The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at the Trope Launch Pad.

Textbook example of both Captain Ersatz and Writing Around Trademarks - the former for changing up the character just enough to be distinct from both Sonic.exe and Sonic (but yeah it's totally Sonic.exe) , the latter for avoiding lawsuit bait like directly using the name Sonic

In Pillar Chase 2, PCX's (this game's version of Sonic.exe) upcoming bestiary entry refers to Sonic as the "Blue Blur".
It's clearly referring to Sonic, just not saying his name so Sega doesn't take down the game or something
