"Defective Detectives" provides examples of:
- Big Damn Reunion: Cream has been separated from her mother Vanilla ever since she and the rest of the Sonic team were waroed to Earth by Eggman. And so, she expresses tears of joy when Sonic brings her mother to her, reuniting them at last.
- Go-Karting with Bowser: There's a scene where Sonic finds Eggman sitting on a cliff overlooking Station Square, and the two have a remarkably civil conversation until a familiar face approaches.
