Fridge Brilliance[]

  • Why does Egg Dealer have a Shadow Fever option, you may ask? Why, to power up his army of Shadow Androids, of course!
  • How can the ARK's cannon fire in the Last Story, when Shadow was using the Chaos Emeralds to maintain his Super form, when it was stated in Sonic Adventure 2 that the Chaos Emeralds were the power source for the cannon? Beause the cannon never fired in SA2, so it's using the remaining power from when Eggman tried to use the Emeralds to fire the cannon at the end of that game.
  • Apparently, the Sonic universe has a really efficient system for city evacuation. Central City is evacuated in about a day, and Westopolis is evacuated in the time it takes Shadow to run down a hill to it. With all of the evil plots for world domination and other problems throughout the 3D games, of course they'd have efficient evacuation plans!


Fridge Horror[]

  • The Slightly Hero - Dark Ending is full of this. Shadow stays aboard the Ark to protect it. With all of the Chaos Emeralds in his poession. So the only forces defending earth from Black Doom and his army are G.U.N, and Sonic and Pals. And considering what happens during the True final ending, and the fact that Sonic can't go super without the Emeralds... yeah.
    • Well, Black Doom needed the emeralds to start his endgame in the first place, so it could go either way, really, assuming both sides left Shadow alone.
  • In Shadow the Hedgehog, human GUN soldiers are knocked down and paralyzed when hit, rather than outright killed, for a couple of obvious reasons; it'd be a little dark for the "E10" rating, not to mention harder to sympathize with Shadow if he was a murderer. But at the game's climax, it's revealed that the Black Arms intended to use humans as an "energy source". Food. And if Shadow completes the Dark Mission for almost any stage, he usually ends up aiding the Black Arms in overrunning the given area; thus, all the soldiers he's rendered helpless and immobile are, in all probability, going to be eaten alive by the conquering aliens.
  • Slightly Hero - Hero Ending made it sound like Shadow really WAS sorry for the carnage he committed. A little too sorry. Vector's "DON'T GO THERE!" comment made it sound like Shadow was going to commit SUICIDE! And what's worse, it was IMPLIED that he DID! Along with the emeralds... yeah, next time Sonic is down, the world is screwed...
  • The video you see in the last story reveals that Professor Gerald was a good person who had genuinely understandable reasons for doing the things he did. However, the video becomes quite horrifying when you realise that it was made before Maria died (as she appears at the end) and therefore, it was made long before the video shown in Sonic Adventure 2. It's just scary to see that he went from a good man to a psychopath who wanted to destroy the earth using the weapons he'd created to SAVE it.

Fridge Logic
...Where is Omega during the Last Story? He's a robot, he would also be immune to the gas. All that firepower could sure come in handy.

    • Omega is an E-100 series robot, and as a result is still being powered by an animal. The nerve gas might make him power down due to the animal being affected.
    • There is no evidence that Omega is powered by an animal. While he is an E-100 series robot considering his debut in Sonic Heroes which features enemies which do not release animals when destroyed indicating at this point Eggman moved on to using a none organic source to power his robots its highly possible the same applies to Omega as Eggman probably didn't create him around the same time as the previous E-100 series robots. Also E-100 Alpha AKA Zero in Sonic Adventure was an E-100 series robot too but there was no trace of an animal being released when Amy destroyed him meaning he wasn't being powered by an animal either. Oh and since Omega is still around to this day and one of the heroes it would be rather cruel and unethical on the heroes part to be perfectly aware there's an animal in Omega, but continue allowing the animal to be trapped inside Omega for the sake of keeping Omega running. Sonic certainly wouldn't be cool with that.
