Line #42 Trivia/SonicIntoAcrossAndBeyond


1	* ApprovalOfGod:
2	** In a [[https://www.tumblr.com/sstorminghearts/734429330365710336/thats-so-cool-thank-you-for-including-my-amy repost]] on Tumblr, ''sstorminghearts / emistations'', the designer of the Black Knight Amy AU concept, praised the inclusion of her WhatIf idea in ''Into, Across and Beyond!''.
3	** The original creator of Milly also approved of her OriginalCharacter's inclusion in the project and the story written up for her, with her hopes for the LoveTriangle to end with [[FanPreferredCouple her marrying Lord X]].
4	** In a comment on the post showing [[Webcomic/{{Funkinverse}} The X]] appearing in the ''IAB!'' SharedUniverse, [=LemonDew=] / That_Frog_Robo saw and approved of their character's appearance in the project, and mentioned they were flattered when they learned about it from a friend.
5	* HeAlsoDid: Prior to starting ''IAB!'', Pico DS had been experimenting with other prior ''Sonic.exe'' game concepts (such as an attempted reboot of the Phantom Saga by ''Creator/NotSoDevy'' and co-directing ''VideoGame/SonicReclassified'' for a bit) before dropping out of game development entirely. A trace of this past work is present within Jake Carter (the Reclassified counterpart of "Sonic"), who makes a brief appearance in a ''Many More Heroes'' mockup. Pico is also the current director of ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkinChildhoodMemories'' alongside BEC Enterprises.
6	* OfficialFanSubmittedContent: The appearance of Lord Mortis from ''Sonic II Special'' in one of the Quill Society mockups was suggested by [=NightAkio=], whose own OriginalCharacter makes an appearance.
7	* RealLifeWritesThePlot:
8	** For "Canon Aversion Attempts", Nitro's mention of a jam and cream donut is attributed to Pico himself having had one at the time of writing the post.
9	** The cameo appearances made by [[Franchise/AngryBirds Red]] are due to Creator/{{SEGA}} acquiring Rovio and their [=IPs=].
10	* ReferencedBy: One of the posts for ''Funkinverse'', [[https://www.reddit.com/r/FridayNightFunkin/comments/1b0h8ji/funkinverse_i_had_a_vision/ "I Had a Vision"]], features one of Pico DS's sprites of The X briefly amongst the featured artwork.
11	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In the post talking about the [=SEGANet=], small tidbits were dropped as to choices that would've been made for ''Into, Across and Beyond!''.
12	** The Spider-Ham role was originally going to be for a Sonic based around all three of the [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog classic]] [[WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM Sonic]] [[WesternAnimation/SonicUnderground cartoons]], though the role was ultimately handed over to Mr. Needlemouse via a suggestion by his creator. The ''Underground'' version of Sonic was instead moved to being a member of the Quill Society due to this.
13	** [[WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM SatAM Robotnik]] and Mammoth Mogul were both considered for Kingpin's spot, though both were ultimately turned down, for reasons explained below. Eggman Nega was ultimately decided upon for the role.
14	*** [=SatAM=] Robotnik was ultimately turned down due to Snively, his ex-henchman, already representing that cartoon.
15	*** Mammoth Mogul was rejected for the role, since he already takes Kingpin's place in the Mobiverse continuity.
16	** Wacky almost lost her position in the project outright due to allegations going on around danicorelove at the time, though once this was resolved, she could stay in the cast.
17	** Before ultimately receiving the name "Bently Forceloyed", the alternate version of Benjamin in the ''New Identity, New Life'' sub-story was to be dubbed "Bentonly Riley".
18	** The Gust Planet billboard mocking ''VideoGame/SonicOmens'' was planned to take a jab at the {{Squick}} Maria's model in the game was revealed to have. It was swapped for the idea of "fighting an orphan" due to being a bit too on the nose.
19	** The alternate ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'' universe was originally intended to be standalone before the full release of ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkinMariosMadness'', before being repurposed as a ContinuityReboot that takes place after that mod's events.
20	** For the [[VideoGame/FridayNightFunkinDSides D-Sides universe]], its counterpart of Sonic was originally intended to take the position, though this was swapped to Mighty in the end.
21	* WordOfGay: Through [[https://www.tumblr.com/pico-digital-studios/744054387817791488/into-across-and-beyond-lgbt-headcanons?source=share this post]], the LGBT headcanons for various characters were revealed:

38	** Both [[Fanfic/WhatIfSonicLostHisMemory Lost Memory Sonic]] and [[VideoGame/FridayNightFunkinSoft Soft Boyfriend / Benjamin Fairest]] are not the same counterparts as their original sources, but alternate versions with their own changes.

40	** Antho is paid 100 rings and a free UsefulNotes/McDonalds meal each Tuesday for his likeness to appear on Gust Planet's billboards.

42	** [[Series/SpiderManJapan Takaya Yamashiro]]'s counterpart is the Sonic from ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes''.
43	** All the deaths that occurred as a result of [[spoiler:LM!Sonic's "canon event theory"]] are of [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/SonicExeOneMoreSaga OMT!Sonic, OMT!Vanilla and OMT!Sally (for OMT!Tails)]], Uncle Chuck (for CR!Sonic), the Sonic and Tails of OMT!Mina's world, Caffrin (for EX!Alice), Marc Smith (Nitro's father), Mobiverse Sonic, CU!Sonic's Amy, all of Hog's companions, [[Fanfic/WhatIfSonicLostHisMemory Silver from the Lost Memory universe]], [[VideoGame/SonicCDAlternativeEnding CD!Sonic's Tails and Amy]], the original [[VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin Boyfriend and Girlfriend]], Cassandra (first time via early intervention) and [[Franchise/MegaMan Proto Man/Blues]]]].
