    I just realized a major continuity error in Sonic Adventure DX (the XBox version) that I'm sure has been found before... the train station interior changes completely between the Station Square-side mockup and the actual loaded station. The floor changes from green to brown, and the pillars go from red brick to grey stone.

    Any other blatant continuity errors you've noticed within a Sonic game?

    Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is a blood bath of continuity errors.

    I would say Sonic 06, but it was retconned entirely at the end.

    Now that's how you save a badly written story. :eng101:

    Keep in mind that I don't mean "This part of the story contradicts the story in another game." Just continuity errors within a single game.

    Because obviously, Angel Island in Sonic Adventure looks nothing like Angel Island of Sonic 3, etcetera etcetera.

    Nothing that concerns this place in the least.
    Yes, I've noticed quite a few continuity errors, such as Blaze and Nega Robotnik/Eggman Nega being from the future, when it was originally established that they were from another dimension. Also, in Sonic Heroes, during the Egg Hawk battle cutscene, Charmy acts as if he's never Robotnik. Later on, he also says, "Our client sure seems to know a lot about this Dr. Eggman guy?", as if they were trying to emphasize it.

    In fact, I even remember making a topic about these very subjects almost four years ago.

    Thank you. That entire concept known as Angel Island gets wrecked upon entering Sonic Adventure.

    To be fair, I think Iizuka specifically stated that he is deliberately treating Team Chaotix like new characters. So that's less of an error, more of a general disregard.

    They're both a giant landmass in the sky with lots of greenery, and a mountain range (going by the GC cutscenes for Adventure).

    I think the entire mountain section and forest section of Mystic Ruins is part of Angel Island, not just the tiny little section where the Master Emerald is.

    Even in Sonic X, they call Angel Island the Mystic Ruins.

    Cos it's shit. Joking aside, I would like to hear why.

    On topic, the obvious 'Why doesn't Knuckles remember who The Chaotix are'. Also, how does Shadow use Chaos Control in his StH intro / Sonic2006 without a Chaos Emerald?

    I don't think the forest is part of Angel Island. But there's a lot more of it in cutscenes than you see ingame.

    So...

    How did Sonic get a snowboard in Icecap Zone while being shot from a cannon?

    He landed on the snowboard actually.

    Also, how do the Chaotix know of Knuckles' 'powerful punches' when their rebooted versions never met Knuckles in-game?



    Perhaps it was intended to be a piece of Flying Battery before they switch the level order?

    Isn't he supposed to be some kind of world famous treasure hunter whenever he's shirking his Guardian duties?

    There's one in Sonic Colours. Tropical Resort 1, Tails explains to you that White Wisps let you boost. The problem is, they haven't met any Wisps yet, let alone does he know what they're called.

    It's not Tails, silly. It's just a helpful disembodied voice that sounds like Tails.

    Yes. You know at the end when you break the door? I think I read somewhere that you were supposed to use that door as snowboard. Not sure where I read that though, but I'm pretty sure it's official and not speculation.
