* ObviousBeta: SEGA's contract with [=BioWare=] expired during development and they shifted their efforts to ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins''. As such, the game was released in a late beta stage, resulting in a bare-bones RPG with essentially no real sidequests. One of the most noticeable problems is the music and sound effects; most areas use placeholder MIDI-format music of very low quality, and pretty much all sound effects in battle are placeholder noises.

** Nearly every single enemy in the second half of the game can act as this due to either ridiculous defenses, regenerating health, poisoning you every chance they get, leeching off your health, or any combination of the previously mentioned.
** The Raptor Hawks. Although there's only six of them at the most, they have 120HP, do ~50 damage per hit, and can use "Evading" whenever they want. It's a ''good'' thing when they use their Special move, Feather Barrage, because it's easy to counter.

With the team ready to chase down the Marauders, Eggman stays behind, under the guise of ensuring a safe landing, only to instead build the Eggman Empire while his archenemy is away. CrazyPrepared and highly resilient, Eggman bounces from the brink of death to accomplish his dream of domination.
