PreSGW!Archie had its own temporal weirdness with it being said that SA2 happened exactly like it did in the games... but yeah no.

I always wonder how different the events of the Pre-Archie version of SA2 were, especially since Amy, Knuckles, and Tails couldn't participate at all.
Amy was probably in Mercia or on her way to Knothole.
Knuckles turned green.
And Tails waskidnappedunconscious.
The only thing that could be said to have happened the same would be the fight against the Biolizard and the "death" of Shadow.
I wonder if Robo-Robotnik would also be baffled by how Gerald was willing to destroy the world just for the death of a single person.
Well for starter
When Shadow was awakened from stasis fifty years later, it was thanks to Gerald's grandson's alternate counterpart, Dr. Eggman. Coveting Shadow's power so that he could take over the world, Eggman enlisted Shadow's aid in acquiring the Chaos Emeralds. Shadow proceeded to steal Station Square's Chaos Emerald, after facing off against the city's protector, Silver Sonic v2.0. Shadow simply used his Chaos Control to destroy Silver Sonic II once and for all. Due to his similar appearance to Sonic, Station Square's army believed the theft to have been Sonic the Hedgehog, and thus sent their military after him instead and hires Rouge to recover the Chaos Emerald.
Later, a team of G.U.N. operatives, the Paladin Team Sigma-Alpha 2, headed by Hugo Brass, leaves Station Square to capture Sonic the Hedgehog. In the present, the team surrounds Sonic but is easily outmatched by the supersonic hedgehog. While Sonic brags about his skills, they manage to capture him with an electric net. As Sonic is loaded on to a helicopter, he spots a loose screw. When the chopper approaches Station Square, Sonic takes out most of the crew and busts out mid-flight. Using a piece of the helicopter as a board, he slides into the city and escapes briefly only to find himself being chased by a massive G.U.N. truck.
Shadow was later confronted by Sonic on Prison Island during his mission to steal six Chaos Emeralds with the assistance of Rouge the Bat. While he and Sonic fought in the forest, Eggman informed Shadow that he had set charges on the island and it was about to explode. Rouge then called in saying that she was trapped in the vault where the Chaos Emeralds where being held. Eggman merely told Shadow to meet him at the rendezvous point after the explosion, saying that they would dig the emeralds out of the ashes later. Sonic, overhearing this, proposed a temporary truce with Shadow in order to save Rouge. The two were successful in finding Rouge - with the emeralds - and Shadow teleported them all off of the island to Eggman's pyramid base using Chaos Control. Shadow then teleported away with the emeralds, leaving the two in the desert. Sonic and Rouge, realizing the danger of Eggman taking the emeralds aboard the ARK, broke into the base and stole a shuttle. Sonic eventually confronted Shadow, who planned to use the emeralds to activate the Eclipse Cannon as per Gerald's revenge.
Just after Shadow landed a Chaos Spear attack on Sonic, Rouge informed him via intercom that she'd found a video she believed Shadow needed to see. Thanks to the video, Shadow realized that he had been misled by false memories, and that Maria would have not wanted the planet destroyed. Shadow and Sonic went to recover the emeralds and found them in a shrine within the ARK; however, they were guarded by the failed Ultimate Lifeform Prototype, which would not allow Gerald's plans to go astray. The monster merged itself with the ARK's Eclipse Cannon using Chaos Control in order to crash the entire structure into the planet itself; in response, the two hedgehogs used the emeralds to transform into Super Sonic and Super Shadow. After they defeated the beast, they used Chaos Control to send the ARK back into orbit; Shadow, however, was so exhausted that he began to fall into space, seemingly lost when in fact was saved by the BEM.
Basically the adventure was more self-contain. only having Rouge, Eggman, Shadow and Sonic as the cast. also regardless of before or after, Sonic is fated to be chase by that massive GUN truck.
