* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The graphics in ''Dash'' are very highly detailed for a multiplatform mobile game, with high-poly character and enemy models roughly on-par with the console version of ''VideoGame/SonicColors'', or at the very least the Nintendo 3DS edition of ''VideoGame/SonicLostWorld''.
** It looks even better when you're playing it on a PC, as it was available through the Microsoft Store for users of Windows 8.1 and the (then) just-released Windows 10.

Renamed one trope.


* ItsTheSameSoItSucks: The general reaction on the [[UpdatedRerelease Updated Rereleases]] ''Sonic Dash+'' on Platform/AppleArcade and ''[[WesternAnimation/SonicPrime Sonic Prime Dash]]'' on Creator/{{Netflix}} Games was that they are too similar to the original game with very few changes. And past limited event characters can no longer be earned unless they get another event, and only in ''Dash+''. One agreed upon benefit is that these versions have no ads and no microtransactions, and they are included with other subscriptions with numerous other content such as Apple Arcade and Netflix.

* MemeticMutation: #[=Rally4Sally=], as a response to the inclusion of [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW Tangle and Whisper]]. If they can get into ''Dash'' and ''[[VideoGame/SonicForcesSpeedBattle Speed Battle]]'', then why not [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics Sally Acorn]]?'

* ContestedSequel: While most would agree that ''Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom'' improves upon the mechanics of the first game, some of the additional new mechanics are seen as a bit divisive, such as ones relying on [[{{Waggle}} motion controls]]. The game's lack of characters has also been a sore sticking point, having a mere 7 characters compared to ''Dash 1'''s [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters 70]]. And that's not even going into the game being a tie-in to the already divisive ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'' subfranchise.

** Nobody expected that ''Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom'' would ever get new characters because of the divisive nature of ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'', so everyone was surprised when Vector the Crocodile was added to the game in 2020, three years after the series ended and the ''Boom'' subfranchise was all but over.

* HilariousInHindsight: Back in 2015, the game would host a limited-time crossover event with ''VideoGame/AngryBirdsEpic''.

** Among fans of the ''VideoGame/PacMan'' series, expressing both bafflement and sadness that this, of all games, was Ms. Pac-Man's SwanSong. [[note]]With the legal issues surrounding [[VideoGame/PacMan Ms. Pac-Man]] preventing her from appearing not only in new games, but even [[VideoGame/PacLand rereleases of]] [[VideoGame/PacManWorld games]] she ''did'' originally appear in, some fans have commented that this game, for all intents and purposes, marked the EndOfAnEra.[[/note]]
