21	* {{Childhood Friends}}:Sonic & Tails, Hilda & Bianca and Ritsu & Mio as told in certain cutscenes.

23	** Bianca and Sawako appear in the ending.
24	** And Clerk Trisha, an NPC from VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite appears in Emerald Hill Zone.
25	** Mio appears as the damsel in distress in a later zone.
26	** WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants makes an appearance on a poster in the Southern Trench Zone.

28	* DamselInDistress: Mio Akiyama.
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.
