2	''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.

4	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 poorly created fanwork.

10	!!"My Tropes Collection!":
11	* AffectionateParody: [[https://twitter.com/arcanekids/status/632237470449430528 Surprisingly so.]] Arcane Kids, as enthusiastic about ''Sonic'' as the average fan, were more than happy to make fun of the weirder side of ''Sonic'' fandom.
12	** ''Sonic Movie Maker'' parodies the more [[PerverseSexualLust sexually-charged]] fangroups.
13	** ''Make My Sonic'' sends up the [[SturgeonsLaw infamous quality]] of ''Sonic'' original characters.
14	** ''My Roommate Sonic'' plays out like a SelfInsertFic.
15	* AntiFrustrationFeature: In ''My Roommate Sonic'', Eggman will tell you what to do if you get stuck for a few minutes.
16	* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: What happens in the end of ''Eggman Origin.'' Eggman grabs you and hoists you to the sky, and then you complete an ascension. Interestingly, your randomly generated OC Hedgehog character is turned into Sonic upon ascension. This seems to imply that all "OC" hedgehogs are merely inferior clones of the eternal character that inspired them all.
17	* BackgroundMusicOverride: Occasionally, when the [=SegaNet=] window has been left running idle for long enough, it will begin playing [[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign some Brazilian/Spanish mixup ]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHl5kI5_RvY romantic stock music.]]
18	* BalloonBelly: Happens to Sonic in the third-to-last part of ''Sonic Movie Maker''.
19	* BodyHorror: Sonic's realistic human feet in ''My Roommate Sonic''.
20	* 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 -- [[InvokedTrope into one of these]].
21	* ChivalrousPervert: Even though Eggman is spying on you and Sonic in ''My Roomate Sonic'', he only seems to want to help you confess your feelings to him. Whether or not this is a ''good'' thing is entirely up to you.
22	* ConjoinedEyes: Lampshaded in ''My Roommate Sonic'' in the creepiest possible manner. Once you stare deep into Sonic's eyes, ''his pupils merge'', kick-starting the GainaxEnding.
23	* ContinuitySnarl: Despite ''Sonic Movie Maker'' supposedly being created in 1998, it features Shadow and Rouge (whose first appearances were in 2001) and Blaze (whose first appearance was in ''2005''). It also specifically uses voice clips from ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006''.
24	* 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.
25	-->"This is my favorite story!" - Sonic
26	* DisguisedHorrorStory: Starts out as a fun and goofy collection of Sonic games. And then you start playing it.
27	* 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.
28	* EasterEgg: ''Eggman Origin'' and ''Sonic Movie Maker'' contain ''way'' too many secrets to properly count if you go farther out of the game area, which are usually in the form of Eggmen saying various random things. In the case of ''Sonic Movie Maker'', you have to go on various [[FetchQuest Fetch Quests]] to give various objects to them, and sometimes they reward you with things like extra speech bubbles or props.
29	* EldritchAbomination:
30	** Eggman is portrayed as a limbless, worm-eating, long-necked monstrocity in ''Eggman Origin''. ''And you help him''.
31	** 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 dimension using a portal he created from his eyes]]. Yeah.
32	** There's also one inside the moon in the hotel level of ''Sonic Movie Maker''.
33	* FantasticVoyagePlot: The "Crib" sequence in ''Sonic Movie Maker'', which has you start out somewhere inside Rouge The Bat's [[ArtisticLicenseBiology stomach/uterus]]. It only gets worse from there.
34	* FirstPersonSnapshooter: The focus of each ''Sonic Movie Maker'' scenario is to find a camera somewhere in the area and then film six seconds of footage.
35	* {{Foreshadowing}}: The description for ''Sonic Movie Maker'' notes that the project was shut down by Sega executives after they learned about the "darker subplots."
36	* GainaxEnding:
37	** ''My Roommate Sonic'': You stare too deep into Sonic's eyes, which fuse into a singular portal-like eye, and end up being sucked inside Sonic's eye and into another dimension where you turn into a headless, human-Sonic hybrid running and rolling at the speed of sound, forever. Then the phone appears from the sea, its text asking you if this is what you really wanted. Then the camera pans out and Sonic turns the Dreamcast off.
38	** ''Eggman Origin'': After feeding Eggman enough worms, a giant Egg Capsule sprouts from the ground. When you walk up the stairs and encounter Eggman again, he grabs you in his mouth, reverting your OC Hedgehog back into the Form of Sonic, and soars to the heavens while a distorted Eggman voice clip plays. Then you earn an ascension.
39	* 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.]]
40	* GrossOutShow: ''Sonic Movie Maker'' is definitely this, what with all the orgies and vore.
41	* 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'').
42	* HellIsThatNoise: Used several times during ''Sonic Movie Maker'', but most infamously in "Crib" by the ''giant Big the Cat'' you find inside of Rouge.
43	** The [[EasterEgg above-mentioned blue ball]]. Depending on how far away you are from it, not only does its model begin to freak out, but it will emit [[SensoryAbuse an extremely loud and glitchy mess of static]] until you get close to it again. In fact, people who get it during the Prom scene by just scroll-wheeling the glass pineapple up to the Eggman [[JumpScare will be in for a very nasty surprise.]]
44	** The fact that the [=SegaNet=] window starts playing that Portuguese/Spanish bossa nova song when it's left alone too long. Some people have actually become genuinely panicky and scared when the music starts playing while they're playing Eggman Origins or even some of the other minigames.
45	* InterspeciesRomance: In ''My Roommate Sonic'', you're a human who's trying to get into a relationship with, well, Sonic, who is their roommate. [[MindScrew You take it too far.]]
46	* JumpScare: In the "Crib" segment of ''Sonic Movie Maker'', there is a second area you can go to, and if you're holding a Chaos Emerald to light the way, you'll see what lies in wait at the end; a giant, highly-detailed, slick with slime Big The Cat that is breathing heavily and is staring straight into your soul. Many a Let's Player has been suitably jumped by this and equally disturbed by the fact that it just sits there and ''[[NothingIsScarier stares]]''.
47	** Whatever you do, ''don't'' use the scroll wheel to bring the fake pineapple up to the Egg Creature in the "Prom" level...
48	* JumpingOutOfACake: If you feed Sonic all the food in ''Sonic Movie Maker'', a cake containing a still-drowsy Tails will appear.
49	* LastNoteNightmare: The end of Eggman Origins (i.e., when you ascend) is the classic level fanfare playing an increasingly high rate.
50	* MacroZone: The latter part of the "Crib" segment and the bonus ''My Roommate Sonic'' segment in ''Sonic Movie Maker''. The former in a giant crib and the latter in the living room of ''My Roommate Sonic'', except now you're tiny.
51	* MindScrew: Just ''try'' to make sense of what happens in ''Eggman Origin'' and ''My Roommate Sonic.''
52	* MiniGame: You can play ''Snake'' on the giant phone in the ''Sonic Movie Maker'' bonus scene.
53	* 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.]]
54	* MoodWhiplash: After all the increasingly disturbing scenarios in ''Sonic Movie Maker'', the scenario unlocked after completing ''My Roommate Sonic'' is the least-disturbing. It's simply the set of ''My Roommate Sonic'', except you're tiny and on the coffee table. The strangest thing in the scenario is merely that the character represented by you in ''My Roommate Sonic'' has a camera for a head. Nothing else happens.
55	* NonHumanHead: The scenario in ''Sonic Movie Maker'' that's unlocked after completing ''My Roommate Sonic'' has the character you'd played as in ''Roommate'' being a human with a camera for a head.
56	* RubberMan:
57	** Your character's limbs in ''My Roommate Sonic'' tend to stretch and flop around a lot.
58	** Eggman in ''Eggman Origin'' does this with his neck, which stretches out when he grabs a worm (and later Sonic himself).
59	* 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 ForcedTransformation victim. To say that this thing goes from 0 to 100 in the blink of an eye would be an understatement.
60	* ShipperOnDeck: Eggman acts as one for the player and Sonic in ''My Roommate Sonic'', giving advice through text messages from a building across the street.
61	* StylisticSuck: The game recreates Dreamcast Era graphics for the in-game characters, character ragdolls are stiff with flailing and awkward physics, and there are several areas where one can walk right through walls or the ceiling.
62	* SurrealHorror: Downplayed. Although some sequences have horror elements and can get quite bizarre, most of the time the games tend towards the "surreal" part instead of the "horror" part.
63	* TakeThat: One of the traits you can get by Ascending in ''Eggman Origins'' is "Post-Jazz"; it's represented on Chao Garden as a music note being hit with a hammer, as seen [[http://chao.garden/angels/sonic here]].
64	* UncannyValley:
65	** Sonic's human feet in ''My Roommate Sonic''.
66	** The realistic Big the Cat in ''Sonic Movie Maker'', especially his eyes.
67	* VaderBreath: Big the Cat in the Crib part of the ''Sonic Movie Maker'' breathes heavily.
68	* WhamLine: There's a well-hidden speech bubble in the "Feeding" level of ''Sonic Movie Maker'' that instantly makes the scene even more uncomfortable than before:
69	-->Sorry, daddy
70	* WhiteVoidRoom: ''Eggman Origin'', being a prototype MMO, has a completely featureless landscape.
71	* WombHorror: The second-to-last stage of ''Sonic Movie Maker'' is initially set in what looks like some giant creature's stomach, until you fall down in a hole and come out... revealing it was Rouge the Bat's uterus.
72	* WombLevel: Literally. The last scene of ''Sonic Movie Maker'' (not counting the DLC), starts off inside ''Rouge's uterus''. Or rather, what seems to be [[ArtisticLicenseBiology some kind of combination of her uterus and her stomach, since there's a slice of pizza inside.]]
73	* WreakingHavok: The physics in ''Sonic Movie Maker'' make ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'' look reasonable.
74	* {{Yandere}}: Behind the motel in ''Sonic Movie Maker'', an egg-thing wants to see Tails but claims to be too shy. What happens when you bring it Tails? ''He burns''. Or rather, you're given a flaming heart prop... which lands on top of Tails.
75	----
76	Wayne Gretzky rules!!
