Line 42:
* [[Escort Mission]]: Each game (even the edutainment one) has at least one, though in the original they are optional. They're also not ''too'' bad as escort missions go: in the Genesis games, your charges are invulnerable, and the ''Defender of the Future'' ones aren't killable. They're arguably not even true escort missions, since you don't have to protect them or even keep them in sight, they just follow you automatically and unerringly.
** ''Defender of the Future'' had an [[Game Breaking Bug|irritating glitch]] during the most difficult escort mission. You were meant to protect a dolphin so he could lead you to a door and open it for you. Sometimes after going through a short tunnel, he would manage to swim ''inside a rock'' on the other side and become stuck. Made irritating by the fact that a Power of Sonar gem would have made him obsolete anyway.
* [[Everything
* [[Floating Continent]]: In the Good Future of ''The Tides of Time''. The flying dolphins say they were "born of the great eruptions", whatever that means. A few also show up in the Hanging Waters level-set in ''Defender of the Future''.
* [[Friendly Playful Dolphin]]: The trope's at its most active in ''Ecco Jr.'', though some minigames in ''Defender of the Future'' show the dolphins' playful side. It's nearly absent from the original two games: Ecco's podmate challenges him to see how high he can jump at the start of ''Ecco the Dolphin'', but for the most part, the Singers are too concerned with surviving the Vortex assault to be very playful.
