Sure Mickey Mouse or Bugs Bunny cartoons were about protagonist trumping the antagonists of the episode, but usually it's purely for the sake of humour, or at times because the protagonist feels wronged and want to give the antagonist a hard time because of it.

AoSTH SOnic is like "Robuttniks up to no good again, time to troll his day!" and when he realises the situation is no laughing matter would do what he can to save the day. So while AoSTH was a slapstick kids cartoon, even the version of Sonic in it is still a hero.

Meanwhile Sonic Boom, Eggman will send robots on Bygone Island when he feels like it. Eggman has very low standards in comparison to Robotnik. Eggmans idea for a victory is being at least beat Sonic in a battle regardless of actually harming him or not and returning home with most of his robots intact. Eggman has no drive to conquer or a love for it unlike Dr. Robotnik. Who knows, maybe in season two Eggface will be a lot more intent on conquering...
