Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for Sonic the Hedgehog 3!

Sonic the Hedgehog 3introduced major changes to a core character thatSonic 4must explain within the narrative.

Most of the unique elements feel fun but still respect the video games.

Knuckles might have a different reputation in the movies, but they play into his existing strength.

Sonic has a family, but this feels like a natural progression from his isolated state.

He approaches Sonic from behind and tries to eliminate the hero, but Sonic dodges the blast.

After Sonic taunts Metal Sonics appearance,other Metal Sonics reveal themselves, though, circling the main character.

Luckily,Sonic 3introduces Amy Rose just in time for her to take out the enemies.

Despite taking many forms, only one Metal Sonic exists in the Sega games.

In the video games, Doctor Eggman only makes oneMetal Sonic, who becomes Sonics most formidable nemesis.

This could be because of theMetal Sonic and Amy Rose time travel theory.

She might have known where they would be, giving her the advantage.

However, its still outside the norm for Metal Sonic to get defeated like that.

Dr. Eggman is a rogue government agent.

Shadow the Hedgehog is an alien from an asteroid.

Gerald Robotnik didnt create Shadow, and his granddaughter doesnt have a fatal illness.

Based on this trend,Sonic the Hedgehog 4will most likely change Metal Sonics backstory.

Metal Sonics origin and abilities in the video games dont really fit with theSonic the Hedgehog 3mid-credits scene anyway.

As discussed, Metal wouldnt be okay with other Metal Sonics.

Robotnik wouldnt necessarily have the resources to make an army of them, even if he wanted to.

The robots dont seem to be nearly as powerful or fast in the films.
