** ''[[Sonic Chronicles]]'' then takes place two years after the last game of the series. However its ending {{spoiler|has Robotnik take over the world.}} This doesn't sit well with the next game in the series, ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]''.
*** Unless that's the reason Sonic is trashing an Eggman armada at the start of Unleashed.
** In ''[[Sonic Battle]]'', Shadow has his memory back, or at least remembers the events of ''Sonic Adventure 2''. ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'' contradicts this, with Shadow having contracted amnesia thanks to his fall at the end of ''SA2'' ([[Laser-Guided Amnesia|and maybe some other factors]]) and he still doesn't have memory of ''SA2''{{'}}s events by the end of ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog]]'', making ''Battle''{{'}}s place in continuity very iffy.
*** Are you sure? IIRC, he was pretty well-informed by the end of ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog]]''.
*** ''Battle'' occurs after ''Shadow'' (as Shadow clearly remembers his past) but was released slightly before ''Heroes''. Where it falls into the overall timeline is unknown, but it is referenced heavily in ''Chronicles''.
Line 133:
* ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]'' was written with each story assumed to be the last (as admitted by the author) so as such several of the later ones answer questions rather then continuing the story. As such The Magician's Nephew was written and published 6th but takes place first. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe which was first is second. A horse and His Boy was written fourth, published fifth, and set during a timeskip in LW&W. Though with those three sorted out the rest follow order of publication: Prince Caspian (Which is set centuries after LW&W), Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Silver Chair, and Last Battle. Plus in world the time shifts because Narnia is a parallel world not perfectly synced with ours.
* ''[[The Scorpion King]]'' is a prequel to ''[[The Mummy Trilogy]]'', the second film of which introduced the scorpion king and showed his final fate. They then made ''The Scorpion King 2'', which was a prequel to the prequel. There are also plans for ''The Scorpion King 3'' which will be a sequel to the prequel of the prequel.
* The "[[Road To|Road Pictures]]" of [[Bob Hope]] and [[Bing Crosby]]. Hope, Crosby and [[Dorothy Lamour]] play different characters with different names in each, and at least one is set in a wildly different time period, but they all have the same cast, the same style of madcap humor, substantially the same cast, and much the same formula. It is common for there to be references to their past adventures, albeit usually during one of the many instances of [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]].
* ''[[Kamen Rider Agito]]'' explicitly takes place in the same universe as ''[[Kamen Rider Kuuga]]''; the only on-screen references to this are a couple of off-hand mentions of the Grongi (Kuuga's enemies) and the G3 suit being built by the police based off of data taken on "Unidentified Lifeform #4" (the Tokyo Police's callname for Kuuga). There was also said to be a [[Great Ofscreen War]] where the Grongi were killed off by the Lords, Agito's enemies.
** This all gets referenced in ''[[Kamen Rider Decade]]'', where the [[Alternate Universe]] Agito World they visit is also an alternate Kuuga World, with the [[Great Offscreen War]] actively happening and an alternate version of Decade!Kuuga's [[Cool Big Sis]] mentor showing up as the head scientist behind the G3 Project.
