Line 8:
Team Dark consists of Shadow, Rouge, and E-123 Omega. All three are after Eggman, but for different reasons. Rouge wants Eggman's secret treasure, Shadow is currently amnesiac after being frozen in suspended animation and wants answers from Eggman, and Omega wants to kill the doctor for demoting him to secret base security.
 
Team Rose consists of Amy, Cream--with her Chao friend Cheese--and Mr. Big. Big must once again find his missing pal Froggy, Cream wants to reunite Cheese with his brother [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome|Chocola]], and Amy, of course, wants to track down Sonic.
 
Team Chaotix consists of Espio, Charmy, and Vector. They are a group of detectives who are tasked with various missions from an unknown client that communicates with them via walkie-talkie. Vector and Charmy are eager to fulfill their client's tasks as they are promised a hefty cash reward; although skeptical, Espio is forced to join his comrades.
Line 19:
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[Actually a Doombot]]: Eggman, after you crash his Albatross. Once your back is turned, though, the robot melts and reforms into Metal Sonic.
* [[Airborne Aircraft Carrier]]: Egg Fleet and Final Fortress.
* [[All Your Powers Combined]]: {{spoiler|Metal Sonic}} spends the game scanning the heroes and gaining their powers: Sonic's speed, Tails's flight, Knuckles's strength, Shadow's Chaos powers, and (by way of proxies that have been in contact with him) Chaos's shapeshifting ability, manifested through metal instead of water.
Line 48:
* [[Cut and Paste Environments]]: All the Teams go through the exact same levels at the exact same times and fight {{spoiler|Metal Sonic disguised as}} Eggman in the exact same fights. While there are enough differences in the actual levels, the storyline is a giant [[Contrived Coincidence]].
* [[Death Mountain]]: Rail Canyon and Bullet Station.
* [[Double Standard Abuse (Female on Male)]]: The Team Rose vs Team Sonic boss has you (as Amy) beat Sonic up because he refuses her romantic advances. Granted, you also play as Sonic in the same situation, but the in-game dialog has Knuckles assume that it's Sonic's fault and the opening to the next level implies that Sonic ran away rather than fight back. Having a male hero try to force a woman into marriage would probably not be considered appropriate for an all-ages game, but with the genders reversed it's [[Played for Laughs]].
* [[Dreadful Musician|Dreadful Musicians]]: The Chaotix during their Team Blast.
* [[Egocentric Team Naming]]: Team Sonic and Team Rose. Averted by Team Dark and Team Chaotix.
* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]: {{spoiler|1=Metal Sonic. Surprisingly, its just [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iKTD-Lai1U Ryan Drummond's Sonic voice] given a robotic makeover.}}
* [[Fastball Special]]:
** The "Power" characters can pick up the other team members and perform this for their aerial attacks.
** Team Sonic's Team Blast, the Sonic Overdrive, has the teammates flinging each other over to the enemies close enough for Sonic to perform the Light Speed Attack..
Line 91 ⟶ 92:
* [[Power of Friendship]]: More like the '''real superpower of teamwork!'''
* [[Power Trio]]: All four teams.
* [[Real Life Relative]]: Subverted in English with the Corkery family: son William voices Tails, while his father Bill and sister Emily respectively voice [[True Companions|Chaotix members]] Espio and [[Cross-Dressing Voices|Charmy]].
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: {{spoiler|Super Sonic and Metal Sonic, whether it's the normal one, Neo Metal Sonic, or Metal Overlord.}}
* [[Rewrite]]: [[Word of God]] confirmed that this game did not bring back the Chaotix, but reinvented them for the game, meaning that ''[[Knuckles Chaotix]]'', their debut game, [[Canon Discontinuity|has been written out of]] the ''Sonic'' canon.
Line 105 ⟶ 106:
* [[There Can Only Be One]]: {{spoiler|[[Robot Me|Metal Sonic]]'s [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You|desire to beat Sonic]] [[Sanity Slippage|progressed]] into a full-on insanity in this game as he believed himself to be the ''real'' Sonic (all the while still acknowledging that [[Evil Knockoff|he was built with the purpose of defeating Sonic]]) with lines like, "No long time no see, Sonic, my loathsome copy" and "I am the ''real'' Sonic!"}} To a lesser extent, {{spoiler|Shadow's identity crisis is further compounded when he discovers a broken robotic copy of himself}}, although he doesn't say anything about it and it is instead {{spoiler|Rouge and Omega who briefly muse about the development at endgame.}}
* [[Title Drop]]:
** The beginning of Team Sonic's story when they get the "invitation" from Doctor Eggman. He starts the letter off by exclaiming, "Guess WHAT, Sonic Heroes?!"
** The ending when {{spoiler|Metal Overlord reverts back to Metal Sonic.}}
{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Metal Sonic''': "It's no use... why can't I defeat you?"}}
Line 123 ⟶ 124:
* [[We Can Rule Together]]: Of a sort. More like, I can rule, and you can benefit, but mostly an attempt to get out of skinflinting the Chaotix.
{{quote|'''Eggman:''' "When I conquer the world..." (''[[Large Ham|dramatic fist raise]]'') "'''I ''will'' PAY YOU!'''"}}
* [[Wolverine Publicity]]: The first stage, [[Palmtree Panic|Seaside]] [[Green Hill Zone|Hill]] has gotten a form of this, as it has appeared in ''[[Sega Superstars|Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing]]'', ''[[Mario and& Sonic Atat Thethe Olympic Games]]'', and as the representative of this game in ''[[Sonic Generations]]''.
