History Funny / SonicGenerations

* Midway through the Reveal Trailer for ''Sonic X Shadow Generations'', part of the CG cinematic from the teaser trailer for the original ''Generations'' is shown with Modern Sonic jumping off a ramp and being joined by his Classic counterpart... which is where it takes a ''hard'' right turn away from the original trailer, as Shadow leaps between them in the opposite direction. While Modern Sonic is merely surprised by his DynamicEntry, poor Classic looks utterly ''befuddled'' at the presence of the dark doppelganger he's completely unfamiliar with at this point in his life.

* In the Reveal Trailer for ''Sonic X Shadow Generations'', we see the two Sonics through the air when Shadow leaps between them. Poor Classic looks befuddled as he’s knocked away.

** In what was perhaps the greatest example of SoundtrackDissonance ever, an unfortunately deleted video on Website/YouTube showed one player challenging the Shadow Rival Battle with [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogCD Palmtree Panic]][[labelnote:*]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbGLPqs9SeQ the JP/EU version]][[/labelnote]] as the BGM. Nothing quite destroys the intended mood of (a recreation of) [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 a very tense confrontation between Sonic and Shadow]] like a joyous chant of "YAY!" and applause, especially since it plays while Shadow is brooding and crossing his arms before the showdown begins.

* During the [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure Perfect Chaos]] boss fight, in Phase 2, if you land on a certain platform, Chaos will start charging up a laser, looks like he's about to fire it... and destroys your platform with his tentacle.

* In Classic Crisis City, there's a loop that moves the camera to practically behind Sonic as he goes through. It's a blatant reference to a loop in Palmtree Panic from ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogCD'' that has you do the same exact thing. That's right, they make a reference to a game about time travel in a level that is a reference to another game about time travel... and to top it all off, it happens [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment in a game about time travel]].
* While other characters just curiously look around once they are freed, Blaze leaps 10 feet into the air and lands gracefully on a pole. Why? No reason.

** The last part of the final boss. Both Sonics charge towards the Time Eater; when they're just close enough, it appears to prepare an attack, and they fly straight through its weak point before it can react.
* The newly-designed GUN truck. The fact that it featured new adjustments since last time to chase after Sonic, including ''rocket boosters'' to follow him up a side of a building. ''All just to catch one hedgehog'', in an over-the-top RoaringRampageOfRevenge. Only to wind up smacking into an alleyway once Sonic runs through it. The player can see the smoke plumes in the background before making their way to the goal.

* During the credits, the characters that appeared in the game all run across the bottom of the screen in a chibi art style. Strangely enough, Silver is nowhere in the line... He's actually far behind the group, desperately trying to keep up.

* The fact that damn fourth Chaos Emerald is guarded by [[AscendedMeme Shadow]]

* In Classic Crisis City, there's a loop that moves the camera to practically behind Sonic as he goes through. It's a blatant reference to a loop in Palmtree Panic from ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogCD'' that has you do the same exact thing. That's right, they make a reference to a game about time travel in a level that is a reference to another game about time travel... and to top it all off, it happens [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment In a game about time travel.]]

* More on a "what were the censors thinking" level, but the loading screen to the Modern Sonic Rouge friend mission labels her as The Temptress. How this wasn't another ''Sonic'' game that went out the door with an E10+, we're not sure.

* The [[http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/sonic-generations/achievement/58597-Look-Both-Ways.html "Look Both Ways" achievement]], which is most likely [[AscendedMeme a reference to a memetic]] ''Sonic '06'' quote:

-->'''Classic Sonic:'' *looks at his stomach and rubs it sadly*

* Classic Sonic's first attempt at an Air Dash/Homing Attack in the ending. Modern Sonic does it in an earlier cutscene and Classic Sonic was impressed by it.

--->'''Amy''': Wow, [[MeetYourEarlyInstallmentWeirdness you look younger every day]]! What's your secret?

--->'''Amy''': I was afraid I'd never be able to flirt with you again!

-->'''Knuckles''': Hey, did you gain weight?
-->'''Classic Sonic''': *looks at his stomach and rubs it sadly*

* Classic Sonic's first attempt at an Air Dash in the ending. Modern Sonic does it in an earlier cutscene and Classic Sonic was impressed by it.
* In the boss fight against Silver, he piles up a whole shitload of cars and debris to try and crush Sonic. Once he takes the final hit, Silver is immediately squashed by the entire pile.
** On the same note, Silver's entire reason for fighting you in the first place if you talk to him before the rival battle.
-->'''Silver''': Sonic, is that you? Or are you just a fake sent for the Chaos Emeralds?

** The fact that Sega pulled such a trollish stunt with arguably the most polarizing level in the game, given its source, also makes this a slight SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, just for how ballsy it was.
* Also a Crowning ''Music'' of Funny... The Super Sonic music starts off with the opening note to ''[[{{Leitmotif}} Live And Learn]]''... then immediately switches to a remix of the [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog4 Sonic 4]] Invincibility music. Listen for yourself [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKiQcKA9kmw&feature=feedu here]].

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhKhd5GX3LU final cutscene after the credits with Modern and Classic Eggman]].

** And then when Eggman begins talking, it's Classic Sonic that runs off — while Modern Sonic is so astounded by the fact that it ''wasn't'' a mirror, and that it was his past self, that he doesn't move for several seconds and winds up smacking into the door after it closes.

* In the gallery, the artwork 013 picture. You have a beautiful picture of Sky Sanctuary, expertly coloured. Then you have a rail... and a quick stickman-like doodle of Sonic, complete with arrow showing which way he's grinding.

* During the [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure Perfect Chaos]] boss fight, in phase 2, if you land on a certain platform, Chaos will start charging up a laser, looks like he's about to fire it... and destroys your platform with his tentacle.
* The Thunder Shield challenge in Classic City Escape. The GUN Truck is absent... [[OhCrap Then you hear it from somewhere]]. Go on ahead and you will find it [[TooDumbToLive trying to drive into a wall]].
* The cutscene after the Egg Dragoon battle, with Eggman declaring that he was supposed to beat Sonic this time, and Modern Sonic's retort that he always beats Eggman... And then turning to his past self & confirming that yes, they really do beat him every time, which leads to Classic Sonic breaking out in laughter.

** Also at the end, Amy throwing Knuckles into a tree for giving Sonic a [[NotBad half-hearted compliment]].

* There are race missions against Knuckles and Amy where you have to use some sort of gimmick (or your own skills) to beat them. While the race can be incredibly close through the majority of the stage, [[RubberBandAI Amy and ESPECIALLY Knuckles will slow down during their final dive for the goal to ensure that the end of the mission always looks close.]] While this doesn't seem that bad normally since you're probably tearing through the stage trying to get a good score anyway, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzt-DOBTBck if you decide to just STOP and look at them...]]

* At the end of the game, [[BrickJoke the chili dog that got whisked away at the beginning of the game comes back, and it's still warm]]. Modern Sonic chalks it up to time travel.

* During the credits, the characters that appeared in the game all run across the bottom of the screen in a chibi art style. Strangely enough, Silver is nowhere in the line... he's actually far behind the group, desperately trying to keep up.

* The fact that you can use unlockable music on any stage. ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0YFJlOHcik&t=15m Any]]'' stage.

--->'''Classic Dr. Eggman:''' Wow... Will I really get that crazy?
