* The Blaze/Silver/Nega issue in the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' series. In ''[[Sonic Rush Series]]'', Blaze is from an alternate dimension. In ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 video game)|Sonic '06]]'' she is from the future (and seems out of character). Additionally, due to that fact she was from the future, she could be REAL version of Blaze, who isn't born until later. The other one DID come from an alternate universe...
** Later on, in the DS version of ''[[Sonic Colors|Colors]]'' (which may or may not be canon), Blaze appears alongside Silver during the third mission on Sweet Mountain with hints that these two have worked together in the past, making this most likely the '''06'' Blaze (who was Silver's best friend).
** And ''then'' there is ''[[Sonic Generations|Generations]]''. Blaze is first seen at Sonic's birthday party interacting with Cream and her in-game character profile notes that she's from another dimension, indicating that this is the same Blaze from ''Rush''. As a [[Continuity Nod]] ([[Reset Button|of sorts]]) to ''{{'}}06'', Blaze is found in Crisis City. Here's where things get wonky. After Sonic completes the Crisis City Act 2 mission "Blaze: Piercing the Flames", Blaze will remark, "I never thought I'd find myself in Crisis City again," bringing up the question of ''how'' exactly Blaze knew of a place that '''a)''' another version of herself visited and '''b)''' existed in a timeline that was ''erased from history''.
*** It was
** Additionally, both Silver and Eggman Nega (characters with prominent ties to Blaze, but connected to her by different games) are drawn into this snarl as well, as the two appear in the ''Rivals'' series--''sans'' Blaze. Here, Silver is still from the future, but Nega (established in ''Rush'' as Eggman's parallel self from the same dimension Blaze is from) is now a ''descendant'' of Eggman, embittered by how Eggman's failures have tarnished the family name in the future and is now an ''enemy'' of Eggman instead of working with him. Later on, Nega reappears in ''Rush Adventure'' and ''Rivals 2'' with the conflicting backstories of his appearances between ''Rush'' and ''Rivals''. It's implied that (due to '''06'' slamming down on the [[Reset Button]] until it ''cracked'') Silver now hails from the ''Rivals'' future and Blaze is from ''Rush'' (with no official word on Nega with his lack of appearances since), but Silver is still the Rival Battle for the Modern era of ''Generations'' (which takes place in Crisis City, no less) and {{spoiler|the ending of ''Generations'' has him and Blaze briefly chatting it up before everyone says their goodbyes to Classic Sonic and Tails.}}
* The [[Nintendo DS]] [[Updated Rerelease]] of ''[[Ace Attorney|Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney]]'' featured an extra, fifth case which takes place in between ''Ace Attorney'' and ''Justice For All'' {{spoiler|as evidenced by Maya still being away at Kurain Villiage training}} wherein Phoenix and Edgeworth work together to assist Ema and Lana Skye in their legal case. However, when Edgeworth reappears in Justice For All's fourth and final case, Phoenix claims not to have seen him since {{spoiler|the fourth case of Ace Attorney where Miles was accused of murder}} and Edgeworth supports this by claiming to have left the country right after said events; neither of them seeming to remember their work together on the Skye trial. This could simply be explained away as a case of [[Canon Discontinuity]] by stating that the fifth case of Ace Attorney never really happened in the series proper, due to it being an addition for the remake. But, Ema is integrated with the official continuity in [[Fan Nickname|the Apollo Justice arc]] by having her appear and explain Wright's involvement with her sister's case, thus making Phoenix's and Edgeworth's reactions to each other in Justice for All seem odd in retrospect.
