''Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood'' (2008) is a RPG [[Spin-Off]] from the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]] franchise'', developed by none other than [[
A year or so after Eggman's latest defeat, the doctor is still missing in action, and is presumed dead. The peace doesn't last very long, though, as Sonic receives a call from Tails explaining that Knuckles has been kidnapped by a mysterious new group named the Marauders, who have also stolen all the Chaos Emeralds. Sonic then teams up with Tails, Amy, and Rouge in order to rescue Knuckles.
Line 18:
* [[Chekhov's Boomerang]] - Emerl was picked up from ''Sonic Battle'', dusted off, and woven into the Nocturnus' history.
* [[Canon Dis Continuity]] - [[Word of God]] states that this game is not canon in any way.
* [[Canon Immigrant]] - The Swatbots from the [[Sonic
** According to [[Word of God]], the ''entire game'' was a [[Canon Immigrant]], specifically of Knuckles' [[Sonic the Hedgehog (
* [[Can't Catch Up]] - Averted by giving earned experience points to everyone, whether they're in your party, back at the safehouse, [[Leaked Experience|and even the characters that haven't met you yet]].
* [[Can't Drop the Hero]]
Line 28:
** [[Continuity Porn]] - The game makes a ''huge'' point to tie itself in with most of the games of the series.
** [[Continuity Snarl]] - ...But falls flat because it gets ''a lot'' of details wrong.
* [[Cowboy Bebop
* [[Darker and Edgier]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]] - Rouge
Line 39:
* {{spoiler|[[Eleventh-Hour Superpower]] - Super Sonic, as always.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Enemy Mine]] - subverted}}
* [[Expy]] - Shade is pretty clearly an expy of [[Sonic the Hedgehog (
** There's even an expied ''area'' with the Twilight Cage. Bioware admittedly just took Archie's echidna history and adapted it to the games.
* [[Evil Albino]] - Imperator Ix
* [[Evil Overlord]] - Imperator Ix
* [[Evil Versus Evil]]- The backstory gives us {{spoiler|the tyrannical, fascist <s>dictator</s> Imperator Ix vs the selfish, greedy and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|poor parent]] [[Sonic Adventure
* [[Fastball Special]] - Rather common in Sonic's special attacks.
* [[Final Exam Boss]] - The last battle with Ix tests to see how good you are with the Action Commands. And the one right before it checks your skill at the fleeing/catch-the-fleeing-enemies minigame.
Line 63:
* [[Hive Mind]] - The Voxai.
* [[Jack of All Stats]]: Amy.
* [[Knight Templar]]: Though Shade believes she is doing good and merely helping her kind reach home, she is willing to follow through with Ix's rather brutal strategies of doing so without question. She does not flicker an eyelid at his squad invading innocent civilians or brutally ambushing Sonic and Knuckles {{spoiler|[[Not What I Signed
** A [[Hannibal Lecture]] by Ix later in the game suggests him to be a [[Knight Templar]] himself, claiming he intends to make the world a better place {{spoiler|by conquering it of course.}}
** Near the end of the game, Knuckles confesses that he's worried ''Sonic'' might be this towards the Nocturnus Clan, leading Knuckles to give Ix a [[Last Second Chance]] before Sonic can get there.
Line 71:
* [[Lost Forever]] - Due to the multiple [[Point of No Return|Points Of No Return]], almost everything. Most notably, both [[Optional Party Member|Optional Party Members]] and a lot of rings.
* [[Mass Teleportation]] - Any civilization that ended up in the Twilight Cage.
* [[Mecha
* [[Mighty Glacier]] - Omega and Knuckles.
* [[Mythology Gag]] - Sort of. The game uses a ''lot'' of plot threads that [[Aborted Arc|Sega discarded or forgot about]], especially from ''Sonic Battle''. And then there's plenty of actual franchise references.
Line 87:
* [[Required Party Member]] - Often, especially when the team splits up.
* [[Scylla and Charybdis]] - The names of two locations as well as two robot guardians.
* [[Shout-Out]] - A few to the [[Sonic
** And speaking of ''[[Star Wars]]'':
{{quote| '''Eggman:''' Inter-dimensional travel isn't like dusting crops, boy!}}
** One of the sidequests in Chapter Three has you retrieve a man's prized stapler. [[Office Space|The stapler in question is bright red.]]
** The whole concept of a still-living echidna race, exiled to the Twilight Cage, sounds like what the Archie Comics did with their echidna race first.
** One of Sonic's POW moves is called "[[Mega Man (
* [[Snake Talk]] - The N'rrgal Colony.
* [[Space Pirate]] - In a sidequest, with [[Talk Like a Pirate]] epically mocked by Rouge.
Line 101:
* [[Stone Wall]] - Big.
* [[There Is Another]] - {{spoiler|There's an entire clan of echidnas that were exiled to the Twilight Cage long ago.}}
* [[Timmy in
* [[Took a Level In Jerkass]] - Sonic. Especially when the more snarky dialogue choices are taken.
* [[Two Lines, No Waiting]] - Done twice, in Chapters in 5 and 10.
