History VideoGame / SonicExeOneMoreSaga

* {{Jumpscare}}: Surprisingly rare for a game like this, [[spoiler:but if you press Escape one too many times on the Sonic.EXE GameOver screen in all three instalments, OMT will jumpscare the player in response before crashing the game.]]

* TimeLimit: A common staple for a Sonic fangame, though if Tails waits it out in the normal Green Hill Zone for the whole 10 minutes, OMT will simply show up and kill him anyway, somewhat annoyed at the player for keeping him waiting.

* EldritchAbomination: And how! Taking many cues from Gorefield, Sonic.OMT not only utilises the schtick of being a murderer, but is able to shapeshift into many eldritch appearances to stalk and kill his victims.

* TakeThat: One of the minigames introduced in the "100% REAL" demo is a prod at fans begging for the Eggman Demo of the game.

* TheCameo:
** In the first variant of Hill Act 1 in ''One More Round'' and ''One Last Round'', Luigikid can be found on top of the wall with the S-tunnel.
** In ''One Last Round's'' Hide and Seek level, [[VideoGame/SonicEyx Draenog]] can be found in a hidden area.
** Fatal Error is in a hidden area of You Can't Run, and will crash the game soon upon finding him.
** Another hidden area of You Can't Run houses the AuthorAvatar of Mr Pixel himself. ...at least, if you don't go too far along the path first.
** The antagonist of One Last Round-inspired fangame, ''Sonic.RIBS'', can be seen in FFFFF Zone on a hidden path, though, compared to the other cameos so far, he can't be interacted with by Knuckles.
** In ''I Will Find You'', [=L0CK0N=]_DR1VE can be found after going up a short elevators section, or by climbing the wall next to it. Upon being discovered, he will cause red static to cover the screen three times - two of those times being broken up by a mysterious photo.
** In the background of Metal Sonic's level, near the beginning, a monitor displays the AuthorAvatar of OMT's voice actor, [=KGBepis=], in the same EXE eye vein, with text asking "Who is he?".
** [[VideoGame/SonicPcPort Lord X himself]] shows up in the game during Eggman's section, inviting players to join his world, where the fun supposedly never ends.

** Another area in the same level houses a small funhouse-like area, with a framed picture of a clown-like EXE known as Steve in the background.
** During Cream's forest level, [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogCD Majin Sonic]] can briefly be seen amidst the trees.
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: After killing a victim, Sonic.OMT will almost always turn his head towards the screen before letting out his signature laugh.
** An in-universe example also happens if Metal Sonic is destroyed before surviving his level, with Sonic.OMT literally coming out of Robotnik's monitor and killing him through it.
** Naturally, Lord X, in his Easter egg, turns towards the screen while addressing the player, knowing he can't get them while he's not in his world, but still offering the opportunity to people.

* BerserkButton: Wasting his time in the Green Hill segment leads to him going the simple route of snapping Tails' neck after ten minutes have passed while [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness an angry grimace is on his face]] rather than the usual SlasherSmile he has and managing to escape him in Angel Island leads to him shoving Tails' face into the lava of Lava Reef zone as punishment for breaking his rules.

** Fatal Error is on a hidden area of You Can't Run, and will crash the game soon upon finding him.

** In the background of Metal Sonic's level, near the beginning, a monitor displays a strange character in the same EXE eye vein, with text asking "Who is he?".

** Another area in the same level houses a small funhouse-like area, with a framed picture of a clown-like EXE in the background.

* SpidersAreScary / SnakesAreSinister / GruesomeGoat: This comes in full force for the chase in "Abandoned Zone" and "I Will Find You", with OMT taking on the form of a spider and a serpent respectively to relentlessly chase Tails and Knuckles. The last of these tropes applies towards Robotnik, though OMT's goat-like form only stalks the doctor when he's entering passwords by the time things go really far off the deep end, meaning the player must enter said passwords quickly to escape.

* AnArmAndALeg: The Sandopolis level has Knuckles's leg left dangling for that whole stage. [[DownplayedTrope While he can still move about as normal,]] this is a form of CruelMercy on Sonic.OMT's part.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: At different points in Eggman's major level in ''One Last Round'', there are elevators that need passwords to activate. Thankfully, the passwords are always pasted on the top-right of the monitors, and only the correct letter is registered for each part of the password, meaning players don't have to worry about accidental typos.
