Sonic Storybook Series/YMMV


Here are the various subjective tropes used throughout the Sonic Storybook Series.

General:

Sonic and the Secret Rings:

  • Crowning Moment of Heartwarming/ Tastes Like Diabetes /Narm: The ending.
  • Complete Monster: Erazor Djinn for multiple reasons. He blackmailed Sonic with a inevitably fatal curse if he didn't gather the World Rings for him whilst having no intention whatsoever of removing the curse if Sonic did fulfill the terms, intending to use him as a ritual sacrifice to gain the true power of said rings. He tried to murder Sonic, but only succeeded in killing Shahra in his place, and even though Shahra's killing was unintended, he still had a Kick the Dog moment in mocking her comparitively weak magical power as a genie. On top of that, he even had the audacity to manipulate Shahra into stopping Sonic from dealing with him. She doesn't, however. He was defiant right to the very end, even whilst Sonic was dooming him to his eternal prison before throwing him in lava.
  • Hilariousinhindsight: From the PC complilation of Sonic 3 & Knuckles came the Sonic screensavers. One of them featured a genie lamp. Then, over 10 years later...
  • Most Wonderful Sound: The sound Pearls make when they are collected.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Erazor's very gruesome and agonizing-sounding transformation into Alf Layla Wa Layla.
  • That One Level: Dinosaur Jungle - Mission 10: "Get the Pterosaur Egg!". You must find four dinosaur eggs scattered throughout a small course and take them to their nests. One problem: each egg belongs in a specific nest and the eggs' locations are all randomized. Combine all this with controls that are more tuned for going forwards than anything related to exploration, and you got a mission that will wear out its welcome in no time flat.
  • The Woobie: Sonic. He has to deal with a magical flame arrow jutting out of his heart which continually saps his energy as a result of his selflessness, has a time limit to fulfill the request of retrieving the World Rings or the curse will kill him, experiences fatigue from the curse occasionally, has to juggle with the idea that he'll be killed whether he does it or not, and then is faced by Shahra's death and his rather painful-looking forced transformation into Darkspine Sonic. On top of that, the poor guy is suffering with a cold throughout the game as well.
