*** Blackbeard was never shown to be evil in his short appearance, all he wanted to do was find an Emerald he had himself buried.
** ''Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog'' is no stranger to BlackComedy, so its likely that Blackbot being destroyed despite being a roboticized victim was a joke. If it makes you feel better, Blackbot appeared alive and well in the ''Sonic Sez'' segment of the episode.

** Isn't there an episode where somebody doesn't recognize Robotnik and he says something along the lines of "Well, I've conquered most of the known world," or am I just confused? If I'm right, it's probably just an inconsistency (because I know he ''does'' talk about Sonic preventing him from conquering Mobius in some episodes), but I like to look at the Robotnik in this series as a deluded supervillain who ''thinks'' he's conquered the world, but in actuality all his "subjects" are just too [[{{Toon}} loony and carefree]] to do anything about him. Read between the lines in some episodes and it really does seem like Robotnik might hold all the strings in Mobian government: in the episode "The Last Resort," it turns out [[spoiler:''the mayor of the city Sonic lives in'' is a robot secret agent working for Robotnik]]. Robotnik's just a crazy guy whose influence stretches farther than you'd think, and the ApatheticCitizens of Mobius just plain don't care enough to prosecute him for his terrorism. That's what makes all of Sonic's heroic acts so important.

* In "Hedgehog of the Hound Table", it was explained that holding the Chaos Emerald of Invincibility alone wouldn't activate its power--to use it one must be crowned king, as Robotnik discovered earlier. But when Tails holds the Emerald he uses its powers with no problems at all, despite not being the king.

* One thing that always bothered me about the Chaos Emerald arc: the fate of [[CaptainColorbeard Black-bot the Pirate]]. Not only is Blackbeard callously [[BalefulPolymorph roboticized]] by Robotnik, he's shredded to pieces and left unchanged by Sonic as he and Robotnik escape elsewhere into the timeline, [[AndIMustScream his human form never to be achieved again]]. Sure, he's a [[DesignatedVillain vile and nasty pirate]], but it seems like an awfully scary fate for a guy who was [[PunchClockVillain more or less set up by Robotnik to do what he did]]. The fact that Sonic didn't even try to changes Blackbot back really makes me question his character!

** Throughout the series, it’s established that the two of them have consciences, occasionally questioning Robotnik’s acts of evil. They’re just to afraid and too stupid to defy him because he’s their master, and they probably think that they might as well have a little fun with their villainous acts.

** Keep in mind that when this cartoon came out, the Sonic series didn't really have a "canon," which was done intentionally so writers could make up whatever they wanted, which is why Japan, America, and the UK wound up with incredibly different takes on the character and setting. Seriously, imagine you're a writer, you only have Sonic 1 and 2 (Genesis and Master System) to work with... how do you MAKE something out of this? In fact this is something one of the writers mentions in a bonus feature on the SonicSatAM DVD set by Shout Factory, that when he saw footage of the game he drew a complete blank for ideas. It was only seeing some initial concepts by Archie that things finally clicked for him. Sorry for getting long-winded, but it annoys me how video game based cartoons constantly have fans misinterpreting them as "ignoring the canon" when in actuality its usually that they were made before much of the canon ''even existed''.

** This is just a headcanon assumption, but... well, have you ever tried playing one of those old MS-DOS games that runs too fast on modern computers unless you deliberately slow the machine down? Yeah, the game is faster, and very often that makes them uncontrollable because your human reaction speeds just can't keep up with it. I imagine something like that is what Robotnik was going through... he had to have faster-than-split-second reactions just to stay alive.
** As for how Tails knew... well, he had met Dr. Robotnik before, or may have been in a position to find out this sort of thing on his own. The show does demonstrate he's pretty clever for a four-year-old. He also may have just been shooting and hoping for the best.

* It's implied many times in the show that this version of Robotnik is wealthy. How did that come about? Did he rob some banks off-screen? He doesn't strike me as a guy who would sell his robots and inventions to people. Did his mother marry some rich guy and took everything he owned after the divorce?
