** Mephiles' motives for his goal are incredibly vague aside from a ''very'' off-hand comment from Shadow, and Mephiles himself doesn't get a MotiveRant or any dialogue that reveals exactly ''why'' he wants to destroy all of reality. When Silver asks him why Iblis wants to destroy the world, he simply remarks "Why does that matter to you?" And even though his backstory of being [[spoiler:experimented on and abused by scientists]] is revealed, no real connection is ever made between that and his current goals.

* EnjoyTheStorySkipTheGame: Something of a mixed example. While the game's overall story is criticized the same way the gameplay is, Shadow and Silver's stories have their own cult followings. This is mainly because Sonic's part of the story more or less has him be something of a UselessProtagonist who does little except constantly rescue Elise, whereas Shadow and Silver are far more involved in the story surrounding Mephiles and Iblis.

Shadow's story in particular is often considered the best thanks to the increased focus on Mephiles (who is the actual thinking and [[EvilIsHammy theatrical]] villain compared to Iblis), Shadow and his allies spending their time with the most complete knowledge of the narrative trying to stop the EvilPlan without manipulation, and Shadow's character in general coming off as far more mature compared to Silver and tying into his development from ''VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog''.

* FourthWallMyopia: Silver the Hedgehog gets no end of grief from fans who see him as astronomically stupid for taking Mephiles the Dark's claim that Sonic must be killed to [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong save the future]]. It doesn't help that Mephiles is such a blatant case of ObviouslyEvil, being a LivingShadow with HellishPupils and a CreepyMonotone who is also named after {{Mephistopheles}}. However, this ignores the fact that the Sonic world has at least one case of DarkIsNotEvil in the form of Shadow the Hedgehog and that Silver only accepts Mephiles's lies because he is so desperate to permanently destroy the monster that has been terrorizing his timeline for so long. Silver also does eventually starts questioning Mephiles's words and eventually learns the truth after seeing Sonic's heroism and how people like Shadow and Amy come to his defense.
