Just adding a trope where it seemed appropriate.


* ShaggyDogStory: The heroes ultimately fail in each act: they're defeated be Sonic Man and M'egga Man, resulting in the worlds being united; they're overwhelmed when they storm Sigma's base; and even after defeating Sigma himself, they can't undo the damage he's done to reality. Things are only salvaged because Xander turns back the clock.



* TooCleverByHalf: Eggman and Wily [[UnwillingRoboticization transform Sonic and Mega Man into Roboticized Masters]] under Sigma's orders. However, the two scientists secretly programmed in a secondary objective into the two robots that would have them restore each other to normal and fight Sigma once the two worlds were merged. Sonic Man and M'Egga Man do indeed end up fighting undoing each other's corruption, but the intention was for this to happen in Sigma's base in the Lost Hex. When Sigma sees Sonic and Mega Man freed from his control, he immediately realizes what Eggman and Wily's plan and orders the Deadly Six to find them.

* ADogNamedDog: "Felyne" is the name of the species of catlike creatures that sometimes help Monster Hunters, while "Palico" is a name for the occupation of doing so. Used here because Palicos have randomly-generated/player-given names in the games.

* TheCameo:
** The unnamed pink-haired navigator in ''VideoGame/MegaManMaverickHunterX'' makes a one-panel cameo during X's flashback to the Day of Sigma in Part 4, fruitlessly attempting to contact Maverick Hunter units.
** The Off Panel comic in ''Sonic Universe'' #77 features Mama Robotnik from ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'' and even the ''[[WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster Captain N]]'' version of Mega Man of all characters.
** [[VideoGame/FantasyZone Opa-Opa]] appears for a single panel in the foreground when Sigma approaches the Freedom Fighters' base. He was never recruited by the others and doesn't appear afterwards. He just happened to be flying through the rift during Sigma's advance.



* CelebrityParadox: of a sort. The Palicos X and Sticks encounter with the X-Hunters are wearing Sonic and Mega Man-themed gear (which yes, you can actually get in ''Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate''). Nobody notices this.

* DubNameChange: Inverted. Ian Flynn personally dislikes the Music/GunsNRoses MusicalThemeNaming for the ''VideoGame/MegaManX5'' Mavericks and so refers to them by names based on their Japanese ones (a change that Capcom would later make official to the English scripts in the ''Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2'' release of ''X5'') - or in the case of Duff [=McWhalen=], his actual Japanese name "Tidal Makkoeen"[[note]]Flynn admitted that was an editorial slip-up.[[/note]] - during the third act. Ergo, Vyse cannot claim he once fought a robot named "Duff [=McWhalen=]".
* EarlyBirdCameo: [[spoiler: Chun-Li shows up near the end of Part 6 (''Sonic Boom'' #9) after Sticks gets tossed into a Genesis portal during the battle outside Sigma's fortress and winds up in the ''Street Fighter'' world.]]

* ComicBookAdaptation: The main plot is essentially Archie's adaptation of ''VideoGame/SonicLostWorld'', what with the Deadly Six and the plot of draining the planet's power for the villain's schemes. It's also, in a way, their contribution to [[VideoGame/CapcomVs Capcom's Vs series]].

* WhamEpisode:
** Act 1 starts with Sonic captured and roboticized into Sonic Man, while Mega Man is captured and converted into M'Egga Man. They are completely unstoppable throughout but are turned back to normal by the next act.
** Team Dark, including Shadow, are among those who ''perish'' during the fusing of Sonic amd Mega Man's worlds. They remain dead until the end of the storyline, when [[ResetButton Xander destroys Sigma in the past, resetting the timeline]].



* BadassNormal: Roll is just a robot girl with only a rocket powered broom. But she manages to hold her own against the onslaught Sticks brings down on her in the simulator room.

* ShatteredWorld: Unlike the first crossover, this story doesn't [[CosmicRetcon overwrite]] ''Sonic's'' world, as the planet is still broken up into multiple shards as part of the series' ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'' adaptation. It only gets worse when Sigma combines Mobius and Mega Man's world together.

** [[spoiler:Eggman, Wily, and Xander to Sigma as well. Sigma never anticipated that he could be defeated if anybody actually ''found'' the Unity Engine, let alone tamper with it. Xander in particular uses the Engine's power to pinpoint when Sigma jumped to Mobius and blasted him, negating the whole crossover.]]
