Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 video game)/Fridge


 * Fridge Logic -> Fridge Brilliance: A lot of the game's plot falls apart if you think about it too much . Fridge-inducing moments include: why Mephiles had to despite having the power to travel through time; how Elise knew Silver ; the infamous ; for that matter, where any of the seven Chaos Emeralds are during the plot at large,, and why so many levels end with nothing accomplished..
 * Everything else listed, however, has no excuse.
 * It actually is a plot hole.
 * Yes, it's STILL a plothole, as the game never bothered explaining how the time loop started.
 * Maybe there's 2 blue Chaos Emeralds due to one being in the time loop. Yes, it's a paradox, but they're Chaos Emeralds. They don't have to follow logic.
 * That can't be possible. If there were two blue emeralds, how come that when hunting for Chaos Emeralds in previous games, the Sonic characters never found Elise's emerald (especially when they used radars to detect their energy signatures)?
 * Why does Iblis jump towards the purple glowing orbs during the Iblis Phase 2 battle? Because they give off the same kind of energy as Mephiles (the purple mist is the same, and the orbs are found in dark areas, except the fight, where it's slightly lit in there. The purple mist resembles Mephiles' ooze form). He's drawn to anything that resembles Mephiles, and is therefore not a stupid beast distracted by something shiny.
 * Why doesn't Amy react jealously when
 * And, you know,
 * If both of Elise's parents are dead, and Soleanna is a monarchy, then why is Elise still a princess and not a queen? And who has been ruling Soleanna for the past several years if it hasn't been Elise?
 * She's still a princess because Princesses Rule and children associate princesses with good and queens with evil.
 * Why does Silver trust Mephiles The Dark so easily? Well, Silver and Blaze live in a post-apocalyptic world, where there is no one left but them, presumably. They wouldn't be familiar with the Obviously Evil trope, and now that they see that they have a possibility to change their world, they take it.
 * While they don't share the same VA, . Why?.
 * Why does using Chaos Boost as Shadow a key element in defeating Mephiles? Maybe it's just this trooper over thinking, but notice the color of Shadow's power up; it's red. In the previous game, one of Shadow's powers involves himself filling his heart/mind with rage and evil in order to access the negative aspects of his powers. What color does said form make him? Red as well! Mephiles is keen to making Shadow turn against humanity by filling him with rage at their supposed inevitable betrayal. Notice to how whenever Shadow uses Chaos Boost, he moves at blinding speed (even to the viewers), teleports from one enemy to another in quick succession, his destructive power increases, etc, ergo, he becomes more aggressive in this form. Mephiles likely sees this as a chance to manipulate Shadow and escalate Shadow's anger and frustration into a level in where he takes it out on humanity, thus he fights Shadow personally and dissolve the shadows in their fight so Shadow will direct his hatred entirely on him, potentially reaching to a level Mephiles would want. Thank goodness, Shadow had a game and a half's worth of Character Development before this happens.
