* TheCameo: VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog could be seen sunbathing around Anemone Beach.

* BrokenAesop: After spending the entire game [[{{Anvilicious}} beating it into the players head]] that the monsters are people too, deserve equal rights, and actually could coexist with Humans if the Humans got rid of their racism, [[spoiler:the ending does a complete 180 and has the hero banish all the monsters to the "underworld" where they originated from, because apparently monsters ''aren't'' people after all and could never coexist with Humans...]]
** It's not as bad in the European translation. The monsters are trapped in the human world and want to get back to the underworld.

An 1994 ActionAdventure game for the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis, also [[MarketBasedTitle known as]] ''Soleil'' in PAL regions and ''Ragnacenty'' in Japan. It was published by Creator/{{Atlus}}.

The game starts with your character on the birthday where he receives his first sword and becomes a man. He inherits the old sword of his father, a great swordfighter and hero. After learning to throw it, you venture out into the world to fight monsters and have a good ol' time. Except that not all is as it seems.

* BornInTheWrongCentury Born: The imprisoned adventurer in the epilogue. See HeroOfAnotherStory below.

Essentially a large and fairly well done parable for environmentalist and expansionist issues as well as the morality of killing those who are different and strange.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: A meta example. See UnfortunateNames below.
** Though to be fair, the game was made in 1994 so it's not like the developers could have known.

** Music/SnoopDogg, Literature/LittleRedRidingHood, Film/TheWizardOfOz, and Literature/TheBible. The witch in Iris has this for her chant: [[Series/TheManShow Ziggy...zaggy...oy...oy...oy.]]

* UnfortunateNames: The main character's name is [[UsefulNotes/CoronavirusDisease2019Pandemic Corona]]. Nowadays a name like that ''cannot'' conjure pleasant imagery.

* HelloInsertNameHere: The player is asked to enter their name at the be of the game, though the default name is Corona.

* PlayableEpilogue: You get to walk around Soleil town after defeating the FinalBoss and see the effects your time travelling has had in the world. The statue of the hero in the town's fountain has been replaced by a statue of a goddess, Amon is locked in jail and the player's father is alive. It's implied that the player and all his animal companions remember the old timeline. It's also possible to die in this if you walk into the fireplace for too long.

--->'''Sonic''':

** Your father [[spoiler:eventually reappears in the epilogue, alive and well in your family's house. Because the monsters never appeared in this world, your father never got killed by them either.]]

The player comes across him at various points in his adventures, even rescuing him from a block of ice in Fresia. In the altered timeline at the end of the game, Amon is portrayed as a BloodKnight who ends up in prison.

* TheRival: Billy (US)/Bull (UK), who appears at your birthday party at the start of the game. He berates you for getting your father's sword, bragging that his is new and mocks you for going to the playground, [[{{Hypocrite}} even though you can catch him there yourself]]. When you become a hero, he proclaims that he hates you for it.

* UnderTheSea: Complete with lack of oxygen. Can be ThatOneLevel.
