Continuity mistake: GUN was formed during the events of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. In the Knuckles series, the Buyer stated that GNU had existed long ago, under a different name. However, in the flashback in Sonic 3, the door of the laboratory that Shadow was in has the GUN logo.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024)
1 continuity mistake
Directed by: Jeff Fowler
Starring: Idris Elba, Ben Schwartz, Colleen O'Shaughnessey
Plot hole: Robotnik and Grandpa Robotnik are dancing through lasers. The suits reflect lasers, but their heads are completely exposed.
Suggested correction: Gerald notes that the lasers are specifically conforming to the shape of his body, and Robotnik explains that the suits were designed to create a field that specifically attracts/distorts the lasers.
The lasers were redirected by the suits towards their heads multiple times.
A couple of times during their dance, the lasers vaguely reflect in the general direction of their heads due to their dance moves, but that doesn't invalidate the correction. The movie provides an adequate explanation for how they are able to get through the hallway; their suits are distorting and redirecting the lasers away from them.
Shadow the Hedgehog: When we're done, there won't be anything left.
Trivia: Director Jeff Fowler, who directed all three "Sonic the Hedgehog" movies, actually worked on the game "Shadow the Hedgehog" as an animation director. Given his past with the character, he was excited and honoured to be the one who got to introduce Shadow on the big screen.
Question: How did Stone see Robotnik's message at the end? It appeared to be displayed on jumbotron-like devices in big city squares, but Stone was in London and there didn't appear to be any giant screens, or even small ones, anywhere near him.
Answer: Per a quick Google search, it appears there are several locations in London where there are giant screens. He likely was running around the city in a panic (there is a doomsday weapon threatening to destroy mankind, after all) and managed to stumble onto one of the locations.
