Sonic Storybook Series: Difference between revisions

* [[Continuity Nod]]: When Merlina calls Sonic to her world, {{spoiler|she uses the same spell that Erazor did when summoning the Ifrit,}} albeit very slightly modified. It's quite weird, given that {{spoiler|[[Hilarious in Hindsight|the spell in question roughly translates to "Satan Arrive!".]] Our Hero, ladies and gentlemen!}}

** Sonic sure [[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog|loves]] [[Sonic the Hedgehog (TV)|them]] [[Sonic Underground|Chilidogs]].

* [[Exposition Fairy]]: Shahra and Caliburn.

* [[Furry Confusion]]

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: {{spoiler|The item Shahra gives Sonic after gaining the World Ring in Levitated Ruin turns out to be Erazor's lamp, which he turns on him in the ending.}}

* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Darkspine Sonic. Whilst his appearance gives off vibes of great evil (Purple-Indigo color scheme, [[No Mouth]], blank pupil-less [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]), this definitely isn't the case regarding his personality and actions. Whilst undoubtedly vicious, Darkspine is also palpably dependent on Shahra.

* [[Excited Episode Title]]: Used for the minigames.

* [[Fire of Comfort]]: Sonic's (Presumed) house has a pretty comfortable-looking fireplace.

* [[Fog Feet]]: Shahra appears like this for most of the opening cutscene.

** Then again, all he wears under normal circumstances is his trademark gloves and shoes.

** Besides, it's not like he's actually drawn [[Barbie Doll Anatomy|with any visible genitalia.]]

* [[Gang Plank Galleon]]: Pirate Storm.

* [[Genie in A Bottle]]

* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: {{spoiler|Sonic painfully inflicting wishes upon Erazor, as well as sealing him away in his lamp forever would come off as [[What the Hell, Hero?|chilling]] (especially in comparison to his treatment of [[Sonic Adventure Series|Chaos]]) [[Kick the Son of A Bitch|if Erazor hadn't been established as a truly evil being throughout the game]].}}

* [[Good Morning, Crono]]: Happens at the beginning with Shahra trying to wake up Sonic. Give the poor guy credit, though; it was 2:55 in the morning!

* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: The "Sonic Faceplanting" [[Running Gag]] appears to have been played with in the cutscene before entering Night Palace. Sonic comes ''this close'' to kissing the floor, but corrects himself in the nick of time, most likely for the sake of [[Rule of Cool|Rule of Cool.]]

* [[Lethal Lava Land]]: Evil Foundry.

* [[Literal Genie]]: Shahra is actually this, as shown by Sonic's first and third wish. It's less noticeable because Sonic is probably [[Genre Savvy]], and definitely doesn't care.

* [[MacGuffin Delivery Service]]

* [[Let's Play]]: By [[Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 Let's Play|pokecapn, medibot, Kung Fu Jesus, and IlluminatusVespucci]]. There's also one by [[Hellfire Commentaries]].

* [[The Middle Ages]]

* [[Mythology Gag]]: When you are on the character select screen right before starting a level in one-player mode, Sonic's thumbs-up pose looks very similar to his official render in ''[[Super Smash Bros|Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

* [[Noob Bridge]]: The Will-O-Wisps are glowing blue orbs of energy that explode and can hurt you when hit. You're supposed to use the "kick" mechanic to kick them into things. Thing is, that mechanic is only really used twice in the main game, and those instances are easy to miss, so you might not even know you can when you find the Wisps much more often in the post-game.

* [[Pimped-Out Dress]]: Amy's dress as the Lady of the Lake.

* [[Pop Star Composer]]: Frickin' ''Marty Friedman from [[Megadeth (Music)|Megadeth]]'' does the guitar work for the final boss theme.

* [[Reverse Grip]]: How Shadow/Lancelot prefers to wield.

* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: King Arthur, {{spoiler|both the fake and the genuine article, ''Sonic the Hedgehog''.}}

* [[Sequel Difficulty Drop]]: Present, due to not having to unlock basic maneuvers.

* [[Smug Snake]]: {{spoiler|Merlina.}}
