As a result, Sonic (who is ducked under the dark cloud) is able to take advantage of the situation by tying them together with a rope, and tricking them into thinking they're parked in a red zone. This causes Grounder to roll away and pull Scratch down, causing them to destroy the Darkenator and themselves in the

* In the "Iron Dominion" arc, Eggman has gone insane, growing increasingly distant and regressing farther back in his mental history each second, to the point where he completely forgets the events of the past couple of years, and believes things to be how they were, before the Great War happened.\\
'''You'd expect:''' If not kill him, than either the Freedom Fighters and the Iron Dominion would keep this delusion going; it would do neither of them any good to snap him out of it (as it means having to fight him again, and the Iron Dominion having to give up their claim to his empire), and the Freedom Fighters could use this mental regression to "re-educate" him into a possible good guy and ally.\\
'''Instead:''' They let him live and continue to refer to him by his current persona and even mock him with the events that drove him to madness, in the first place, which invariably breaks him out of his insanity and returns him to his old self.
* Similarly, the Freedom Fighters have had their asses handed to them twice by the Iron Dominion, both a result of [[DiabolusExMachina one of their cyborg allies getting controlled by the Iron Queen's]] {{Magitek}}. Both times, they only survive by using a Power Ring to break the spell. They also know the Iron Dominion is hell-bent on besieging New Mobotropolis - a [[{{Nanomachines}} nanite city]] in control of NICOLE, a [[VirtualGhost sentient computer program]].\\
'''You'd expect:''' The Freedom Fighters to realize a pattern to this, and equip not just their cybernetic allies but NICOLE as well with Power Rings, as a safety precaution against the Iron Queen's powers.\\
'''Instead:''' They do nothing, assuming everything will be fine with NICOLE. Predictably, she gets Magiteked, and the only solution they can think of to avoid the same thing happen to the people they've already encountered this with is to evacuate them at the last moment. Even more idiotic, when you consider that NICOLE's been hinted in-comic to be able to ''control the rate at which Power Rings emerge'', leaving no excuse for them ''not'' to have any Rings available for such a contingency.\\
'''Also:''' The Iron Queen should've clearly been able to tell she could manipulate NICOLE and the nanites in New Mobotropolis during her first successful breach into the city, as her Magitek was clearly shown affecting both in an adverse way -- even if she was too busy to ''see'' the effect her powers had, she surely should've ''sensed'' it through those same powers.\\
'''Instead:''' She completely ignored this and acted blithely ignorant about the mere prospect, requiring Snively to come up and tell her that.
* There are a number of powerful masters of mystic arts in the comic, from the villainous Mammoth Mogul to the more noble Merlin Prower (Tails' uncle) to the neutral Brotherhood Of Guardians (Knuckles' dad and other relatives). They are all aware that Dr. Robotnik/Eggman is a major threat, who doesn't mind causing ''genocide'' in order to rule the planet.\\
'''You'd expect:''' One of them would ''kill'' him. For Merlin and the Guardians, their homes and families (Tails and Knuckles) have been endangered by the guy multiple times before issue ''50''. At least Mogul could use the act to gain the heroes trust to further his own plans. Merlin actually has a spell that allowed Tails to use his SuperMode, so he could just sic Super Sonic on Eggman and win in two seconds.\\
'''Instead:''' They don't do a damn thing to stop him. By this point in the book, Eggman has rewritten reality ''twice'' and played an indirect part of the near genocide of the echidna race. It's like Sonic's status as the [[SpannerInTheWorks embodiment of chaos]] is just someone getting a counter for Eggman's insane luck.
* Geoffrey St. John, who pulled off a years long game of XanatosSpeedChess to get his master Ixis Naugus installed as king of the Republic of Acorn, learns without a doubt that Naugus is in fact evil.

Even if Naugus is still too strong to ''force'' out of power, Geoffrey could still convince Naugus to play along to keep the council on his side.\\

* This particular [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]] cartoon gives us Dr. Robotnik's goons Grounder and Scratch. Rarely do they properly implement any attacks on Sonic that work, and even when they do they find a way to screw things up royally.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' that Robotnik would either build new robots or use other ones like Coconuts occasionally, as some of his robots outside of Scratch and Grounder seem to be relatively effective. At the very least, you'd think he'd realize that Grounder and Scratch themselves are the main problem with many of his schemes, and that he would therefore assume they are no longer worth using or demote them.\\
'''Instead:''' He keeps rebuilding the same failures over and over, always wondering where he's going wrong, and constantly sending ''them'' to do more dirty work.
* Virtually every villain, ESPECIALLY Grounder and Scratch, cannot see through Sonic's disguises despite them usually never hiding his face or his blue color and spines.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Someone would pick up on the suspicious blue hedgehogs everywhere with the exact same voice as being the same guy.\\
'''Instead:'''Nobody ever realizes it, and when someone does, they rarely are close enough to stop the idiots that don't.
* ''Many'' during the first episode.
** During the story that Sonic tells Scratch and Grounder, we see Sonic walk into the bounty hunters convention, sit in the front row, and boo sarcastically alongside all the other booing robots as they look at images of Sonic.\\
'''You'd Expect:'''At least ONE robot or Robotnik would hear Sonic or notice him sitting in the front row.\\
'''Instead:''' Robotnik doesn't even realize Sonic's there until Sonic draws sarcastic attention to himself.
** Later on, Sonic rushes past multiple robots and runs up to a large green one, then points in the opposite direction and says "[[LookBehindYou I'm over there]]".\\
'''You'd Expect:''' The robot would chase Sonic.\\
'''Instead:''' [[TooDumbToLive He actually looks in the direction Sonic points, and continues looking until he gets run over by a robot stampede]].
** Later still, Sonic runs past two robots and gives them a pair of ropes and tells them not to let go, before running off.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' That a smart person would let go before anything happens.\\
'''Instead:''' They keep holding on to the point where they are slammed into everything before finally colliding with a wall.
** And towards the end, Coconuts shows up, [[GloryHound trying to take credit for Sonic's capture]]. Sonic tells him that if Scratch and Grounder get away, he'll be in trouble.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' That since he tied Scratch and Grounder up, that he'd simply tie them up harder or with more rope.\\
'''Instead:'''He takes Sonic's advice and tries to put them in the cage with Sonic, [[NiceJobFixingItVillain inevitably resulting in Sonic getting out and putting Coconuts inside with Scratch and Grounder]].
** And later still, Robotnik shows up in person to take Sonic and Tails to his dungeon personally, only to be in a surprise dust storm (that Sonic caused). Sonic then uses Grounder's phone to contact Robotnik and pretend to be a nearby control tower. Tails points a red flashlight into the dust storm at Robotnik, and Sonic convinces Robotnik that if he can see the lights, he is three feet above the ground and should cut his engines.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' That Robotnik would either recognize Sonic's voice and realize he got away, or at the very lest question why a Mobius control tower would want to help such a hated villain. Furthermore, you'd think Robotnik would question the fact that a control tower told him to shut off his engines and simply plummet three feet, and would instead slowly lower to the ground until he made contact.\\
'''Instead:'''Robotnik heeds the advice of the mystery control tower man (never realizing it's Sonic), and cuts his engines. He is then entirely surprised when he falls over 30 feet to the ground, collides with a cage, destroys Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts, and ruins his Egg-o-Matic Hovercraft.
* Much of the episode, "Birth of a Salesman" involves Dr. Robotnik buying a series of hedgehog-hunting gadgets from Wes Weasely.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Dr. Robotnik to use the gadgets himself, since he is the only one competent enough to use them (or in the case of the final attempt, at least more competent than Scratch and Grounder).\\
'''Instead:''' He sends Scratch and Grounder to use the gadgets to catch Sonic every single time. Being too dumb to use the gadgets properly, they fail miserably every single time. Robotnik pins the blame on Weasley, accusing him of selling defective products. As Weasley points out, his gadgets work too well, and are incompetent hands.
** During one such situation in the same episode, Grounder and Scratch go ahead and use a device given to them by Wes Weasley to catch Sonic in an "anti-gravity net" which will result in him being stuck in the air. They succeed, however Sonic begins stating that Tails can fly them away far better, however [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial If one of the robots comes up to get them, he admits loudly, then they won't get away]].\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Any reasonable individual to assume Sonic is either full of it as he is tricky, or that the device doesn't work since the two would just get away, and try something else.\\
'''Instead:''' Scratch takes off his 'Self gravity boots", tries to catch Sonic, then gets stuck himself Sonic tells him they'll be trapped forever, and Scratch panics and tells Grounder to shut the device off. Grounder is crushed by Scratch as the latter falls from the air, and Tails and Sonic get away.
** During the final attempt in the same episode, Robotnik buys the De-atomizer, which has an untested red switch.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' After the last three failures, Robotnik would go along with Scratch and Grounder to supervise them and ensure nothing can go wrong, or more effectively, take matters in his own hands and go by himself.\\
'''Instead:''' He sends Weasely to supervise Scratch and Grounder. Scratch presses the red button, which clones Sonic. After Sonic and his clones chase him and Grounder away [[PopcornOnTheCob by creating a giant popcorn ball]], Wes declones Sonic, and tells him about his experience with Robotnik, [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal convincing Sonic to help him get back at him]].
[[AC:Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM)]]
* In one episode, Sally, Bunnie and Antoine are at one of Robotnik's factories. Antoine accidentally falls on a conveyor belt and turns it on by pulling its lever ''at the same time''. Then he gets carried by it towards the machinery, and is too petrified with fear to get out of the conveyor belt. Sally and Bunnie to the rescue.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Them to simply turn the conveyor belt off by pulling the lever, which was just by their side.\\
'''Instead:''' They try to stop the conveyor belt ''by grabbing and pulling it''. Needless to say, they fail, so they resort to calling Sonic for help, who has to arrive and save the day at the last moment.
* In another episode, Robotnik catches Sally and creates a robotic duplicate of her to impersonate her so that Sonic takes it to Knothole and Robotnik finds out the hidden village's location.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Robotnik to put a tracer on Robo-Sally.\\
'''Instead:''' He just puts a camera on her eyes, apparently with the intention of seeing the path to Knothole, even though this one is hidden in the middle of a large forest.\\
'''Even Worse:''' [[DeusExMachina Robotnik's computer overloads]] and causes him to lose access to the camera on Robo-Sally's eyes. However, when you think about, his plan still wouldn't have worked even without the malfunction, considering that Sonic has a tendency of taking Sally back to Knothole by carrying her while running really fast. So even if Robotnik had successfully received the camera's images, he wouldn't have been able to see the path with all the blur.
* Another facepalm Robotnik moment in yet another episode: Robotnik and Snively have the Freedom Fighters trapped in a force field, and are hovering over them in an airship, ready to drop a cage over them and imprison them. Snively asks "Shall I throw the cage, sir?", and Robotnik's response is: "Negative. Let them sweat a while. There is no way for them to get through that force field. Even the hedgehog is trapped."\\
'''You'd Expect:''' For the force field to be impenetrable. Robotnik is supposed to be arrogant, but not stupid. He wouldn't risk giving Sonic extra time to break out of it for not reason if that wasn't the case.\\
'''Instead:''' It turns out that by merely using his Spin Attack (his signature move), Sonic is able to not just easily penetrate it, but also open a hole large enough for the Freedom Fighters and a small dinosaur to go through, which stays open long enough for everyone to escape. Wow. No wonder this continuity's Robotnik isn't a (mad) scientist, nor was ever shown to be capable of building any robots by himself...
* A major facepalm occurs in an episode where Sally and Dulcy manage to infiltrate Robotnik's base in order to rescue Sonic from a deathtrap. They break into Robotnik's own control room, catching Robotnik completely off guard, whereupon Dulcy immediately freezes him and Snively solid with her ice breath.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' For Dulcy to have forgone ice and breathed fire instead, or for her and Sally to either tie up, incapacitate, or kill the frozen duo, which would not only save Sonic, but '''completely win the war.''' If not, then to at least ransack his, again, '''central control room,''' for any and all vital technology and components.\\
'''Instead:''' They leave the two villains to go save Sonic at a different location, resulting in them thawing out and continuing to be a threat.
* "The Void":
** Sonic is trapped between the opening of an interdimensional portal to the Void (a sort of limbo) that is a few meters next to him, and Robotnik's army's fire.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Robotnik to order his robots to shoot and kill Sonic.\\
'''Instead:''' He makes them aim their attacks a few centimeters away from him from the opposite direction of the portal, so that he's trapped and the portal sucks him in. It works, but [[WhydontYouJustShootHim why not just shoot him and get rid of him once and for all instead?]]\\
'''Even Worse:''' Sending him into the Void was pointless, as it turns out that Sonic can escape it by merely using his super speed.\\
'''EVEN Worse:''' Scratch that, it was ''worse'' than pointless. As Robotnik knew, at the same time, the Void was the prison of many of his enemies, namely Sally, Bunnie, King Acorn, Ari, and Naugus, the latter being the only person Robotnik was truly afraid of, and someone he had betrayed in the past. Sonic helps them all escape, and now Robotnik has to deal with a vengeful Naugus, who proceeds to make Robotnik his bitch. The only thing that saved Robotnik in the end was a DiabolusExMachina that forced Naugus and King Acorn back into the Void. And even then, the others are still free from it, King Acorn got to give Sally a list of Freedom Fighters groups that can aid them, and Ari (who also knows about other Freedom Fighters) is there to help them as well. Then a few episodes later, they use the newly acquired information to contact the other groups and join together in their fight against Robotnik, forming a network of Freedom Fighters. [[NiceJobFixingItVillain Nice going, Robotnik]]. Anyway, while we're on the subject of The Void...
** Naugus and Robotnik had originally teamed up to investigate the Void. The plan was that Naugus would go into it and explore it, while Robotnik was in charge of keeping the portal open. Fearing that Robotnik would betray him and leave him trapped, he decided to threaten him by showing him what he can do with his magical powers, changing his head into that of a crow.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' To leave him like that until he returned from the Void as a warranty. Surely the prospect of staying like that forever would discourage Robotnik from betraying Naugus.\\
'''Instead:''' He changes his head back to normal before entering the Void. So Robotnik betrays and strands him in the Void, after which Naugus can't do anything, as his magic can't normally reach people in another dimension.

[[AC:Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]
* This particular [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]] cartoon gives us Dr. Robotnik's goons Grounder and Scratch. Rarely do they properly implement any attacks on Sonic that work, and even when they do they find a way to screw things up royally.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' that Robotnik would either build new robots or use other ones like Coconuts occasionally, as some of his robots outside of Scratch and Grounder seem to be relatively effective. At the very least, you'd think he'd realize that Grounder and Scratch themselves are the main problem with many of his schemes, and that he would therefore assume they are no longer worth using or demote them.\\
'''Instead:''' He keeps rebuilding the same failures over and over, always wondering where he's going wrong, and constantly sending ''them'' to do more dirty work.
* Virtually every villain, ESPECIALLY Grounder and Scratch, cannot see through Sonic's disguises despite them usually never hiding his face or his blue color and spines.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Someone would pick up on the suspicious blue hedgehogs everywhere with the exact same voice as being the same guy.\\
'''Instead:'''Nobody ever realizes it, and when someone does, they rarely are close enough to stop the idiots that don't.
* ''Many'' during the first episode.
** During the story that Sonic tells Scratch and Grounder, we see Sonic walk into the bounty hunters convention, sit in the front row, and boo sarcastically alongside all the other booing robots as they look at images of Sonic.\\
'''You'd Expect:'''At least ONE robot or Robotnik would hear Sonic or notice him sitting in the front row.\\
'''Instead:''' Robotnik doesn't even realize Sonic's there until Sonic draws sarcastic attention to himself.
** Later on, Sonic rushes past multiple robots and runs up to a large green one, then points in the opposite direction and says "[[LookBehindYou I'm over there]]".\\
'''You'd Expect:''' The robot would chase Sonic.\\
'''Instead:''' [[TooDumbToLive He actually looks in the direction Sonic points, and continues looking until he gets run over by a robot stampede]].
** Later still, Sonic runs past two robots and gives them a pair of ropes and tells them not to let go, before running off.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' That a smart person would let go before anything happens.\\
'''Instead:''' They keep holding on to the point where they are slammed into everything before finally colliding with a wall.
** And towards the end, Coconuts shows up, [[GloryHound trying to take credit for Sonic's capture]]. Sonic tells him that if Scratch and Grounder get away, he'll be in trouble.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' That since he tied Scratch and Grounder up, that he'd simply tie them up harder or with more rope.\\
'''Instead:'''He takes Sonic's advice and tries to put them in the cage with Sonic, [[NiceJobFixingItVillain inevitably resulting in Sonic getting out and putting Coconuts inside with Scratch and Grounder]].
** And later still, Robotnik shows up in person to take Sonic and Tails to his dungeon personally, only to be in a surprise dust storm (that Sonic caused). Sonic then uses Grounder's phone to contact Robotnik and pretend to be a nearby control tower. Tails points a red flashlight into the dust storm at Robotnik, and Sonic convinces Robotnik that if he can see the lights, he is three feet above the ground and should cut his engines.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' That Robotnik would either recognize Sonic's voice and realize he got away, or at the very lest question why a Mobius control tower would want to help such a hated villain. Furthermore, you'd think Robotnik would question the fact that a control tower told him to shut off his engines and simply plummet three feet, and would instead slowly lower to the ground until he made contact.\\
'''Instead:'''Robotnik heeds the advice of the mystery control tower man (never realizing it's Sonic), and cuts his engines. He is then entirely surprised when he falls over 30 feet to the ground, collides with a cage, destroys Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts, and ruins his Egg-o-Matic Hovercraft.
* Much of the episode, "Birth of a Salesman" involves Dr. Robotnik buying a series of hedgehog-hunting gadgets from Wes Weasely.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Dr. Robotnik to use the gadgets himself, since he is the only one competent enough to use them (or in the case of the final attempt, at least more competent than Scratch and Grounder).\\
'''Instead:''' He sends Scratch and Grounder to use the gadgets to catch Sonic every single time. Being too dumb to use the gadgets properly, they fail miserably every single time. Robotnik pins the blame on Weasley, accusing him of selling defective products. As Weasley points out, his gadgets work too well, and are incompetent hands.
** During one such situation in the same episode, Grounder and Scratch go ahead and use a device given to them by Wes Weasley to catch Sonic in an "anti-gravity net" which will result in him being stuck in the air. They succeed, however Sonic begins stating that Tails can fly them away far better, however [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial If one of the robots comes up to get them, he admits loudly, then they won't get away]].\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Any reasonable individual to assume Sonic is either full of it as he is tricky, or that the device doesn't work since the two would just get away, and try something else.\\
'''Instead:''' Scratch takes off his 'Self gravity boots", tries to catch Sonic, then gets stuck himself Sonic tells him they'll be trapped forever, and Scratch panics and tells Grounder to shut the device off. Grounder is crushed by Scratch as the latter falls from the air, and Tails and Sonic get away.
** During the final attempt in the same episode, Robotnik buys the De-atomizer, which has an untested red switch.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' After the last three failures, Robotnik would go along with Scratch and Grounder to supervise them and ensure nothing can go wrong, or more effectively, take matters in his own hands and go by himself.\\
'''Instead:''' He sends Weasely to supervise Scratch and Grounder. Scratch presses the red button, which clones Sonic. After Sonic and his clones chase him and Grounder away [[PopcornOnTheCob by creating a giant popcorn ball]], Wes declones Sonic, and tells him about his experience with Robotnik, [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal convincing Sonic to help him get back at him]].
[[AC:Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM)]]
* In one episode, Sally, Bunnie and Antoine are at one of Robotnik's factories. Antoine accidentally falls on a conveyor belt and turns it on by pulling its lever ''at the same time''. Then he gets carried by it towards the machinery, and is too petrified with fear to get out of the conveyor belt. Sally and Bunnie to the rescue.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Them to simply turn the conveyor belt off by pulling the lever, which was just by their side.\\
'''Instead:''' They try to stop the conveyor belt ''by grabbing and pulling it''. Needless to say, they fail, so they resort to calling Sonic for help, who has to arrive and save the day at the last moment.
* In another episode, Robotnik catches Sally and creates a robotic duplicate of her to impersonate her so that Sonic takes it to Knothole and Robotnik finds out the hidden village's location.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Robotnik to put a tracer on Robo-Sally.\\
'''Instead:''' He just puts a camera on her eyes, apparently with the intention of seeing the path to Knothole, even though this one is hidden in the middle of a large forest.\\
'''Even Worse:''' [[DeusExMachina Robotnik's computer overloads]] and causes him to lose access to the camera on Robo-Sally's eyes. However, when you think about, his plan still wouldn't have worked even without the malfunction, considering that Sonic has a tendency of taking Sally back to Knothole by carrying her while running really fast. So even if Robotnik had successfully received the camera's images, he wouldn't have been able to see the path with all the blur.
* Another facepalm Robotnik moment in yet another episode: Robotnik and Snively have the Freedom Fighters trapped in a force field, and are hovering over them in an airship, ready to drop a cage over them and imprison them. Snively asks "Shall I throw the cage, sir?", and Robotnik's response is: "Negative. Let them sweat a while. There is no way for them to get through that force field. Even the hedgehog is trapped."\\
'''You'd Expect:''' For the force field to be impenetrable. Robotnik is supposed to be arrogant, but not stupid. He wouldn't risk giving Sonic extra time to break out of it for not reason if that wasn't the case.\\
'''Instead:''' It turns out that by merely using his Spin Attack (his signature move), Sonic is able to not just easily penetrate it, but also open a hole large enough for the Freedom Fighters and a small dinosaur to go through, which stays open long enough for everyone to escape. Wow. No wonder this continuity's Robotnik isn't a (mad) scientist, nor was ever shown to be capable of building any robots by himself...

* In ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'', Sonic and Tails, having two of the Chaos Emeralds, encounter Knuckles, who is looking for pieces to the Master Emerald in the Mystic Ruins.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Knuckles to ask Sonic if he's seen any of the Master Emerald pieces.\\
'''Instead''': Knuckles verbally orders Sonic to hand over his Emeralds without clarifying which kind he wants. Sonic, thinking Knuckles means the Chaos Emeralds, challenges him to a fight and in doing so loses the two Chaos Emeralds. Eggman promptly shows up after that, swiping them and giving them to Chaos.

'''You'd Expect''': Anyone who has previously seen Sonic, upon gazing on Shadow for the first time, to immediately notice that this hedgehog is not Sonic. For one thing, Shadow's fur is black and has red stripes, whilst Sonic's is blue all over.\\

* In ''[[VideoGame/SonicChronicles Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood]]'', Imperator Ix, after taking a thrashing from the entirety of SonicTheHedgehog's team, taps the VillainBall long enough to blurt out how he plans to conquer the world like he tried four thousand years ago. Procurator Shade, who has demonstrated tactical competence up to that point, happened to be within earshot and immediately questioned his motives.\\
'''You'd expect''' Ix to apologize to Shade, grab the Master Emerald, return to the Nocturne with Shade in tow, and explain to her the necessity of such actions.\\
'''Instead''' Ix firmly grasps the VillainBall, cuts her off with a very loud [[SilenceYouFool "SILENCE!!"]] and blasts her off the island. He gets away with the Master Emerald anyway, but Knuckles saves Shade's bacon, having recovered from the shock that the Nocturnus are still alive after all this time. [[spoiler: This incident gives Shade all the reason she needs to [[HeelFaceTurn switch allegiences]] ]].
* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'' has Princess Elise, a DamselInDistress who gets captured by Dr. Eggman multiple times in the same chapter. After Sonic saves the princess yet again, she returns to Soleana and sees that Eggman is attacking the city.\\
'''You'd Expect''': The princess would send out her army/guards to defend the city and run to safety her self or at least go in hiding.\\
'''Instead''': Elise decides to surrender herself to Eggman in order to spare the city of further destruction, citing that "it's her duty as a princess to protect her country", knowing full well that the mad doctor wants to take over the world and use Elise' power to achieve that goal. To make matters worse, the airship that Elise and Eggman are on malfunctions and crashes into the mountainside, killing them both before Sonic could arrive in time to save her. If it wasn't for Silver's idea to have Sonic go back in time so he could prevent the princess' death, the story would have ended right there.
