* SeldomSeenSpecies: Hybrid and Slate are in-universe examples, since one is a mythical creature of indeterminate heritage and the other is a member of a species that’s (mostly) extinct. Slate is also another in-universe example for much the same reason as all other echidnas outside of the pre-reboot Archie Comics, and so are [[spoiler:Thrash]] and [[spoiler:Shade]].

Loads And Loads Of Characters is no longer a trope
Changed line(s) 7,8 (click to see context) from:
The premise itself is hardly unusual, even for Sonic FanFic, and its CanonWelding and WorldBuilding draws on a lot of popular fanon. What makes it somewhat unique is its [[AnachronicOrder non-linear narrative]], which jumps back and forth between time frames and locations as more elements from alternate continuities are introduced. LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, ContinuityPorn, and boatloads of [[MythologyGag Mythology Gags]] abound, and while the overall tone is generally pretty typical of the games, things do get [[DarkerAndEdgier pretty grim]] at some junctures.

* UnexpectedCharacter: In a story with [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters this many characters]], there’s bound to be some surprises even if you go in with an idea of who- or what- to expect. Characters from alternate canons such as the Fleetway comics can also potentially be this, due to the comics not being published [[NoExportForYou outside of the UK]].

* BackFromTheDead: Many of the characters who have been killed off in the BadFuture are alive and well in the present day, because their deaths technically haven't happened yet. [[spoiler: Shard]] is a twofold example of this, as he’s revealed to have been retconned into a CompositeCharacter; he was [[spoiler: Hyper Metal Sonic from [[Anime/SonicTheHedgehogTheMovie the Sonic OVA]] prior to becoming [[spoiler: Shard]], and after being PutOnABus left his ultimate fate in the comics [[UncertainDoom unknown]], his story picks up here where it left off.

* ArtisticLicenseGunSafety: Averted. Several characters are explicitly stated to practice trigger discipline and keep their weapons' safeties engaged outside of combat. Carlos even lectures Sonic on handling firearms properly after he snatches away a gun that is being pointed ''at him'' by Shadow, rather than lecturing Shadow himself.

* WholePlotReference: Just about every major plot point is one. The first glimpse we get of the Bad Future makes it come across as a DarkerAndEdgier version of ''Sonic Forces'' with a smattering of ''ComicBook/SonicTheComic'' after Robotnik’s time-skip takeover of the planet. The Genesis Wave bringing several alternate continuities together is reminiscent of Archie’s Worlds Unite, while the Master Emerald being shattered recalls the events of both ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' games; it even appears to temporarily cease to exist for a moment, something that was a plot point in ''VideoGame/SonicRivals''. The Emerald Network’s time-travel shenanigans are similar to Silver’s attempts to avert his own Bad Future from ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'' (and just about every subsequent game and comic he’s appeared in). A slight subversion occurs when Station Square is flooded in the vein of the first ''Sonic Adventure'', as [[spoiler:Chaos isn’t actually responsible]] but then the robot pirates from ''VideoGame/SonicRushAdventure'' show up, being led by none other than [[spoiler:Captain Metal]], whose goals remain the same as [[spoiler:his]] debut in [[ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog Sonic Universe]]. The similarities are frequently alluded to, if not outright [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]].
