ah, gotcha. that is a good question... could be that his ability to fly at higher altitudes had been put out of commission temporarily, during his fight with shadow? after all, he didnt have any of the chaos emeralds yet, so its not like he was the unstoppable force that he would later become in mixup. so it's totally possible that he was vulnerable enough at the time to be damaged in that way.

kind of explains his desire for power a bit, doesnt it?
