26 | ** WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants makes an appearance on a poster in the Southern Trench Zone. |

29 | * EndgamePlus:Beating the game once unlocks Tails, Rosa and Yui as playable characters. |
30 | * {{Eternal Engine}}:Vertical Volley, Eggman's Fortress, E.G.G. Station and Mad Gear zones. |
31 | * {{Foreshadowing}}:E.G.G. Station from Sonic 4 appears as the last zone (in prototype form, duh!) and a prototype of Sonic 4's final boss is fought. |
32 | ** The E.G.G. Station Zone music even plays during the zone as well. |
33 | * GenkiGirl:Hilda and Ritsu are portrayed this way in the cutscenes, to Sonic's partial dismay. |
34 | * {{Green Hill Zone}}:Sunset Savannah Zone and Emerald Hill Zone. |
35 | * {{Hero Of Another Story}}:You play through most of the zones as a different character, and none of the characters know of each others existence until Vertical Volley Zone Act 3. |
36 | * InterspeciesFriendship: Sonic befriends Hilda and Ritsu in a cutscene before Eggman's Fortress Zone. |
37 | * LavaPit: Magma Meadow Zone has some. |
38 | * {{Recycled Soundtrack}}:The soundtrack is composed of songs from various Sonic games, a few Mario songs, a couple of songs from Ys 4 (PC Engine CD), two M.U.S.H.A. songs are used (one of which is used in the ending cutscene), two Time Trax (Genesis) tunes, a Kirby song, the end credits uses the normal ending song from Ape Escape and the opening uses the ''K-On!'' song, "Cagayake! GIRLS". |
39 | * {{Secret Level}}: Emerald Hill, Spring Yard, Dragon Road and Mad Gear zones. |
40 | * ShoutOut: Plenty. |
41 | ** Before the end credits start, a short jingle (The 1-up sound from Sonic 1 & 2 or the "Pokémon caught!" jingle from Pokémon Black and White.) plays, followed by a shout of "K-On!". A reference to the halfway point of each episode of ''K-On!'' where a short guitar rif plays, followed by one of the characters shouting "K-On!" |
42 | ** Two of the Zones Hilda ventures through has a robot that looks suspiciously like the ''VideoGame/PunchOut'' version of Mike Tyson for a boss... |
43 | ** The final boss is fought the way Yoshi fights Big Baby Bowser in Yoshi's Island, but with large steel balls instead of giant eggs. |
44 | *** The final boss song from Yoshi's Island even plays during the fight! |
45 | ** Robotnik Ruins Zone is one huge shoutout to Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. |
46 | ** Act 2 of the same zone is a shoutout to the Youtube video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uamWZ_rRaS8&feature=youtube_gdata_player Hilda vs. Robotnik:The Pokémon Battle!]]", since Grounder is a sub-boss. |
47 | ** An alternate title screen is a shoutout to VideoGame/{{SegaSonic The Hedgehog}}. |
48 | * StoryArc:This is the first game in the Sonic Crossover!/Sonic Anime! trilogy. |
