If Sonic's so fast, why couldn't he catch Dr. Robotnik?

Just catching him wouldn't be fair. You gotta destroy his robot as well, it's just rude otherwise.

Where in the game does it say Robotnik can't match Sonic in speed? Nowhere. You just assumed Robotnik didn't have super speed.

The fattest man alive vs. the faster hedgehog alive

Hedgehogs are not very fast animals. If they're not close enough to dive into their burrows even you could easily run one down on foot.

Robotnick has Emerald powers he injects into himself for short bursts of speed. You're assuming he isn't just egging (KAKAKA) Sonic on between skirmishes. There has been MANY instances where he could just outright kill Sonic. Fatman likes the hunt.

Ok you gotta be brave now. Sonic is just a videogame. None of the characters are real.

Eggman is constantly holding back, anon. He could always go this fast, but not relying on his natural speed is part of the game he plays with the inhabitants of Sonic's world.
