** ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'' didn't receive a full adaptation, only a tie-in issue that goes over Shadow's backstory and the comic's version of the events leading up to Sonic's arrest, telling the reader to buy the game if they want the full story. This led to some immediate story problems going unexplained, such as the fact that Tails and Knuckles were preoccupied with their own plots at the time and couldn't have taken part in the comic's version of ''SA2'' or that Robotnik's grandfather working for GUN makes little sense due to Station Square and overlander society being separate at the time. Later on, in Shadow's first major story arc, there were some issues stemming from the creative team's unfamiliarity with the games, such as Shadow not knowing that Eggman was Gerald's grandson and Eggman claiming that Maria was his half-sister instead of his cousin.

* LivingGhost: An early issue sees Sonic apparently killed in an explosion of one of Robotnik's newest inventions, much the the sadness of his friends who hold a funeral for him. Even Sonic thinks this is the case when he wakes up and finds he cannot interact with anything else. In reality, his superspeed combined with the machine's explosion has thrown him out of phase with reality, a condition that is slowly correcting itself when he suddenly discovers a random passerby can hear his voice but can't see him and that he can grab objects but still walks through walls. Taking advantage of this, Sonic proceeds to help his friends beat Robotnik by using his temporary powers to convince the doctor he's being haunted. By the end of the issue Sonic is back to normal.

** Speaking of Ceneca-9009, in issue #118 the Bem kidnap Sonic, Tails, Eggman, and Snively, roboticize the former two, deroboticize the latter, and put them in a fight. Naturally, Sonic and Tails win... but because they won ''while roboticized'', the Bem conclude that Mobians are naturally better-suited as robots and order Ceneca-9009 to turn ''every Mobian alive'' into robots. If it weren't for her deciding ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight and ''de''roboticizing the Robians instead, Sonic and Tails would have done more to fulfill Eggman's plans than Eggman ever did himself.

* TruceTrickery: When the Xorda return to attack Mobius, Eggman offers up a temporary truce with the Kingdom of Knothole. He claims to have a machine capable of fighting back against the Xorda's doomsday weapon, but it requires Sonic's superspeed to work. King Acorn agrees (after first forcing Eggman into ceding Territory to them) and Sonic is sent out. Unfortunately it turns out while Eggman had been telling the truth about the machine stopping the Xorda weapon, it was also meant to kill Sonic once it's task was done.

* ShipSinking:
** Sonic and Fiona, and Tails and Fiona, via the comics and Word of God.
** Ian Flynn shot down the possibility of a romance between Tails and Barby Koala, referring to the fact that the age difference between the two characters made the ShipTeasing earlier writers had included ''very'' uncomfortable:
--->"There is no Barby/Tails. Barby's affections were entirely one-sided, not to mention extremely creepy. I'll find a way to write that one into the ground to bury and kill it later, but for now, there is no Barby/Tails. And there won't be so long as I'm on the book."

In #175, Eggman pulled out all the stops and uses a powerful fleet to reduce the Freedom Fighter home to nothing. Luckily, the have a new home to go to in the form of ''New'' Mobotropolis.
