** The Deadly Six get this in a more subtle way, as they have even fewer frames of animation than the rest of the cast, and their exit is just a lazy rotation effect into the background. They also never get any lines beyond Zomom's occasional "sandwich". Zavok's recurring appearances in ''Forces'' and ''Team Sonic Racing'' paint him as pathetic for submitting to Eggman.

-->'''Lyric''': WHO THE HECK WROTE THIS? MY GOD! THIS IS LIKE A KINDERGARTEN VERSION OF TEEN TITANS GO!

* FunWithSubtitles: There are many times where characters will get interrupted before they can finish everything that the subtitles indicate that they intended to say.

* WhoWritesThisCrap: ''Sonic Boom 3ds'' has the cast reluctantly spouting off constant childish jokes before Lyric, who'd seemingly been the most dedicated to his performance, flies into a rage at the script that gets smoothed over by an outtake.

* ConflictBall: ''Lost World'' has Tails go from laughing along with Sonic's childish insults toward Eggman to a screaming about Sonic "betraying" him for merely starting to suggest an alliance with Eggman. Mere seconds after his outburst, Tails goes right back to laughing along with Sonic.

* MoodWhiplash: Played for comedy in "''Lost World''". Near the end, it gets surprisingly somber with Sonic realizing he's alone and seeing a mechanized Tails about to kill him. Right after Tails reveals it was a trick and turns on the Deadly Six, Sonic hogs the rest of the screentime and the animation drops to Roger's old style while the plot becomes a generic "Sonic beats Eggman in a comical manner" situation. Right afterward, the Deadly Six use the Extractor to drain Sonic of his life force.

* MemoryWipingCrew: In ''Team Sonic Racing'', a Sega employee wipes Orbot and Cubot's memories of Zavok so they don't question why he's suddenly Eggman's lapdog.

** The Deadly Six get this in a more subtle way, as they have even fewer frames of animation than the rest of the cast and their exit is just a lazy rotation effect. The only line ever heard from them is Zomom uttering "sandwich".

* IdiotPlot: The parodies in general tend to invoke this by taking the IdiotPlot elements of whatever game they're parodying and blowing them up to comical proportions. Of all the parodies, though, ''Riders'' takes the cake. Instead of keeping the Chaos Emeralds safe, Sonic literally tosses them away just so he can find them again; once they've been collected, Eggman tricks the gang into handing them all over in exchange for ''being able to enter a race''; Eggman then ''enters the race himself so he can win the Chaos Emeralds he already has'', instead of just making off with them; and after winning the race and the Chaos Emeralds, Sonic decides to throw them away ''again'' so he can look for them ''again''.

* AccentAdaptation: In the games, Knuckles usually has a stoic American accent. In this series, since he is usually portrayed as TheAhnold, he typically has an Austrian accent.

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Infinite in the ''Forces'' series. His personality is almost a complete reversal of his portrayal in ''VideoGame/SonicForces''. In the game, he was basically just a psychopathic bully who relied almost entirely on the Phantom Ruby's brute strength to hurt people, making him UnskilledButStrong. He was also TheDreaded because of his sheer power. Here, he starts out as a stoic, perpetually bored minion who does very little, but later episodes give him more depth. In the series, Infinite uses his powers in much more creative, clever ways, like helping him and Eggman infiltrate the rebel base, manipulating Eggman into not firing him, and more. On the flipside, everyone sees him as a joke despite his skill. It's established that in this series, everyone knows that Infinite's illusions really are illusions, so nobody takes the illusions seriously. Infinite has to really concentrate to produce something (the sun) that will actually harm people. Basically, here he's WeakButSkilled. Also, while Infinite never betrays Eggman in the original game, he's not that loyal to Eggman either, as he frequently goes against Eggman's orders to sate his own ego. In this series, Infinite genuinely wants to serve Eggman, and he is frustrated when Eggman shows him no respect. Finally, instead of turning evil because of one bad incident with Shadow like in the original game, here it's shown that Infinite has been bullied for presumably most of his life, and that's what drove him to villainy. [[spoiler:When Cream shows him sympathy, Infinite makes a HeelFaceTurn, unlike in the original game, where he stays evil to the end and has an UncertainDoom.]]

* AdaptationExpansion: ''Forces'' starts out as a mostly faithful retelling of the original game, but it eventually goes beyond that and turns into a meta commentary of the Sonic franchise and its fanbase overall. However, even the plot points that are similar to the original game are given more detail than the original game shows. For example, there is a lot more emphasis on how Eggman's rule has turned the world into a dystopian nightmare for the citizens of... whichever planet this is (The video lampshades the [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield ambiguity of the setting].) It also fleshes out several background characters, while the original game just has a few generic "soldier" [=NPCs=] with only a few lines. Finally, this version expands on Infinite's backstory more.

* BigBrotherIsWatching: In the ''Forces'' series, Eggman's empire seems benevolent at first, but starting in part 2, he drops all formalities and becomes a cruel, oppressive ruler. His minions are keeping close tabs on every citizen, and if someone says anything even remotely negative about Eggman, they will be put through UnwillingRoboticization.

* TheCaligula: Dr. Eggman in ''Forces''. While he initially seems to be a DesignatedVillain [[invoked]] who actually makes the world a better place once he takes it over, it's later revealed that he's still his childish, egotistical self, and he's using his political power and robot enforcers to make everyone worship him.

* DesignatedVillain: [[invoked]] In ''Sonic Forces in minutes'', after Eggman takes over the world, he actually makes it a better place. He's still the main villain of the video, however. This is PlayedForLaughs, of course. Later Subverted, however, as Blaze exposes his corruption to every one and future episodes show things are actually worse under Eggman.

** In part 4 of "''Forces''", Cream is only given a raisin cookie out of neligence. When the [[spoiler:Phantom Ruby is about to burn everyone, Cream shows up with the raisin cookie. Infinite has a flashback to where he was offered a cookie in the past and rips out the ruby to get it, foiling the ruby's plan]].

* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: The ''Forces'' miniseries has Sonic's team interact with characters from all across the Sonic franchise. There are also several fan characters, as well as generic [=OCs=] meant to represent Sonic fans in general. The final episode has two more big additions: One, Infinite summons various [=YouTubers=] such as the WebVideo/GameGrumps, Music/RecD (who voices Sonic in this miniseries), and more. Two, Eggman uses his new powers to steal magical artifacts from characters in other works of fiction, including [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Gollum]], [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar Thanos]], [[Anime/OnePunchMan Saitama]], [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Ganon]], and more. [[spoiler:These other character later raid Eggman's lair to take back their artifacts]].

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Infinite in the ''Forces'' series. His personality is almost a complete reversal of his portrayal in ''VideoGame/SonicForces''. In the game, he was basically just a psychopathic bully who relied almost entirely on the Phantom Ruby's brute strength to hurt people, making him UnskilledButStrong. He was also TheDreaded because of his sheer power. Here, he starts out as a stoic, perpetually bored minion who does very little, but later episodes give him more depth.

* NeverRecycleYourSchemes: Averted in "''Riders''". When Eggman is pondering what to do next, one of his minions reminds him of the time he tricked a bunch of bank security guards into entering a kart race [[WhatAnIdiot in exchange for them turning off all the security]], allowing Eggman to waltz in and steal all the money while the guards were otherwise occupied. He duly decides to pull the same trick again, throwing an Extreme Gear race in exchange for everyone giving him their Chaos Emeralds. It works just as well as it did the first time.

* LoonyFan: Amy, naturally. Taken UpToEleven in "''Adventure''" where she sees Sonic running from her screaming and hears, "If you prove yourself to be a capable mother then I'll marry you". In ''Forces'', when one fan shows off his fanart of a muscular Sonic, Amy asks if she can have it.

* MamaBear: Amy in "''Adventure''", dialled UpToEleven. When Zero kidnaps Birdie and then insults her parenting skills, she literally ''roars'' with anger and smashes him to pieces with her hammer.

* MoodWhiplash: Played for comedy in "''Lost World''". Near the end, it gets surprisingly somber with Sonic realizing he's alone and seeing a mechanized Tails about to kill him. Right after Tails reveals it was a trick and turns on the Deadly Six, Sonic hogs the rest of the screentime and the animation drops to Roger's old style while the plot becomes a generic "Sonic beats Eggman in a comical manner" situation. Taken UpToEleven as right afterward, the Deadly Six use the Extractor to drain Sonic of his life force.

* MetronomicManMashing: [[Creator/KenPenders]] is subjected to this by a tribal echidna during "''Adventure''".

* MetronomicManMashing: [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics Ken Penders]] is subjected to this by a tribal echidna during "''Adventure''".

** "''Olympic Games''": "I know London is known for its fog, but this is ridiculous!" [''CannedLaughter''] Eventually RunningGagged at the end when Mario and Sonic [[TakeThatScrappy beat Toad and Omochao to death]].

* CannedLaughter: Used repeatedly during "''London Olympics''".
