** Organics like the Koopa Bros. can use the Emeralds individually for specific special abilities, like the Bros. combination attack or the Sonic cast using Chaos Control, but transforming to become more powerful is something that can only be done with all seven except for specific instances (like Chaos who has a malleable form in the first place). On its own, a single special ability (or one per hero) isn't going to be enough to turn the tables, especially because Mecha can copy and counter them, if not use them himself. Meanwhile, Mecha as a machine is capable of harnessing an Emerald as an energy source for TimTaylorTechnology, and he just happens to be more versatile machine than the likes of the Eclipse Cannon or Breaker Beam. In the reboot if not the original series, Mecha/Metallix is partly made up of the ''original'' Mecha Sonic, who could gain a super form just by tapping some energy from the Master Emerald instead of needing all seven Chaos ones specifically.

* Sonic and friends has 4 Chaos Emeralds in their possession at one point. Why didn't they use those to get the power up they need to be able to defeat Mecha Sonic? Sure, they didn't have all 7 of them, but neither did the Koopa Bros or Mecha himself, and they were still able to power up with just a few of them.

*** Or even brainwashed. What's to say that Basilisx wasn't fed this information over and over again until he believed it to be the truth? False recollection is a well-documented phenomenon, and they've already been playing with his mind. In fact, this troper is banking on that being the key to Mario's escape at the start of Episode 9, though we'll see when it comes out.

* I'm probably the only one bothered by this, but why aren't any women fighting? Axem Pink was the only woman who faught, and all she did was one combo move on a shielded Luigi. That's excusable as Axem Pink used [[VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork Roll.EXE]]'s sprites, but come on!

* Thirty-seven more episodes to be produced? Really? I hope Alvin picks up the pace, then, because at his current rate of putting them out, we'll have all grown old before the series is finished.
** Last I heard, he needs to get voice clips for the Koopalings from VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii but I don't know if he's made any progress on that or what.
*** Somebody else had already mentioned this, but Alvin either needs to get some assistance or he needs to stop the series altogether, this troper understands that Alvin has a life and all that, but there's only a certain amount of waiting people can take.

** Blaze should still be alive, and she could fill the role of a female fighter as she is from the Sol Dimension (and thus safe from Mecha Sonic's rampage), but it's worth noting that she probably can't get involved due to the whole alternate dimension thing and just how dangerous it would be to take the chance that Mecha Sonic wouldn't wind up getting his hands on the Sol Emeralds. If that happened, things would go FromBadToWorse in an instant, and Game Over would soon follow.

*** This requires elaboration. See, the Mario Bros. use their allies in choreographed team attacks, with each other's full knowledge and consent (even if it doesn't always seem that way, and I know [[Main/AntiHero Shadow]] tends to commit friendly fire), usually in ways they know each other can handle, such as hammering Sonic when he's curled up but simply tossing him if he's not, or making use of Luigi's shell. Mario, Luigi, and presumably Yoshi know the limits of the Tanuki Suit's stone form, and Sonic can guess based on how the others use it. Basilisx and his stone gaze petrification, however, are completely new and Mario has no clue how it works. He doesn't know if he'll break Luigi or not, or even if Luigi's already dead, so he has to play it safe. It's not the same as the voluntary stone form of the suit.

** They could be "revived" via TimeTravel. In '06, the Chaos Emeralds are fully capable of enabling time travel as long as you have two Emeralds and two people to use Chaos Control together. That said, Sonic and Shadow can't afford to jump back with just two Emeralds due to how powerful Turbo Mecha Sonic is. They need to get all seven before they even try to ensure they have access to their Super forms, in case Mecha Sonic follows them or at least to deal with the Mecha Sonic of the past if they go to the wrong time period or can't prevent him from gaining his power. Depending on whether Silver exists, which is doubtful since he's from Mobius' future and Mecha Sonic destroyed the planet, they might not even know it's possible to use Chaos Control like that, and like another reply said, they couldn't possibly know the Emeralds can resurrect people or if it would even work considering when and how they died.

** Because this a Mario&Sonic crossover in a story based on DragonballZ, in other words there are simply no women involved in the plot that fight. All the females from Sonic are dead, the ones from Mario are Peach, who is in her DistressedDamsel role, Daisy and Toadette who don't have any business getting involved in the series, let alone the fights, and Rosalina, who...may appear later.

* This is a pretty minor complaint, but what's up with the title? Yes, I know that it's Mario, Sonic, and DragonballZ in a blender, but why don't they include Sonic in the title? The series is just as, if not more, has more elements in it! Not to mention that DragonBallZ's only influence is the fight scenes...

*** Actually, there ''was'' a female character in ''Z'' who fought - Android 18. While we can forgive the lack of an 18 at the moment on the grounds that her role in-story seems to be filled by Turbo Metal Sonic at the moment (assuming the "Robo Mario kills Metal Sonic" WMG is true), if at some point, Alvin was to adapt the Buu saga, he'd probably introduce a counterpart to 18 - which would be a good fit for Rosalina (possibly having her based on her ''Strikers'' appearance). Alternatively, some circumstances might result in the revival of Rogue the Bat, making her a CompositeCharacter of 18 and Bulma (assuming she still hooks up with Shadow).



*** If Metal Sonic was to go on a rampage, he'd ''definitely'' attract the attention of the SMBZ equivalent of the East Supreme Kai, who, if I'm not mistaken, was stated to be as strong as Perfect Cell at his strongest during the Buu Saga. Metal Sonic might be able to go toe-to-toe with him if he had all 7 emeralds, but as noted, he could've obtained ''2'' at that point without having to fight the heroes. Mecha Sonic is likely focused on getting the other 2 Emeralds right now (and considering that we don't see any reports of massive explosions in the area, it's possible that they might've landed in areas that aren't populated).

This troper wouldn't be surprised if angry and impatient fans of this series are pestering Alvin right now, it wouldn't be the first time.

*** You assume Sonic or Shadow are skilled enough engineers to build an advanced war machine like Omgea themselves with limited resources? They got lucky with the plans inside of the Death Egg to make the capsule. Even if they managed to pull it off, there's no guarantee that Omega's memory banks could be transferred to a new body.

**** Actually, that raises a question - why doesn't Shadow just bring Omega to E Gadd? E Gadd would probably repair Omega if Shadow asked (or if Mario asked as a favor to him).

*** This makes sense. Maybe Basilisx and Koopa DL-2-3 WERE friends, and Bowser made the latter a SacrificialLion to make sure the former would be the merciless minion he wanted. Hell, with this reveal, maybe Bowser inflicted the wounds himself and told Basilisx it was Mario.
