* AmbiguousSituation: The Harry Potter episode puts the entirety of the Mario episode under this. One of the wizards controlling Harry Potter transformed someone in the Mario that is depicted in the Mario episode. This puts a lot of questions: are Mario's actions in his episode on purpose? Or is he actually brainwashed by the evil wizard trio? [[TomatoInTheMirror Is he even the real Mario]]?

* DeathWorld: The Cuphead world is an exaggerated version of this, as people can't even step through the gateway leading to it without bursting into flames or being turned into ChunkySalsa. The only survivors are Cuphead and Mugman themselves, and even they were permanently altered from the experience.

* AdaptationalVillainy: A lot of characters are given this treatment in this series. Mario, Tails, Cuphead and Mugman are the prime examples.

to:

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: The ''Mega Man'' episode gives this to both Dr. Light and especially Dr. Wily in spades. Wily was a loving family man who was more MarriedToTheJob and thus wasn't able to spend much time with his son Rock, up until Rock died from falling into a {{Bottomless Pit}} and Wily vowed to find a way to save him. His depression would soon cause financial trouble for his and Light's company, forcing Light to strike a deal with [[Franchise/StreetFighter Shadaloo]] to build weapons for them. Wily was initially outraged at the idea, but Light was able to convince him to agree by implying that these weapons could help save his son. However, after a demonstration of the Mega Suit GoneHorriblyWrong, Light began [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone to regret his choices]] and recover a now amnesiac Rock to raise as his own son, enraging a now vengeful Wily.
* AdaptationalVillainy: A lot of characters are given this treatment in this series. Mario, Tails, [[DiabolicalMastermind Mario]], [[{{Yandere}} Tails]], [[WasOnceAMan Cuphead and Mugman Mugman]] are the prime examples.



* CrossoverShip: Mega Man is depicted as once being the son of Wily and Symmetra.
* EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether: Dr. Light and Wily were classmates with [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Dr. Eggman]], [[VideoGame/CrashBandicoot Neo Cortex]], [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Professor Oak]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Dr. Hojo]], [[VideoGame/Wolfenstein3D Dr. Schabbs]], and [[VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} Symmetra]], with [[Franchise/DragonBall Dr. Gero]] as their teacher.



%% TragicVillain: Wily is depicted as this in Case 05.

to:

%% * TragicVillain: Wily is depicted as this in Case 05.05. His son, the future Mega Man, was clinging on by a thread after a serious accident, which also caused the departure of [[VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} his wife Symmetra]] and later Doctor Light allying with [[Franchise/StreetFighter M. Bison]]. The trauma of nearly losing his son would cause Wily to become the vengeful MadScientist we all know him as, but with a much sadder twist.
-->'''Wily:''' (after watching Light's testimony) My son. MY SON?! Oh, you were always an idiot! [[IHaveNoSon That blue abomination is no son of mine!]] No Thomas, [[OutlivingOnesOffspring my son has been dead for years.]] You made sure of that. But I won't stop until he can rest, once and for all! (sobs loudly as his Robot Masters activate and a pair of Mets march away, only for the crying to turn into an EvilLaugh)



* WasOnceAMan: Cuphead and Mugman. Originally, they were Area 51 soldiers who were guarding a portal that was designed for interdimensional travel. After travelling through said portal, they ended up in Inkwell Isle, where they transformed into Cuphead and Mugman. While every test subject who went through the portal died as soon as they entered Inkwell Isle, Cuphead and Mugman were spared due to the Devil seeing potential in them as his minions.
* WingdingEyes: Mr Sega's pupils are stylised S's similar to the S in Sega's (the company) name.

* BreakoutCharacter: When thinking of this series, most viewers agree that Tails is the most memorable part for being an AxCrazy CrazyJealousGuy {{Yandere}}. He would eventually reappear in another video and star in his own StoryArc, something no other incarnation of any character from this series could accomplish.



* InsaneTrollLogic: When Sonic states that he and Tails were never best friends, Tails rationalises that if he is Sonic's best friend and that he's not Sonic's best friend then that means Sonic isn't the real Sonic.

!Tropes:
* AdaptationalVillainy: A lot of characters are given this treatment in this series. Mario, Tails, Cuphead and Mugman are the prime examples.
%% AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Invoked as the point of this web series.
* AssShove: In Case 01, where Mario executes Sonic by firing a Bullet Bill behind him. And what Harry does to Malfoy with a Snitch...
* AxCrazy: '''TAILS''', full stop. From the ways he murders anyone who gets too close to Sonic to the deranged faces he makes everytime he's onscreen, this Tails is a ''far cry'' from the beloved sidekick of Sonic.
* FantasticRacism: Parodied during Case 04 in which an interview Goro unintentionally offends a ninja who was with him in an dark room. [[spoiler: Turns it it's Noob Saibot, who's completely pitch black.]]
* InsaneTrollLogic: When Sonic states that he and Tails were never best friends, Tails rationalises that if he is Sonic's best friend and that he's not Sonic's best friend then that means Sonic isn't the real Sonic.
--> '''Tails''': That's it. I get it now. If Tails is ''Sonic's'' best friend, and I'm not ''your'' best friend... then YOU AREN'T SONIC!
%% {{Jerkass}}: Harry in Case 03
* LotusEaterMachine: It's revealed that the matches of ''Overwatch'' are part of a simulated reality set up by the Omnics, and that every playable character was actually taken captive during the first Omnic Crisis so their enemies can study and adopt their strengths for a second invasion. Whenever the characters [[SpottingTheThread start to notice the odd gameplay memchanics]] and [[GameplayAndStorySegregation total irrelevance their missions have to stopping the crisis]], the Omnics simply hit the ResetButton and erase their memories.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: After Sonya kicks Kano off a cliff he gets his [[EyeScream eye]] poked out by a spike he fell on. He reacts with 'Ow'.
* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: Tails kills Knuckles and Shadow this way, sabotaging their equipment to kill them while making it look like they were killed by malfunctions, and would have done the same to Amy with her hammer if he wasn't caught red handed by her and Sonic.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Mega Man in canon was a robot created by Doctor Light and was his surrogate son. The ''Secret History Of...'' version of the Blue Bomber is the fully organic son of Doctor Wily and [[VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} Symmetra]] turned into a cyborg after suffering a mortal injury and later lost his memories.
* SerialKillerBaiting: In "Secret History of Sonic and Tails," Amy becomes suspicious of the [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident
"accidents"]] that killed Knuckles and Shadow, supposedly caused by malfunctioning phones and jet shoes. Setting herself up as bait allows her and Sonic to catch Tails in the act of rigging her hammer to explode.
%% TragicVillain: Wily is depicted as this in Case 05.
* VillainHasAPoint: Sonic outright admits that Tails, for all his blatant insanity, might have had a point about him not being the real Sonic. (i.e. how Sega depicted Sonic in the games)
* WasOnceAMan: Cuphead and Mugman. Originally, they were Area 51 soldiers who were guarding a portal that was designed for interdimensional travel. After travelling through said portal, they ended up in Inkwell Isle, where they transformed into Cuphead and Mugman.
