''Sonic Dreams Collection'' is a fan-game created by [[PostModernism Post-Modern]] developers Arcane Kids that poses as a series of four [[BlatantLies unreleased]] ''[[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic The Hedgehog]]'' games from 1996 to 1999 created by the fictional [[Music/MichaelJackson MJStudios.]] It includes a character creator, a prototype [=MMO=], a movie maker, and a DatingSim. There is also the additional SEGANET service that can be used to access online features on some of these games.

--> "This is my favorite story!" - Sonic

** Same for Sonic in ''My Roommate Sonic''. Not only does he have eerily humanoid-looking feet, but he also [[spoiler: traps you in a pocket dimention using a portal he created from his eyes]]. Yeah.

--> Sorry, daddy

** Eggman is portrayed as this in ''Eggman Origin''.
** Same for Sonic in ''My Roommate Sonic''.

* BrickJoke: In one scene of ''Sonic Movie Maker'', you can make Sonic eat Tails. If you do, this turns the end of the next scene — where Tails is the last thing he "gives birth" to — into one of these.

* SurpriseCreepy: Things get creepy pretty darn quick.

The game actually serves as a [[TakeThat parody]] of the Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog [[UnpleasableFanbase fandom]], which is infamous for a large amount of [[RuleThirtyFour sexual content]] and [[SturgeonsLaw poorly created fanwork]].

* SerialEscalation: ''Make My Sonic'' is a benign, if hilarious, character creator that can give many a chuckle due to its funny names and hilarious body type changes. ''Eggman Origin'' is basically a CosmicHorrorStory set in a WhiteVoidRoom, ''Sonic Movie Maker'' slowly descends into pure NightmareFuel as a SerialEscalation within a separate SerialEscalation, and ''My Roomate Sonic'' is at best a creepy DatingSim and at worst another CosmicHorrorStory that ends with you as a BalefulPolymorph. To say that this thing goes from 0 to 100 in the blink of an eye would be an understatement.

!!Tropes:

* CosmicHorrorStory: Whatever the hell the plot of ''Eggman Origin'' is. It starts with a birdlike version of your hedgehog searching for worms to feed the Eggbaby for the possibility of a "reward". It ends with the fully grown, limbless baby Eggman being raised to the sky on top of a giant Egg Capsule (which were originally prisons for your "animal friends", setting them free was the end goal of levels in games made before ''Sonic Adventure 2'') and then biting onto ''you'' when you climb the spiral steps, which results in your "ascension", by way of you losing your randomly generated Original Character Hedgehog forever, and turning back into Sonic.

* DownloadableContent: Played with. Completing ''My Roommate Sonic'' unlocks a "DLC level" in ''Sonic Movie Maker'' called "Roommates", which takes place on the ''My Roommmate Sonic'' set.

** Same for Sonic in ''My Roomate Sonic''.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The description for ''Sonic Movie Maker'' notes that the project was shut down by Sega executives after they learned about the "darker subplots".
* GainaxEnding:

* GameBreakingBug: Intentionally invoked. There is a glitch that makes it possible to hold objects beneath you, letting you jump to normally unreachable areas, and talk to secret "Eggmen". Fetching a glass pineapple from behind the set during the Prom portion of ''Sonic Movie Maker'' and then handing it to an Egg up on the rafters will allow the player to access a glitchy [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything blue-colored ball in any level. It randomly alters the dimensions of objects it touches, and can be used to deform the characters, access secret areas in some levels, and even screw up the player's controls.]]

* GuideDangIt: Accessing [=SegaNet=]. You have to ''check the game's files'' and look in a folder that is clearly marked as dangerous, find and run the EXE file, type in the hidden username and password, and keep it running while playing the game proper. It's the only way to truly access ''Eggman Origin'' (you have to upload an OC from ''Make My Sonic'' to [=SegaNet=] in order to have a player character for ''Origin'').

* LastNoteNightmare: The end of Eggman Origins (ie when you ascend) is the classic level fanfare playing an increasingly high rate.

* MisterSeahorse: What happens to Sonic in ''Sonic Movie Maker'', apparently after the scene where he gets force fed. He gives birth to a ring, a Chao, a Chaos Emerald, and ''Tails'', who you can [[BrickJoke feed to him in the previous scene.]]

* FantasticVoyagePlot: The "Crib" sequence in ''Sonic Movie Maker'', which has you start out somewhere inside Rouge The Bat's [[ArtisticLicenseBiology stomach/uterus]]. [[UpToEleven It only gets worse from there.]]

* AbsenteeActor: Knuckles the Echidna is nowhere to be found. One of the Readme files states, "We reached out to the voice actor for Knuckles but their agent told us to go away, [[SelfDeprecation we have no talent]], which I don't believe is true."
