The question is: what could it have been that has kept Sonic out of the loop this much? Sonic's all about speed, especially when it's a race against time, such as stopping Eggman from pulling off something devastating. To drop the ball on letting Eggman have the occasional victory now and again is one thing, but the gameplay trailer is evident that Dr. Eggman has attacked that stage for quite a long time, perhaps a few months at least judging from the barricades and damages. That is what excites me! Sonic has lost and must now claim a victory where it matters the most. In a way, he is facing the challenge many other incarnations of himself has faced: taking a world back which is under Eggman's control.
