* [[Abusive Precursors]]: The ancient Echidnas. {{spoiler|They attacked the adorable and innocent Chao, and, although unknowingly, [[Awakening the Sleeping Giant]], Chaos, an innocent god, just to steal his Chaos Emeralds. They created countless unstoppable robots in order to conquer the world. Both of which had to be sealed thus handing down the problem to us. In ''[[Sonic Chronicles]]'', one clan of Echidnas return and try to conquer our world again.}} Which pushes them past just being [[Neglectful Precursors]].

* [[Added Alliterative Appeal]]: Some games, such as [[Sega Sonic the Hedgehog|SegaSonic]], [[Sonic the Hedgehog CD|CD]], [[Knuckles Chaotix|Chaotix]] and [[Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island|3D Blast]] use alliterative names for all levels.

* [[All There in the Manual]]: Among Sonic's various, obscure, [[Multiple Choice Past|contradicting origin stories]] is that he was born on [[Australia (continent)|Christmas Island]], and that he gained his speed from an experiment with [[Sdrawkcab Name|Dr. Kintobor]].

* [[Informed Flaw]]: Eggman is no doubt fat, but it's often said to be from overeating, and we have only seen him actually eat once. Then again, he took down a twelve inch sandwich in two bites during that one instance, so this has some merit.

* [[Insult Backfire]]: Outside of Japan, Robotnik's "Eggman" name was first used by Sonic as an insult in the original ''Sonic Adventure'', and Robotnik promptly corrected him that his name was Robotnik, not Eggman. By ''Sonic Adventure 2'', he's embraced the nickname, presumably because he wanted to use the name "[[Added Alliterative Appeal|Eggman Empire]]". {{spoiler|Or maybe he embraced it earlier than that, considering he uses it as password on board the Egg Carrier in the first ''Adventure'' game}}.
