''Sonic Heroes'' is a video game in the ''[[
Team Sonic consists of Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. They get a letter from Dr. Eggman in which the evil doctor boasts that he has created the ultimate weapon to [[Take Over the World]], and tells the trio that they have three days to stop him from launching it.
Line 12:
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.
The game's reviews were rather mixed, but mostly positive, with the [[Game Cube]] version getting the highest overall scores, and the [[Play Station 2]] version getting [[Porting Disaster|the lowest]]. Fans and critics alike praised all of the [[Shout-Out|callbacks]] to previous games and the return of Special Stages, but criticised the requirement of team-ups, the light-hearted storyline (which is rather ironic as later games would be called out for their complicated plots), and retaining some of the 3D problems of ''[[
Was later followed up by a semi-sequel called ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog (
A teamwork gimmick would also be used in ''[[Sonic Advance Trilogy

Line 37:
* [[Continuing Is Painful]]: Losing a life results in not only losing all your points, but it also resets your level-ups, making whatever killed you before more likely to kill you again.
* [[Continuity Nod]]:
** [[Sonic Adventure
** [[Sonic Adventure
** [[Sonic Adventure 2
** [[Sonic Adventure
** [[Sonic Adventure
** [[Sonic Adventure 2
** [[Sonic 3 and Knuckles
* [[Costume Copycat]]: {{spoiler|Metal Sonic disguising as Eggman through the entire game, while the real one is locked up and gives orders to Team Chaotix.}}
** {{spoiler|Also, presumably the "Sonic" seen in the newspaper article that kicked off Team Rose's quest was also Metal Sonic in disguise.}}
Line 66:
* [[Jungle Japes]]: Frog Forest and Lost Jungle.
* [[Kung Fu-Proof Mook]]: Shiny mooks that only power characters can damage (such as the giant mooks).
* [[Leaning
* [[Let's You and Him Fight]]: Tons of it. Let's put it this way: all the teams are technically on the same side, but they continually fight each other for petty reasons and misunderstandings throughout the game anyways. This is especially noticeable with Team Dark, who kept attacking people just in case their opponents might have saved the day before they could for their own reasons.
* [[Levels Take Flight]]: Egg Fleet and Final Fortress. The former involves the player hopping from airship to airship as they gradually tear through Eggman's aerial armada before landing on his flagship.
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: In comparison to ''[[
* [[Limit Break]]: Hitting enough enemies increases a power meter that allows you to use a Team Blast.
* [[Loud of War]]: Team Chaotix's blast uses their horrible singing to cause the robots in their radius to explode.
Line 77:
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: The dark tone of the Last Story in contrast to the generally [[Lighter and Softer]] feel of the rest of the game.
* [[Multi Mook Melee]]/[[Wolfpack Boss]]: The boss battles following Bingo Highway and Mystic Mansion are this.
* [[Multi Platform]]: The fact that the game was being released for all three of the then-current gen consoles was a major selling point. The [[
* [[Musical Nod]]: The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTj9XD9sds4 "upside down" theme to Hang Castle] is composed almost entirely of an ambient remix of a riff from ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Later Team Dark stages.
** And the optional [[Exactly What It Says
** Even the Hero stages (which is what a lot of newcomers are going to play automatically, this being a ''Sonic'' game) are rather difficult when they rely mostly on rails. The broken camera and controls brought over from the ''Sonic Adventure'' series aren't really helping, either.
* [[Not Me This Time]]: {{spoiler|Throughout the story, all of the teams pursue Eggman when he unleashes the Egg Fleet to conquer the world. However, it is later revealed in the endings that not only is Eggman, for once, not responsible for the world domination plan, but in fact he was locked up by the one actually responsible: Metal Sonic.}}
Line 95:
* [[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 Dis Continuity|has been written out of]] the ''Sonic'' canon.
* [[Scenery Porn]]: In true ''Sonic'' tradition.
* [[Shout-Out]]: {{spoiler|Metal Sonic}} mimics the liquid metal shtick of ''[[Terminator (
* [[Story Arc]]: Team Dark's story continues the story of Shadow the Hedgehog that was introduced in ''[[
* [[The Spiny]]: One of the Egg Flappers sprouts red spikes every few seconds to make itself Homing Attack proof.
* [[Stock Subtitle]]: "Heroes."
Line 109:
{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Metal Sonic''': "It's no use... why can't I defeat you?"}}<br />
{{spoiler|'''Sonic''': "Because we're Sonic Heroes."}} }}
* [[Tomato in
* [[Tomorrowland]]: Grand Metropolis and Power Plant.
* [[Totally Radical]]: Sonic and Knuckles dip into this on occasion with lines like "That was tight!" and "Too cool!" It makes sense for Sonic, to an extent, but Knuckles? Not so much.
Line 123:
* [[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
