Line 26:
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: Amy Rose got really pissed when she heard that Sonic was seen with a feline and only calmed down when told it wasn't like that.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: Dr. Eggman and Dr. Eggman Nega describe the Chaos and Sol Emeralds as being sort of a north and south pole to each other in the first game. In ''Adventure'', Sonic and Blaze describe it the same way after defeating {{spoiler|the very men who first described it that way}}.
* [[Continuity Snarl]]: This series says Blaze is from another dimension. ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 (video game)||Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)]]'' says she's from the future. [[Epileptic Trees]] tries to rectify this, with one theory stating that Blaze's world is really the future and she only ''thought'' she'd traveled to another dimension. With the release of ''Rush Adventure'', however, this viewpoint holds little ground, as that game goes into further detail about the nature of her world and makes it clear that it is indeed a parallel universe.
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Blaze
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: {{spoiler|Marine's power came out of nowhere.}}
Line 54:
* [[Pause Scumming]]: In the special stages, you control Sonic using the touchscreen. By moving the stylus across the screen, you move Sonic around to the left and right. The thing is, Sonic doesn't actually move towards where you're touching, he just instantly appears at any spot you touch. So if you're having trouble, you can pause the game, touch the area you want Sonic to be at, and unpause to have him appear there much faster than you would normally be able to move your hand.
* [[Rank Inflation]]: Both games embrace this trope like their 3D brothers, awarding you a lettered rank based on your score in an act/boss fight. The levels are, from best to worst, S, A, B, and C. Furthermore, in the second game, ranks also serve a purpose besides [[Bragging Rights Reward|bragging rights]]; the better your rank, the more of a mineral you'll get.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Dr. Eggman is loud and excitable. Eggman Nega is very [[Added Alliterative AppealAlliteration|calm, cunning and cruel.]]
** At first glance, in contrast to their actual colourscolors, Sonic seems like a good fit for Red Oni (passionate, adventurous) while Blaze seems to be the Blue Oni (stoic, loner). This dynamic, however, is completely shattered during the Dead Line Zone boss fight. {{spoiler|Blaze, with her temper finally at its limit, instigates the battle against Sonic, who originally had no intention of fighting her. Then, during the actual fight, Blaze is the one whose emotions explode while Sonic is the one who tries to calm her down.}}<br />The same occurs at the end of Rush Adventure, where Blaze, in a moment of desperation, nearly blindly runs headfirst into danger, and Sonic has to calm her down and make her see reason. The developers likely did this on purpose, to provide a nice contrast between the two protagonists: Sonic is the free and adventurous, yet level-headed and cool one, and Blaze is the outwardly stoic and blunt, yet inwardly highly emotional one.
* [[Remilitarized Zone]]: Huge Crisis in the first game is [[Hailfire Peaks|also part]] [[Eternal Engine]], while Pirates' Island from the second game mixes this with [[Ruins for Ruins Sake]].
* [[Ruins for Ruins Sake]]:
Line 75:
** On another note, the series itself is a [[Spiritual Successor]] of sorts to the [[Sonic Advance Trilogy]]; they are both 2D platformers for Nintendo handhelds.
** Currently, the Modern Sonic half of the 3DS ''[[Sonic Generations]]'' is structurally similar to the ''Rush'' games.
* [[Springy Spores]]: The bouncy mushrooms in Plant Kingdom.
* [[Steampunk]]: Machine Labyrinth in Adventure.
* [[The Stoic]]: Blaze, although [[Character Development|she does start to]] [[Just for Pun|warm up]] to Sonic and friends by the end of the first game, and grows an especially powerful bond with Cream the Rabbit.
