No seriously, how did Eggman even have the slightest clue that this emerald wasn't the real one?

no seriously, how did Eggman even have the slightest clue that this emerald wasn't the real one?

He has the master plan.

Also in Dark Side, he figures out their plan when he gets two readings instead of one, and he knows them well enough that they wouldn't give him the real one when they have the option to trick him. Even if he wasn't sure, after capturing Sonic, he tricks Tails into admitting it was fake right there in your image.

Not to mention Sonic was far too cocky when handing over the emerald for it to be the real one.

oh shit didnt know the dark side explained it
thanks user

But why wouldnt he instead assume they had 2 emeralds?

Eggman already had 6.

Because you just TOLD him, foxboy!

He has the other 6

There are only 7 chaos emeralds and at the time Eggman had 6 of them.

this should have been the first and only response to this shit thread

oh shit i havent even played Dark Story yet
thanks anons i guess im an idiot

How come the Green Forest cutscene takes place halfway through the level but Sonic is warped back to the beginning?

Was King Boom Boo affiliated with Eggman in some way or was it just a total coincidence he existed and lived in his base?

I think it's just a coincidence. It's not like Eggman built it 100%, it's old Egyptian ruins that he just moved into.

They probably did it so that right after you learn about the bombs the level immediately starts and keeps the urgency. If it was a regular cutscene then you would've been taken to a loading screen afterwards.

Sonic adventure 2 battle?

Then why is it that Knuckles ran into King Boom Boo first, and Eggman didn't trigger him at all in any way?

We don't know if he did or not. It's possible he did and he probably had an easy time with him since it's not that hard to beat

Why didn't he kill Sonic and Tails near Casinopolis when he put them to sleep but instead just stole the chaos emerald and got away?

The Adventure games have shit writing
There's the explanation

Tails has shit poker face

He only wants to kill Sonic when he has total victory. Its not just making Eggman Land, it's a rivalry and challenge for Eggman.

Hurting them would've just woken them up and they'd lose rings. Since they've just come out of Casinopolis, Eggman assumed that the two were carrying rings on them when they left. It was a safer bet just to take the emerald and run.

oh my god

you just won the thread with this post

How come Shadow is an enjoyable character in literally everything except his own game?

ITT: Sonic Adventure is the most kino shit ever when explained further

>pulling shit out of your ass to justify bad writing

>Hurting them would've just woken them up and they'd lose rings.
Yeah no that doesn't make sense

Shadow is only enjoyable if you think Naruto is enjoyable

>bad writing
>In Sonic, which doesn't take itself seriously at all
Robotnik wants to defeat Sonic before killing him. What fun would it be if he just killed him?

It's a pretty common thing in villain rivalries, actually.

Almost nothing instantly kills Sonic. He'd just take damage. Pic related is the only thing that can 1-hit KO him. Hurting him while he's asleep wouldn't keep him in a sleep state, because nobody works like that.

Eggman literally tries to kill Sonic in Adventure 2, with no remorse. Eggman's out for blood in the Adventure games.

>That boss
NO

>Eggman literally tries to kill Sonic in Adventure 2, with no remorse. Eggman's out for blood in the Adventure games.

Same in Unleashed. Dude gets fucking pissed in the Egg Dragoon fight.

At that point, Eggman pretty much beat Sonic. He just didn't expect to lose to Tails....but that doesn't really matter since he escapes with the emerald and gets rused by Shadow and Gerald's plan.

HERE I COME
ROUGHER THAN THE REST OF DEM, THE BEST OF DEM
