23	* DudeMagnet: Princess Amy #2 has gained the attraction of quite a few Sonics.
24	* EveryoneHasStandards: When he hears about how apathetic his Boom counterpart is in Chapter 28, Shadow admits that he wouldn't go that far, due to his promise to Maria.
25	* GreaterScopeVillain: While the titular Eggman alliance takes up the bulk of the story, there's also the Eggnikbrid, serving as more of an AncientEvil, [[spoiler:as well as the FinalBoss]].
26	* HeyThatsMyLine: When the Sonics are off to save Westopolis from the Eggmen in Chapter 8:
27	--> '''[=SatAM=] Sonic:''' It’s time to juice and jam!
28	--> '''Underground Sonic:''' Isn’t that my line? Oh, what the heck? ITS JUICE TIME!
29	* HypocriticalHumor: Eggman Nega at one point asks Sonic if the Eggmans "look like comic book villains"[[note]]a ShoutOut to ''Watchmen'', both the [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} comic]] and the [[Film/{{Watchmen}} movie]][[/note]]... when the character has made appearances in various comic book adaptations of the ''Sonic'' franchise. Not only that, but Fleetway Robotnik is ''specifically'' from a comic series.
30	* MotiveRant: Mama Robotnik gives one in Chapter 11 as to why she joined the Eggman Alliance. In all caps, too.
31	* TheMultiverse: Not surprisingly, considering the author, the multiverse plays a big part in the story, on both the heroes’ and the villains’ end.
32	* MyEyesAreUpHere: Princess Amy #2 says this when she's talking to the heroes in Chapter 12 and the "main" version of Sonic can't stop looking at her body.
33	-->'''Myrule Sonic:''' He meant no perverted offense, my princess.
34	* MythologyGag:
35	** A council of other Eggmen is also a thing in ''WesternAnimation/SonicPrime'', something the author notes in Chapter 3’s [=DeviantArt=] description.
36	** [=AoSTH=] Robotnik calls Sonic a "stupid blue pingas" in Chapter 3.
37	** Shadow says his "Cowards run, I win" line from ''[[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW the IDW comic series]]'' in Chapter 5.
38	** Shadow says this in reference to ''VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog'' in Chapter 21:
39	--->'''Shadow:''' Where’s that damn Black Emerald...?
40	* OhCrap:
41	** Boom Knuckles utters "oh shit" in Chapter 25 upon realizing that the monstrous Eggman-like entity was an extra-dimensional ravager-conqueror.
42	** Sonic in Chapter 28 when he realizes he forgot the Chaos Emerald.
43	* OneWordTitle: Chapter 4 is titled "Regrouping".
44	* OriginalGeneration: It’s not just "official" versions of Eggman that get a crack at Sonic; [[https://www.deviantart.com/cvgwjames/art/Eggmandorf-the-Demon-King-of-Darkness-824358835 Eggmandorf]] is a version created by the author specifically for the story. On the heroes’ side, there’s Green Tunic Sonic and [[https://www.deviantart.com/cvgwjames/art/Princess-Amy-Rose-of-Myrule-Myrulean-Odyssey-824693676 Princess Amy Rose]], both from Eggmandorf’s universe. That universe is Myrule, a Sonic-ified version of Hyrule from ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda''.
45	* RecapEpisode: Much of Chapter 6 is the alternate Sonics describing the events of the universes they came from. This is a ShoutOut to a similar scene with the alternate Spider-Men in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderverse''.
46	* SaveTheVillain: Boom Sonic catches Mama Robotnik as she falls of a shuttle in Chapter 10.
47	* ShoutOut:
48	** [=AoSTH=] Sonic says [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} "Hullooooo, nurse!"]] when admiring the beauty of Princess Amy #2. Not everyone is amused.
49	--->'''Sonic:''' She has a boyfriend, dude.
50	** Movie Robotnik says in Chapter 16 that the Great Eggnikbrid gave him "serious ''Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}'' vibes".
51	--->'''Movie Sonic:''' I like ''Ghostbusters''.
52	** When Manhog Sonic talks about Longclaw, she refers to her as [[Franchise/StarWars the Obi-Wan Kenobi to his Luke or Anakin Skywalker]].
53	* TheStarscream: Eggman is unaware that [[spoiler: [=SatAM=] Robotnik and Eggmandorf are scheming behind his back]], until it officially happens in Chapter 37.
54	* TakeThat:
55	** A brief one in Chapter 3, where Shadow briefly states that he has no friends and Team Dark doesn’t exist before immediately admitting he’s kidding, a jab at Sega retconning away both of those things.
56	** Naturally, Sonic's old movie design is referred to as Ugly Sonic. This isn't the only instance of his appearance being roasted, either.
57	** There's a bit in Chapter 33 about the Freedom Fighters not slowing down Sonic. According to the author, this is a jab at what Ian Flynn said on the Bumbleking forum years ago about Sally slowing Sonic down and complicating him when discussing why Sonic and Sally don't work as a couple. It's also a jab at s Sonic fan's claim that Yuji Naka voiced his dislike for the Freedom Fighters and stated they slowed Sonic down.
58	* VillainOpeningScene: The first chapter consists of Dr. Robotnik, frustrated after one too many losses against Sonic, accessing the multiverse and assembling his doubles.
59	* VillainousBreakdown: It's Dr. Robotnik, so regardless of which version, losing his temper at his plans being hindered in any way is to be expected. Chapter 11 is dedicated to this, with several versions of him arguing with each other.
60	* VillainTeamUp: What gets the story started, as Eggman allies himself with multiversal versions of himself to destroy Sonic the Hedgehog.
61	* WhamEpisode: Chapter 37 is where things truly heat up. In it, [[spoiler:Eggmandorf and [=SatAM=] Robotnik get started summoning [[GreaterScopeVillain Eggnikbrid]]]].
