Another Side, Another Story: Difference between revisions

** It could be argued that the first game in the Sonic series to do this was ''[[Sonic 3 and Knuckles]]''. Playing as Knuckles would present different level designs and a slightly different story, and it would even let you play as Knuckles in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2]]''.

*** The trope is subverted in this case: Knuckles' story takes place not during Sonic's story, but after: the Death Egg and Eggman are no longer on the island (the one Eggman's appearance in Flying Battery Zone is actually an oversight because he has different sprites in that encounter), the ghosts are unleashed in the pyramid during Sonic's game, but are present from the start in Knuckles' game, and while in Sonic's game the Angel Island is at sea level and only raises in the sky at the end of the game, it's always flying in Knuckles' game. Not to mention that Sonic and Knuckles settle their differences towards the end of Sonic's game, they seem friends at the end of Knuckles' game despite not having met during the game. Oh, and that at the end of Sonic's story the main villain in Knuckles's story appears as [[The Stinger]].

* ''[[Lego Adaptation Game|Lego]] [[Batman]]'' allows you to play an episode as the villains after completing it with Batman, showing how they broke into these places and put their nefarious schemes into place before the Dark Knight interfered. The game counts these as separate levels with their own sets of collectibles necessary for [[One Hundred Percent Completion]].

* ''[[Noitu Love]] 2: Devolution'' lets you play as {{spoiler|Rilo Doppelori}} after you beat the game once, and Mr. Almond after beating it with {{spoiler|Rilo}}, although he doesn't have a unique take on the plot like {{spoiler|Rilo}} does.
