* ''VideoGame/SonicColors'' During a post-mission exchange in the Nintendo DS port of the game, Sonic responds as such after Shadow lets slip that his motivation behind giving Sonic a mission, having initially rationalized it as him wanting to see if Sonic had "gone soft," was to make sure that he and Tails wouldn't be endangering themselves by going forward—and then immediately trying to act indifferent upon having that fact pointed out.
-->'''Shadow:''' Heh, looks like I don't need to be too worried.\\
'''Sonic:''' What was that?\\
'''Tails:''' Were you worried if we’d get hurt trying to rescue the Wisps?\\
'''Shadow:''' Hmph!\\
'''Sonic:''' I’ll just take that as a compliment.
