Poor, poor Silver, much like Serge, gets caught up in a Xanatos Gambit. Well, they're both robots, I guess.? And the waiting for centuries thing, that too. Shadow goes after his own antagonist, much like Frog, who fights Magus. They're both the resident tech geeks and close friends of the hero, but Tails doesn't do ANYTHING with his technical skill, period. Except Marle goes on to become a playable character with a better personality, while Elise gets kidnapped a few more times. Naturally, Crono gets the better death and resurrection scenes. They're the leading men of the story, and what's more, The hero dies, and is ressurected, and this is where is ends up being more like Chrono Cross - said destructive being fuses with another entity and tries to destroy all of time, but is beaten. Boy meets girl, boy saves girl (except Sonic 06 has the girl constantly getting kidnapped and Trigger has Marle as an Action Girl, way better than Elise), the heroes learn of an event in the future involving a being that destroys the world when they end up in the future, and they try to stop it. Sonic 06's plot seems more like Trigger than Cross. I'm putting quite a bit of it in a spoiler, since not everyone has played the Chrono games (you should, Trigger is the best Square RPG evar). After some thinking, it hit me - Sonic 06 has blatant similarities with the Chrono Series (Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross), albeit done not nearly as well. A long time ago, I noticed that the Crisis City theme had more than a passing resemblence with the battle theme of Chrono Trigger.
