History ShoutOut / SonicWorldAdventureRush

* Morgan laFey (portrayed by [[VideoGame/SonicChronicles Shade the Echidna]]), raises the remains of the true King Arthur (Sonic). The whole thing, down to the line "Rise from your gave" is a big shout out to the Genesis classic ''VideoGame/AlteredBeast''.

** [[WebAnimation/YouTubePoop Pingas]] Potato Crisps

** The Dural reference is a given. Metal Sonic was a copycat fighter in ''VideoGame/SonicTheFighters'', just like Dural in Virtua Fighter. This trait carried over into other titles such as VideoGame/SonicHeroes and SonicRivals.

** [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 Chaos Soda and Chaos Cola]] become replacements for the [[SonicChronicles Speed Cola]] item.

** Aside from Chaos Cola, Chaos Soda, and Double Jigger, the other boost drinks are given a shout out too in the form of a real [[http://www.thedrunkenmoogle.com/post/663807093/sonic-the-hedgehog-sonic-the-hedgehog-shot alcoholic drink]], real [[http://www.whatpoll.com/sonic-the-hedgehog-products vile grapefruit flavored soda]], and a real [[http://www.neatoshop.com/product/Sonic-The-Hedgehog-Speed-Energy-Drink energy drink]]. Of course this is all inspired by the original Adventure Gamebook idea where the characters of the story had various powerups ala SonicChronicles.

* Tails keeps all his gadgets from TailsAdventure within a gym bag he scored from [[VideoGame/MarioAndSonicAtTheOlympicGames Beijing]]

* When Knuckles confronts [[SonicX Li Yan]], he finds that while he is a crime boss himself, he answers to a [[VideoGame/StreetsOfRage higher authority]], who also supplies some of his gang.

* While taking in the sights of [[SonicUnleashed Empire City]], this exchange occurs:

* When Arthur is turned into the [[SonicUnleashed Ilwolf]], a ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' inspired party goes after him. They should be familiar to anyone who played any VideoGame/GoldenAxe game.

** Not to mention most of the food items from VideoGame/SonicUnleashed and [[SonicStorybookSeries Sonic and the Black Knight]]

** [[YouTubePoop Pingas]] Potato Crisps

* The concept of Metal Sonic (called by his Japanese name Mecha Sonic in the story) fighting Mephiles the Dark came about long before it was discovered that Metal Sonic had his [[http://info.sonicretro.org/Game_Secrets:Sonic_the_Hedgehog_%282006_game%29#Main_Menu_Text own mission set]] planned for the terrible ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006''! Which leads to a case of HilariousInHindsight.

* Nack the Weasel is known by his Japanese name Fang, and acts as a thief/rogue type. His competition in claiming the reward on slaying the Ilwolf? Ever play ''VideoGame/PopfulMail'''?

* Agent Topaz, a character from ''SonicX'' and the tie in comics, wore a police uniform that resembled the ones worn by those in VirtuaCop.
** She even says she joined the VCPD because she was inspired by her father, who was a brave [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_Rangers firefighter]]

* Several of the files stolen by the mystery hacker are [[Anime/SonicX Metarex]] Technology, [[ComicBook/SonicTheComic Drakon]] Technology, [[VirtuaFighter Project DURAL]], and [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 Artificial Chaos]] technology.

* Morgan laFey (portrayed by [[SonicChronicles Shade the Echidna]]), raises the remains of the true King Arthur (Sonic). The whole thing, down to the line "Rise from your gave" is a big shout out to the Genesis classic AlteredBeast.
** AlteredBeast was based in Greek mythology, but the gothic horror elements work in any setting.

* Several of the files stolen by the mystery hacker are [[SonicX Metarex]] Technology, [[SonicTheComic Drakon]] Technology, [[VirtuaFighter Project DURAL]], and [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 Artificial Chaos]] technology.

* Now that RogerCraigSmith is the voice of Sonic, and Captain Westwood is heavily inspired by Albert Wesker, chances are, the dialogue between the two will include a few VideoGame/ResidentEvil5 quotes.

** [[PuyoPuyo Mean Beans]] Jellybeans

** Not to mention the alcoholic drink Double Jigger. Which means two [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPHMONSja6g&feature=related different]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigger_%28bartending%29 things]] while simultaneously being a shout out to the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBkr6CjEJvI boost drinks]] in NaziZombies.

** Which resulted in Mephiles being written with a dash of The Doctor's nemesis The Master, but owing a lot more to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oA7d9VU9zl0 Count Iblis]] of ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|Reimagined}}'' with his air of ambiguity. He also owes alot to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zKwCiBegEI Legion]].
* An Empire City coffee shop is named [[{{Friends}} City Perk]]

* When Arthur is turned into the [[SonicUnleashed Ilwolf]], a ''DungeonsAndDragons'' inspired party goes after him. They should be familiar to anyone who played any GoldenAxe game.

* Nack and Bark are disturbed by Bean's love of KFC. Considering they were a blatant product placement in ''Dynamite Dux'' in the arcade, perhaps the craving runs in the family?

* Nack remarks that he wasn't going to kill Bean's brothers Bin and Pin. Those two originated in the arcade scene, and later on the SegaMasterSystem as [[http://www.retrogarden.co.uk/arcade/dynamite-dux/ Dynamite Dux]]. Bean was designed for Sonic the Fighters explicitly as a reference to this game, as they were both made by Sega's AM2 arcade division. Bean's alternate costume is Bin!
