** In another question, Pizzaheadnascar asked the crew "What is the meaning of life?". And, apart from Eggman, each of the characters have a heartwarming response to that.
-->'''Amy:''' I think life is about finding someone you love, someone you connect with, and chasing both of your dreams together in earnest!\\
'''Tails:''' To me, life is about utilizing what you've got to make the world around you a happier, more fulfilling place!\\
'''Shadow:''' I believe an accomplished life is making mistakes, growing and being sure they don't happen again, for your own sake, and for the people of the planet.\\
'''Knuckles:''' Woah... Everyone's so prepared for this question. Just, uh... do your best, and, um... have fun, heh!\\
'''Sonic:''' (after shushing Eggman) Life's about freedom! Live true to yourself, live by no-one else, and live to make yourself proud!

** A Speed Strats series for ''Sonic Frontiers'' also got started sometime after the game's release, with Evan back at it again to show players the ropes of the newest adventure.
* In the fifth Twitter Takeover, Knuckles and Amy both join in, and the gang have a good time overall, despite the chaos that unfolds.

* There's something to be said about Big's [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap escape from Scrappy-dom]]. Upon his introduction to the franchise, he was derided for his dopey personality and tedious fishing gameplay, becoming synonymous with the oversaturation of side characters in the series, with even Sega themselves trying to sweep him under the rug. However, as time passed, Big's appearances in side games and media tweaked his characterization and made better use of his character, bringing gameplay more in line with the rest of the cast, and his reception slowly improved to the point that news he would be making his main series return in ''VideoGame/SonicFrontiers'' (19 years after his last appearance in ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes'') was actually met with praise from a lot of the fanbase!

* The ''Sonic Origins: Speed Strats'' web series is a really sweet way of showing newer fans of the blue blur how to play the four original classic games, all while mixing a good amount of humor in to entertain them. Even with the levels of criticism the game received upon launch, the Speed Strats series is still well-received all around.

** One question asks what Dr. Eggman would do if he wasn’t a villain. While Shadow thinks he’d become a [[CrazyCatLady Crazy Cat Man]], Sonic is very optimistic about him, thinking he could be a professional golfer, a movie star, or a singer.

* Getting a Good Future in VideoGame/SonicCD. In direct contrast to the wasteland that was BadFuture, everyone in the Good Future is free from Eggman's havoc (save from the boss fights) and there are virtually no Badniks anywhere. In addition, the environment has also improved thanks to benevolent technological assistance (such as the trees in Palmtree Panic apparently having a direct water system supporting them), leading to [[SceneryPorn beautiful landscapes]] brimming with animal life.

* For the franchise's 30th anniversary, Masato Nakamura (the original composer of ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1'' and ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2'') and his band, Dreams Come True, composed all new vocal arrangements of his own Green Hill Zone. One of the arrangements, the Sonic themed "Masado and Miwasco" version features [[https://en.memesrandom.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/3cefafe6-83f8-90dd-423f-153061ad6871.jpg this image of Sonic, Nakamura and Nishikawa running happily through the zone]]. Just seeing Sonic happily reunite with the original composers that started it all after decades is a heartwarming sight in of itself.

** ''Shadow'' out of all characters got a lot of heartwarming moments, from having a kitten orphanage and supporting indie sodas to donating his rings to charity and supporting a local shopping center called "Maria's" so that he can support at least one Maria in the world. Also, when someone asks about whether or not spirits exist, he answers "Yes" after a brief moment that is very obviously him seeing an apparition of Maria.
