What happens when you take the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' franchise, cover it in StylisticSuck, and throw in lots of zany, irreverent humour [[BetterThanABareBulb and a whole lot of lampshades]]? You get ''Sonic in X Minutes'', a series of parodies by Roger van der Weide of ''WebAnimation/KingdumbHearts'' fame. It's effectively TheAbridgedSeries of the entire Sonic franchise, with each instalment lampooning an individual Sonic game within a given number of minutes (until the later instalments, when the length constraints were done away with). The first one, parodying ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'', was released in 2004, and since then almost every post-''Adventure'' Sonic game has been parodied, as well as ''VideoGame/SonicCD''.
You can find them, including the older ones, [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Rogerfromimp/ on Roger's YouTube channel]].

!! This series provides examples of:
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Amy in most of her appearances, to the extent that Sonic will literally run away screaming every time he sees her. She actually abuses this in "''Riders''" by attaching herself to him with a piece of bungee cord, [[BatmanGambit knowing that when he sees her approaching, he'll panic and run away at top speed]]. It works, and Sonic duly wins the Extreme Gear race.
* AxCrazy: Amy is sometimes portrayed like this, most notably in "''[[VideoGame/SonicHeroes Heroes]]''" where she chases just about everyone with her hammer at ''some'' point.
* BigNo: Eggman gets in a pretty good one at the end of "''Riders''":
-->'''Eggman''': Umm, mind if I say a few words, that I have lost and all?
-->'''TV Reporter''': Sure, sure, go ahead!
-->'''Eggman''': Okay, thank you. Ahem... NOOOOOOOOOOOOO-!!
* ChekhovsGun: The Tornado in "''Heroes''", which goes out-of-control after Tails and Knuckles jump out, then shows up during the final battle to slam into Metal Overlord.
** In "''Adventure''", Tails, Knuckles, and Amy's stories all briefly depict Chao being injured, seemingly as throwaway gags. In the final story, when Tikal explains that Perfect Chaos is only rampaging to "protect the Chao", they realize that [[NiceJobBreakingItHero those incidents are the reason he's attacking]].
--->'''Tails''': [[BlatantLies No, Sonic! No Chao got hurt today at all!]]
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Eggman Nega describes his plan in "''[[VideoGame/Sonic Rivals Rivals]]''" thusly:
-->'''Eggman Nega''': See, I came from the future, and went to the present to turn the world into a card, which I can't do in the future for some reason, [[AndThenWhat and then after that, I'll...]] [[OhCrap die in the cold vacuum of space...]]
* DumbMuscle: Knuckles is sometimes depicted like this, most noticeably in "''Rivals''".
-->'''Knuckles''': [[RunningGag I'M CONFUSED!!! RAAAGH!!!]]
* {{Fartillery}}: Eggman uses this against Jet and Wave during "''Riders''". When he tries it later again, Cream throws a stick of dynamite at him, [[TwinkleInTheSky blowing him off-screen]].
* HeliumSpeech: More common in the earlier parodies, where many of the voices were just Roger's sped up to different speeds. The most notable was "''Riders''", where ''everyone'' spoke like this. Cream still tends to speak like this, imitating her high-pitched voice in the games.
* HowWeGotHere: "''Adventure''" begins after the game has already ended, with Chaos defeated and Station Square a flooded ruin. The story is explained by Sonic and friends to a GUN officer who is interrogating them to try and find out just what the hell happened there and who's responsible for it.
* IdiotPlot: Exaggerated in "''Riders''". Instead of keeping the Chaos Emeralds safe, Sonic literally tosses them away just so he can find them again; once they've been collected, Eggman tricks the gang into handing them all over in exchange for ''being able to enter a race''; Eggman then ''enters the race himself so he can win the Chaos Emeralds he already has'', rather than just making off with them; and after winning the race and the Chaos Emeralds, Sonic decides to throw them away ''again'' so he can look for them ''again''.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: Played with in "''Heroes''" where, like the original, some of the team battles are justified (Team Rose think Team Chaotix are the Chao-nappers), others have completely ridiculous excuses (Team Dark vs Team Chaotix), and then there's Team Sonic vs Team Dark:
-->'''Sonic''': [''to Shadow''] Hey, buddy! I'm so happy you're still okay, that's great! Say, we were just on our way to Eggman.
-->'''Shadow''': So are we.
-->'''Sonic''': Huh. [''beat''] Let's kill each other!
* LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading: Naturally, "''[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Sonic '06]]''" parodies this, along with the infamous guard puzzle, by inserting a brief loading screen between ''almost every line of dialogue''. Eventually Knuckles gets so fed up that he ''rips away the loading screen and beats the guard senseless with it''.
* LoonyFan: Amy, naturally. Taken UpToEleven in "''Adventure''" where she sees Sonic running from her screaming and hears, "If you prove yourself to be a capable mother then I'll marry you".
* MamaBear: Amy in "''Adventure''", dialled UpToEleven. When Zero kidnaps Birdie and then insults her parenting skills, she literally ''roars'' with anger and smashes him to pieces with her hammer.
* MetronomicManMashing: [[ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog Ken Penders]] is subjected to this by a tribal echidna during "''Adventure''".
* NeverRecycleYourSchemes: Averted in "''Riders''". When Eggman is pondering what to do next, one of his minions reminds him of the time he tricked a bunch of bank security guards into entering a kart race [[WhatAnIdiot in exchange for them turning off all the security]], allowing Eggman to waltz in and steal all the money while the guards are otherwise occupied. He duly decides to pull the same trick again, throwing an Extreme Gear race in exchange for everyone giving him their Chaos Emeralds.
* NoirEpisode: Knuckles' story in "''Adventure''" is presented as one, complete with Chaos disguising itself as a FemmeFatale to get Knuckles on the case.
* PaperThinDisguise: In "''Heroes''", when the teams all meet up to fight Metal Overlord, Sonic puts a paper bag over his head so that [[{{Yandere}} Amy]] won't recognize him and try to marry him again. ''It works''.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: In "''Heroes''", as Metal Sonic shows off the powers he's stolen from each character, Shadow and Big's powers barely register on his gauge, but Cream's nearly send them ''flying off the screen''. Cream notes that she's been carrying Big around all day. Cheese also counts, as during the Egg Fleet sequence he's seen ripping apart an ''entire freaking battleship'' from the inside.
* RashomonStyle: Like the game it's based on, "''Adventure''" has each character telling their story one at a time (except for Gamma, whose story is "told" by Dr. Eggman). Each character's recollection differs, but the differences are greatly exaggerated compared to the game: in Sonic's story, for example, he's hypercompetent while everyone else (especially Tails) is a complete idiot, while in Tails' story, it's the other way around.
* RunningGag: Most of the videos have one:
** "''Adventure 2''" has everyone mistaking Shadow for Sonic. ''Even Sonic''.
--->'''Shadow''': [''after Amy confuses him for Sonic''] For the last time, I am Sha- [[RunningGagged er, no wait, actually, I am Sonic]]. How about a romantic dinner at-
** "''Rivals''": Knuckles getting confused and attacking the person closest to him while yelling, "[[ThisMakesMeFeelAngry I'M CONFUSED!]] RAAAGH!"
*** This one gets a CallBack in "''Adventure''" where Pachacamac's army (Knuckles' ancestors) all yell "I'M CONFUSED!" when fighting.
** "''Heroes''": Rouge breaking up people's fights and asking why, instead of fighting, they can't all be friends and help her look for jewels.
--->'''Knuckles''': [''staring at Rouge's breasts''] Yeah, babe. I'd ''love'' to help you look for your... ''[[UnusualEuphemism jewels]]''.
--->'''Rouge''': [''backing away''] Never mind, keep fighting.
* SequelEscalation: The episodes kept getting longer and more elaborate to the point that Roger stopped putting the number of minutes in the episode titles, because the numbers were getting silly. "''[[VideoGame/SonicAdventure Adventure''", for example, is ''22 minutes long'' (not the "5 million minutes" claimed in the title, but still insanely long). "''[[VideoGame/SonicHeroes Heroes]]''" was shorter at 12 minutes but boasted ''3D animation. In a Flash video''.
* ShoutOut: "''Adventure 2''" features cameos from Characters/{{Batgirl}}, the Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}, and [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Gollum]]. They all [[ItMakesSenseInContext make sense in context]].
* SidetrackedByTheGoldSaucer: Parodied in ''Rivals'', as Eggman Nega's race is interrupted within seconds when Sonic finds a collectable card.
-->'''Sonic''': Hey, a card! Look, guys, I found a card!
-->'''Knuckles''': I want a card too!
-->[''everyone runs around collecting cards'']
* SpyFiction: Amy's story in "''Adventure''" is told similarly to an action spy thriller, with Amy even being referred to as "Agent Rose".
* StylisticSuck: Like all Roger's animations. Especially so in the earlier episodes, when Roger's English wasn't as good, he did a lot of the voices himself, and his (still deliberately crude) art style wasn't as refined. "''Adventure 2''", the first parody, actually has a disclaimer in the preloader stating that it's ''supposed'' to look that crappy.
* {{Snowclone}}: Each episode's title takes the form "Sonic [game] in X minutes". Until the later editions started to subvert it.
* TakeThatScrappy: Roger is not afraid to take it out on characters he hates. Not in the slightest. Targets include [[Anime/SonicX Chris Thorndyke]] ("''Battle''", "''Riders''"), Amy Rose ("''Adventure 2''"), and [[ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog Ken Penders]] ("''Adventure''").
* VillainBall: Lampshaded with Eggman in "''Riders''", after he organizes an Extreme Gear race with the Chaos Emeralds as the entry fee:
-->'''Eggman''': Muahahaha, it worked, I have all the Chaos Emeralds! Now I'm going to... join in that race, so I can win the Chaos Emeralds I actually already have! ''Muahahaha!''
* {{Wangst}}: In both "''Riders''" and "''Rivals''", Shadow is depicted as a big whiny ball of angst, lampooning his depiction in ''[[VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog his eponymous game]].
-->'''Shadow''': Maria... Maria, why... why me? Who am I, where do I come from, what is my purpose, who stole my wallet, why is everyone against me, why do I- [''crashes into a dumpster''] -ugh... why me...
* WeNeedADistraction: In "''Heroes''", Sonic tells the others to dress up in silly costumes to distract Metal Overlord while he goes off and defeats him all by himself. Partway into the battle, Metal Overlord ends up getting distracted by ''Big the Cat dancing the hula, complete with grass skirt and coconut bra'', giving Sonic an opening to attack him.
* WoundedGazelleGambit: In "''Adventure''", Eggman tells the GUN General that everything he did was completely above-board (his "secret base" was a puppy orphanage, and his missile was a scientific rocket), and that Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles conspired to destroy all his good work. Not only does the GUN General believe him, he even gives Eggman a map to Prison Island and an admission pass, leading to the events of ''Sonic Adventure 2''.
* {{Yandere}}: Amy in several parodies, but most prominently in "''Heroes''", where her idea of a marriage ceremony is to ''knock Sonic off the top of a skyscraper''.
