Sonic the Hedgehog

Corrected entry: Sonic uses the word "southpaw" during the baseball scene. The word "southpaw" means that you're left-handed. However, in the bar scene, he is shown writing his bucket list with his right hand.

Correction: Sonic was pretending to be different players, some were right handed and some left handed. He's batting right handed, but on the mound he is in fact pitching left handed. When he's being the "space case" in left, he's also shown to be left handed (glove on the right hand). When he throws the ball home, he throws right handed.

Corrected entry: During the bar fight notice two women, a blonde and a brunette, they're ready to use beer bottles with the blonde's back to the audience. Then, once Sonic has tied everyone's legs together, they've suddenly switched places.

Correction: Background is different in these two shots, so they didn't switch places but merely were shot from the opposite angles.

Corrected entry: Maybe it's the lighting on the Mushroom World but Dr Robotnik's mustache looks red when prior to that it was brown.

Rob245

Correction: This may have been intentional. In the final scene on the Mushroom Planet, Robotnik looks closer to his video game counterpart; he shaves his head and his mustache is much longer.

This is probably done to make way for Eggman in the second movie (which is in talks).

Continuity mistake: Robotnik's shaving his head, leaving smudges on it. A shot later his head's suddenly clean. (01:29:10)

Trivia: On the rooftop in San Francisco, at one point Sonic starts tapping his foot and looks at his wrist. This is a reference to the "idle animations" from the first few "Sonic" games for the Sega Genesis, in which he does something similar if the player doesn't push any buttons for a while.

Question: This is a two part question: firstly if Crazy Carl was onto Sonic why didn't he find any of Sonic's quills when Tom found one without even looking for one? Secondly: what happened to the ring that Sonic threw and bounced of the robot, did he get it back, or will it play a part in getting Robotnick back in the possible sequel?

Darth Crucible

Answer: First, it seems Sonic doesn't shed his quills that easily. Tom found one just by sheer luck. Second, yes that ring is likely going to play a part in the sequel.
