Line 37:
----
* [[Aborted Arc]]: Johnny was supposed to gain a crush on Amy, but writer Nigel Kitching felt that it would end up taking up too much of the already-limited page space to develop. Similarly, the conclusion of the Agent X arc was meant to reveal {{spoiler|that Johnny genuinely ''had'' gone over to Robotnik's side after growing weary of years of fighting him. Lew Stringer, who wrote most of these stories, eventually decided against it; Johnny was Nigel's character and Lew felt it wouldn't be fair to turn him evil. Anyway, he eventually judged that Johnny was "too nice a guy" to do that.}}
Line 46:
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Eye variation: Once the ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'' adaptation came around, the only character with their game eye color was Sonic (and, in his case, it was due to a side effect of prolonged exposure to Chaos, so it's not his natural color). Amy and Tails both had brown eyes, as in the Genesis titles.
** For whatever reason, Knuckles has a metal ring around his neck instead of his trademark fur marking.
* [[Adaptational Villainy]]: Applied to both Chaos and Robotnik. Chaos is an evil Drakon villain with no sympathetic past in this comic, while in the games he witnessed the massacre of [[Ridiculously Cute Critter
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: Robotnik had his own one-shot comic strip a few times. Megadroid too.
* [[A God Am I]]: Dr. Robotnik in the ''Robotnik Reigns Supreme'' arc.
Line 56:
* [[Anthropomorphic Shift]]: Most noticeable in the case of Johnny Lightfoot and Porker Lewis, but in general all the animal people of Mobius start wearing more clothes and looking more human-like suddenly over the course of a few issues.
* [[Applied Phlebotinum]]: Many, but primarily the Chaos Emeralds.
* [[Ascended Extra
* [[Ascended Fanboy]]: Amy starts off as a fanatical fangirl of Sonic before being forced to join the Freedom Fighters for her own safety. This led to a series of events which saw her toughen up, gain a much more subtle respect for (and love of teasing) her hero and eventually become the leader of the Freedom Fighters in Sonic's absence.
** [[Demoted to Extra]]: Expect them from any animal friend that wasn't apart of the Freedom Fighters.
Line 124:
* [[Highly-Visible Ninja]]: In keeping with the games, Joe Musashi of the ''[[Shinobi]]'' stories was a ninja dressed all in white.
* [[Hive Mind]]: The Plax.
* [[Humans Are
* [[Human Resources]]: The use of characters as organic batteries for Robotnik's Badniks. In addition, Robotnik's plot during the buildup to issue #100 involved connecting the Emerald Hill Folk to a machine to form a gigantic [[Wetware CPU]].
* [[Humans Through Alien Eyes]]: Mobians are "aliens" to humans.
Line 154:
* [[Non-Standard Character Design]]: The strongly stylized Sega characters often contrast sharply with the designs of STC's original characters.
** Many of STC's animal characters have quite realistic animal faces and/or human proportions. This is often put into stark [[Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism|contrast]] - for example, Ebony the Cat is much taller than Super Sonic but has a much smaller head, while Vector sticks out like a sore thumb next to his scientist friends, who all wear clothes, and have more standard crocodile faces and human-like bodies.
** In addition to animals, STC is populated by a range of [[
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Sonic, whenever he's in the Special Zone and how he feels while in Shanazar.
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: Appeared to be the entire motivation of Knuckles' arch-enemy, the evil echidna [[Mad Scientist|Dr. Zachary]]. When he first appeared, he boasted of his plans to locate and destroy the other echidnas ''after'' he had destroyed Mobius as a warm up, and [[Card-Carrying Villain|quite happily acknowledges]] the fact that [[Ax Crazy|he's evil]].
Line 192:
* [[When All You Have Is a Hammer]]: Averted: Sonic's natural tendency is to just plow through his enemies with shear force and speed, but when faced with an enemy who this doesn't work against he tends to get more tactical and use his powers more creatively (grabbing hold of them and super-vibrating himself, creating cyclones with his speed, angling his attacks so that his momentum is transferred to the enemy, or timing the attack to strike at the point where the enemy is most vulnerable).
* [[We Want Our Jerk Back]]: They actually did this the other way around with Tails in one story. Inverted because he actually turned into a jerk and they wanted their [[Nice Guy]] back.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: After ''
* [[With Friends Like These...]]: The Chaotix Crew.
* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]] / [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: Super Sonic. So very much.
