This episode contains examples of:
- Bowdlerise: A lot of stuff was removed from the English dub:
- Parts of the scene where Stewart protects Scarlet from the black-suited agents.
- Knuckles cuts Rouge's cheek during their fight scene.
- A shot of Tanaka lying on the floor, surrounded by broken glass.
- Mr. Smith shoots Maria and then drops his gun and leans against the door in complete shock.
- Break the Cutie: Happens to Tails and Amy when Sonic gets blown up inside the capsule, or did he?
- Cliffhanger: The episode ends with a video of Gerald Robotnik announcing that the world will be destroyed.
- Disneyfication: This episode replaces the part where Eggman holds Amy at gunpoint by just Eggman grabbing Amy with his machine.
- Say My Name: Amy shouts out Sonic's name after the capsule explodes.
- Ungrateful Bitch: Rouge's response to Knuckles saving her from falling was angrily snatching her hand away from him, thus leading the two resuming their arguing.
