* '''LullDestruction''': In ''Rise of Lyric'', the characters will spout lines of dialogue for ''every single thing'' they do. Even ''jumping on bounce pads'' has several lines associated with it. It would be impressive if the lines were more interesting and less [[CaptainObvious "I love bounce pads!"]]

The story, what little there is, is set in an alternate continuity where Sonic and his friends live on islands and are adventurers who usually clash with Eggman now and then. ''Rise of Lyric'' plot sees Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy fighting Eggman as usual when his robot army outnumber them near a odd temple entrance. Wanting to save his friends and against their objections, Sonic opens the entrance so they can escape into only to find that it was a prison for the titular Lyric who Sonic unwittingly frees. Wanting to fix his mistake, Sonic and his friends set off on a quest to stop Lyric and whatever he has planned as well and continue their tussle with Eggman.

** It's developed by former ''Franchise/SlyCooper'' and Creator/NaughtyDog developers. From the first trailer alone it shows.

** Sticks is a living throwback to ''Franchise/CrashBandicoot''.
* DolledUpInstallment: Many of the games ideas and mechanics were based off of a rejected pitch for a ''Franchise/CrashBandicoot'' game called ''Crash: Evolution''.

** Ever since the first cartoon from 1993, WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog, Sonic still likes Chili Dogs. At least according to this conversation.

* InNameOnly: This particular game is commonly considered to be a generic cartoon platformer that happens to star ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' characters rather than a "proper" Sonic title/spinoff. There is also evidence that the original intention for the project was to develop a ''Sly Cooper''-esque title until Sega approached Big Red Button, resulting in the developers retroactively putting the characters into an already half-developed game. This hasn't been confirmed.

** According to an interview with {{WebOriginal/GameGrumps}}, the Quality Assurance team found and reported most, if not all, the bugs present in the game, but their reports were ignored. The Grumps also jokingly asked if they were beta testing the released game during the first episode of their play-through.

''Shattered Crystal'' plot, apparently set some time after the former game, has Lyric kidnap Amy and Sonic and his friends setting off to rescue her. Unlike the former game. Amy isn't playable, but rather substitutes her for Sticks (who ironically wasn't playable in ''Rise of Lyric'').

** For those who don't want to (or are unable to) watch the videos, it's being compared to ''Sonic '06'' in terms of being broken due to a massive amount of glitches (including being able to skip to the ''third to final level'') found on ''day one''.

'''''Sonic Boom''''' is a spinoff series in the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' franchise, developed concurrently with the [[WesternAnimation/SonicBoom TV show]] and [[ComicBook/SonicBoom comic series]]. The series began with '''''Rise of Lyric''''' for UsefulNotes/WiiU and '''''Shattered Crystal''''' for UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS, both of which were released in November 2014.

A third game in the series, '''''Fire & Ice''''', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1TwJmYz3eQ was announced for the 3DS]] and is similar to ''Shattered Crystal'', except Amy is now playable and (as the title states) all characters can switch between fire and ice modes. The plot has Sonic and friends facing Eggman and new villain [[PunnyName D-Fekt]] as they attempt to stop the weather-related aftereffects of the former's Ragnium mining operation from tearing the world apart. The game was released on September 27th, 2016.

* AdaptationalBadass: Amy is much more capable than she is in the regular series. For a split second in the trailer when the heroes fall in a hole, everyone but [[http://www.deviantart.com/art/Sonic-Boom-Amy-the-Ninja-432599496 her]] fell on their face. She was never a pushover in the main series, mind you, but she seems even more capable in this series.

* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Tails falls flat on his face when the gang falls into a chasm during the initial reveal, forgetting he can glide.

** The cameo is especially odd because, unlike those of the main cast, Shadow's character design is unchanged from previous entries in the series. [[FridgeBrilliance Then again, he can travel through time...]]

* JackOfAllStats: Amy, she appears to combine elements of the other three.
