!Tropes:
* AdaptationalVillainy: A lot of characters are given this treatment in this series. Mario, Tails, Cuphead and Mugman are the prime examples.
%% AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Invoked as the point of this web series.
* AssShove: In Case 01, where Mario executes Sonic by firing a Bullet Bill behind him. And what Harry does to Malfoy with a Snitch...
* AxCrazy: '''TAILS''', full stop. From the ways he murders anyone who gets too close to Sonic to the deranged faces he makes everytime he's onscreen, this Tails is a ''far cry'' from the beloved sidekick of Sonic.
* FantasticRacism: Parodied during Case 04 in which an interview Goro unintentionally offends a ninja who was with him in an dark room. [[spoiler: Turns it it's Noob Saibot, who's completely pitch black.]]
* InsaneTrollLogic: When Sonic states that he and Tails were never best friends, Tails rationalises that if he is Sonic's best friend and that he's not Sonic's best friend then that means Sonic isn't the real Sonic.
--> '''Tails''': That's it. I get it now. If Tails is ''Sonic's'' best friend, and I'm not ''your'' best friend... then YOU AREN'T SONIC!
%% {{Jerkass}}: Harry in Case 03
* LotusEaterMachine: It's revealed that the matches of ''Overwatch'' are part of a simulated reality set up by the Omnics, and that every playable character was actually taken captive during the first Omnic Crisis so their enemies can study and adopt their strengths for a second invasion. Whenever the characters [[SpottingTheThread start to notice the odd gameplay memchanics]] and [[GameplayAndStorySegregation total irrelevance their missions have to stopping the crisis]], the Omnics simply hit the ResetButton and erase their memories.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: After Sonya kicks Kano off a cliff he gets his [[EyeScream eye]] poked out by a spike he fell on. He reacts with 'Ow'.
* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: Tails kills Knuckles and Shadow this way, sabotaging their equipment to kill them while making it look like they were killed by malfunctions, and would have done the same to Amy with her hammer if he wasn't caught red handed by her and Sonic.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Mega Man in canon was a robot created by Doctor Light and was his surrogate son. Secret Histories' version of the Blue Bomber is the fully organic son of Doctor Wily and [[VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} Symmetra]] turned into a cyborg after suffering a mortal injury and later lost his memories.
* SerialKillerBaiting: In "Secret History of Sonic and Tails," Amy becomes suspicious of the [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident
"accidents"]] that killed Knuckles and Shadow, supposedly caused by malfunctioning phones and jet shoes. Setting herself up as bait allows her and Sonic to catch Tails in the act of rigging her hammer to explode.
%% TragicVillain: Wily is depicted as this in Case 05.
* VillainHasAPoint: Sonic outright admits that Tails, for all his blatant insanity, might have had a point about him not being the real Sonic. (i.e. how Sega depicted Sonic in the games)
* WasOnceAMan: Cuphead and Mugman. Originally, they were Area 51 soldiers who were guarding a portal that was designed for interdimensional travel. After travelling through said portal, they ended up in Inkwell Isle, where they transformed into Cuphead and Mugman. While every test subject who went through the portal died as soon as they entered Inkwell Isle, Cuphead and Mugman were spared due to the Devil seeing potential in them as his minions.
* WingdingEyes: Mr Sega's pupils are stylised S's similar to the S in Sega's (the company) name.
* {{Yandere}}: [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Tails]] is portrayed as a platonic example in "The Secret History of Sonic & Tails". He murders Knuckles and Shadow because they were getting too close to Sonic, and he attempts to do the same to Amy. After Sonic tells Tails that the two of them aren't friends, Tails decides that he isn't Sonic.
