'''<big>Spinoff Titles</big>'''
* ''Amy's American Page One''
* ''[[
* ''Shadow Shoot''
* ''[[Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island]]''<ref>Also known as ''Sonic 3D Blast''</ref>
Line 231:
* [[Crosshair Aware]]
* [[Crossover]]: With the [[Mario]] franchise.
** [[Irony|Ironically]], the best-selling games with Sonic in them are ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]. Brawl'' and ''[[Mario and Sonic At The Olympic Games]]''.
** Sonic characters also crossover with other characters in the ''Tennis'' and ''All-Stars Racing'' installments of the ''[[Sega Superstars]]'' series.
* [[Cultural Translation]]: Subtle but still there. Some of the classic designs were changed a bit outside of Japan, in the official art. For example, Sonic was given a [http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/7990/designsonicvz2.png mohawk], his eyebrows became more expressive (which was carried onto Adventure everywhere), and he became slightly more built while Tails became [http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/1379/designtailsqc2.png more stereotypically cute] (chubbier, rounder, shorter snout, shorter fur, belly fur combed flat, etc) .
Line 377:
* [[Old Shame]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znt9k40nLN4 This] trailer showing clips of the various Sonic console games throughout the years, with Sonic himself looking pretty exasperated once they get to ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'' (around the time the critical backlash of the games began). Also, much more polished beta footage of ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 (video game)|'06]]'' is used, as well as only the daytime stages of ''[[Sonic Unleashed|Unleashed]]''. However, ''[[Sonic Storybook Series|Sonic and the Black Knight]]'' is completely omitted from the video, whilst it's predecessor, ''Sonic and the Secret Rings'' notably ''wasn't''.
* [[One-Hit-Point Wonder]]: Assuming they have no rings, every character would count as this, but this is not the case. Final Zone and Death Egg Zone in Sonic 1 and 2, respectively, have no rings whatsoever, effectively rendering Sonic a One Hit Point Wonder for the final confrontations. The Game Gear versions of Sonic 1 and 2 took this even further by offering no rings for ''any'' of the boss encounters.
* [[
* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: Many people don't remember that Tails' real name is [[Punny Name|Miles Prower]].
* [[The Other Darrin]]: The series have gone through a veritable revolving door of voice actors throughout the years, some more controversial than others. Tails, in particular, has gone through more voice actors switches than any other character. In both the English AND Japanese versions.
Line 458:
* [[Super Mode]]: For Sonic, Shadow, and Silver when they get all seven Chaos Emeralds, their [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|fur stands up]] [[Dragon Ball|and becomes golden]]. Admittedly, Yuji Naka actually is a fan of [[Dragon Ball]], and it had a big influence on Sonic.
* [[Super Speed]]: Sonic is the foremost example, but nearly every character in the series has some level of this, even ''Eggman''.
** Taken to the next level in the Movie where Metal Sonic is able to fly in and out of the atmosphere in seconds and both him and Sonic are able to get to distant parts of the world in very short amounts of time. [[Taken Up To Eleven]] in [[Sonic X]] where Sonic was able to ''outrun a lightning bolt'' in his base form.
* [[Super Strength]]: While it is usually power characters like Knuckles and Omega that have this emphasized, almost all characters have some level of it. In the movie and Sonic X even Sonic is capable of incredible feats of strength that would give game Knuckles pause.
* [[Team Rocket Wins]]: In ''Sonic Adventure 2'' this happens a couple of times. The destruction of Prison Island, the firing of the Eclipse Cannon and the scene where [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8t0WJTx5XM Sonic nearly dies].
* [[Temporary Platform]]: All over the place in numerous games.
