When not captured she and sonic have some alone time where they....don't talk about anything. Sonic just tells elise to run and smile but never ever tells her why she should or why he does it in the first place. the lack of development in any way between sonic and elise, or even just them individually ruins any enjoyment that one could have from sonic's campaign, which can be ignored or just skipped since all the real plot comes from shadow and silver. But what's wrong with damsel in distress, Princess Peach is infamous of being a damsel in distress, so why not Princess Elise because unlike any mario game, sonic 06 tries to teach a lesson with elise. That feeling sorry for yourself during bad times doesn't help anything. If you have time to be sad then at the very least smile and overcome your obstacles. Only then can you let it out. the standard super mario is just a platformer who's only story is the set up and resolution of the kidnapping of princess peach it isn't trying to tell a compelling story or teach a lesson. Elise is a damsel in distress like peach is, but the biggest difference is that sonic and elise have talks together and such, little to none, but talks none the less. That was my problem, Elise is not written well. So badly written that she barely does anything useful or interesting until she kisses sonic. Peach is barely written at all, but hey it isn't about peach (unless it is her game). Peach only serves as motivation and nothing more...and her cakes.
