toothpick scene at the same time as his being strapped down, it just... felt like it ruined the surprise at the end.
** I think the scene with the toothpick was supposed to imply that Tails was escaping, keeping the surprise intact.
** Or, to prepare those who wanted a boss fight against Tails to the fact that they [[SonicColors still]] wont have a boss fight against Tails, and let them enjoy the two-tailed fox's CrowningMomentOfAwesome instead of being disappointed.
