* EatTheDog: A wild Riolu asks if Lucario is going to eat him.

* SurroundedByIdiots: Tabuu and Ganondorf. They can't really be blamed, though.

* ViolationOfCommonSense: The trope goes all out during special events.

* YouAllLookFamiliar: The Diamond & Pearl arc has a hell lot of Lucario everywhere. There's Chris's huge Lucario, there's Maylene's insufferable Lucario, there's Riley's loyal Lucario, and then there's Cynthia's composed Lucario. Add the fact there's a valley full of them. Of course they all will look the same ([[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers but not the main Lucario]]).

* WiseBeyondTheirYears: More like mature regarding the younger Smashers.

%% ** Bard: SpoonyBard / MusicalAssassin

* RuleOfSeven: The Smashers end up doing this a lot. [[VideoGame/PaperMario Seven Star Spirits]], [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Seven powerless Chaos Emeralds and Seven Temples of Gaia.]] They somehow feel that it's going to be repeated again in the future. To add more to the list, there's the implication that [[spoiler:the dead ones will take part in three weeks playing Shibuya's Reapers' Game.]]

* BountyHunter: The supposed bounty hunter that's trying so hard to finish sidequests before the Smashers can turns out to be [[VideoGame/{{Solatorobo}} Red Savarin]].

* ThreeAmigos: The postmen at the Wings Post Office: [[VideoGame/PaperMario Parakarry]], [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker Quill]], and [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess the Postman]].
** [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Lucas, Dawn, and Barry.]] Marley was the fourth person, but she deserted them after having had enough of Barry's presence.

%% ** Dragoon: BladeOnAStick / DeathFromAbove

* DreamTeam: Over 40 characters from across each universe.

* RunningGag: Every universe and their main characters will always tell werehog Sonic that his transformation's explanation is [[Literature/{{Twilight}} "so overused nowadays,"]] much to his annoyance.

* BonusBoss: A especially-designed Battle Floor in the mansion housing the universe's most chaotic bosses. The first one that bit the dust almost gave everybody nightmares.

* UnstoppableRage: An issue Chris is trying to stop Lucario from doing.

* BalefulPolymorph: Sonic's werehog transformation. [[spoiler:He gets rid of it later on, but it powers up the BigBad of the saga...]]

As the work [[{{Anvilicious}} implies many times]] throughout, it shares the CentralTheme of its predecessor (''Fanfiction/{{The Bond of Aura}}''): solitude is a horrible feeling, but [[YouAreNotAlone the people you spend time with are there to help you out]].
