I would say no? Gaslighting is when a person manipulates somebody else into questioning their reality or their memories. Characters are certainly lied to and misled in this movie, but not gaslighted.

No but Gerald Robotnik spanks Ivo, his grandson, for trying to stop him from destroying the world. It’s meant to be funny, and for me it is (and I was hit as a kid sometimes), but I can see how some people might at least need a heads-up that it happens. Gerald uses an upgraded hand rather than a belt or paddle.

There is no child abuse in this. An elderly man comically spanks a less elderly man. That's all I can think of why people would vote "yes"...

Shadow is sad about Maria dying. This is basically the same as in the games, so if you can handle that, you should be able to handle it here. Also, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles get injured a few times and are obviously not happy about it but this is typical. Furthermore, there is a scene where Tom gets injured badly, and all the animals (including Shadow, who is the one who hurt Tom) are upset about it. (More on Tom in another thing.)

In one "scary" sequence in the film where the characters split up in a dilapidated facility, Knuckles is walking alone when a pipe bursts behind him, then Shadow appears in front of him and says "boo". Next, as Tails and Agent Stone walk together, Shadow drifts into frame and scares them both. Then a little later, Sonic is observing the shattered tube that Shadow was once kept in, then Shadow attacks him from behind.

In the past, the military is shown being ready and willing to shoot two children, and are only stopped by the shot missing... and hitting a tank, killing one of the children anyway. They then imprison the other child with a cattle prod. In the present, GUN asks Team Sonic to solve their Shadow Problem without telling them the whole story, and once Walters dies, they actively become hostile to Team Sonic, thinking them responsible, and are an obstacle for the rest of the movie.

We do see Gerald being carted off to prison, and we see his (humorous) mugshot. Prison is mentioned, too. Furthermore, just as in the games, Shadow had been frozen in a tube for 50 years, which brings incarceration to mind but it’s not a one-to-one comparison, and it’s another case of “if you can handle the games you can handle the movie”.

It’s very brief but after Shadow had injured Tom there is a moment where Maddie is looking out the window of a hospital and you can see Tom in bed behind her. It’s important to note that Tom had been injured because Shadow hit him really hard, and Tom had to be carted off in an ambulance with breath support and such and there was a point where Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Maddie, and even Shadow were worried Tom might not make it, but Tom makes a good recovery by the end of the movie.

Same as in the games, Shadow starts off his journey through the present with violence, brought on by mental trauma related to Maria’s death. Also same-but-different, Gerald Robotnik is alive in the movieverse, which is a big change from the games, but his behavior is mostly the same. And, well…Ivo Robotnik, basically the same as before, though he is a bit softer in this movie. With that said, there is a good message, just as in the games, about not letting pain change who you are.

Gerald plans to blow up the Earth, with him and Shadow going out along with it. Shadow goes along with this plan until the last minute, when he and Sonic fight back. Gerald fights to maintain the plan but ends up being killed in a different way than anticipated. Shadow and Eggman then appear to sacrifice themselves, but at least one of them made it out alive.

There are also scenes where two characters seem to be doing a number of activities together that, it turns out, are actually simulated via VR. This is the kind of thing some people need to know about (not that the movie itself isn’t real, but that certain things happening in the movie aren’t, or things of that nature). So, if you’re one of these people who needs a heads-up, here it is. Everything from Eggmanland until just after Stone pours out the two coffees is not really happening to the characters. Other than that you should be fine.

In a change from the games, Maria seems pretty healthy during her time being alive. It’s possible she might have been sick and just not as obviously sick, but in Shadow’s memories, Maria is shown roller skating, dancing, riding a scooter, making a blanket fort, and doing other activities. She does look the same as she did in the games, and there is a scene with her wearing what looks to possibly be a hospital gown, and the scooter scene ends with her and Shadow crashing into a food cart and laying on the ground but they’re both happy and laughing (and again, both of them are laying down). Unlike in the games, she wasn’t living in space. However, just like the games, she was being cared for by Gerald in a research facility. Overall, my vote is “no”, but there is ambiguity.

Santa is not spoiled. It just shows the grandfather wearing a Santa suit for half a second during a montage, but nothing from that necessarily spoils Santa. My 8 year old who still believes in Santa was completely unfazed by this.

Bittersweet in some regards but mostly happy. You need to see the end credits scenes to tie up all loose ends, though.

[MAJOR SPOILERS] The Eclipse Canon is partially powered by nuclear energy so exploding it near Earth has the potential to be lethal so getting it far away from it is part of the climax. It still happens at a safe distance but only one person is seemingly killed
