* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Chapter 7, which represents ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'', uses the Lost World and Windy Valley stages. The author was considering adding Twinkle Park to the chapter, and one scene he had in mind involved the house of mirrors Amy goes through in her playthrough of the game, where Sonic and Tails would have seen their classic selves in the mirror and the ponies and Spike would have seen their G1 counterparts instead of their normal reflection (which could have led to a joke about Twilight's mother looking similar to G1 Twilight).

''Sonic Generations: Friendship is Timeless'' is a {{Crossover}} FanFiction between ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' and ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'', created by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2025847/GreenSonic21 GreenSonic21.]] It can be found [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7891955 here.]]

The events of the intro cutscene of Sonic Generations still occured like in the original: Sonic's friends set up a surprise bithday party for him, Sonic shows up to it and then the Time Eater also shows up shortly afterwards sending Sonic's friends to different parts of Sonic's history.

However, before that happened, the Mane 6 and some of their friends were having a picnic in Ponyville when the Time Eater also shows up and sends the ponies to different parts of Sonic's history.

Now the ponies must join these strange new creatures from another world and destroy this eminent threat that is threatening both of their worlds. Truths will be revealed, lies will be ripped out, and two worlds' fates and a friendship will hang in the balance.

Like in Sonic Generations, the story is divided into three parts:
# Classic Era: Chapters 2-6
# Dreamcast Era: Chapters 7-11
# Modern Era: Chapters 12-15

!!This FanFic contains examples of the following tropes:
* AdaptationExpansion: Despite the fanfic still taking the same games that Sonic Generations took, it does not take most of the levels. Green Hill is still used, but the levels after that are completely different. Some of the events of the original game are also modified: Tails fights Metal Sonic instead of Sonic himself, Nightmare Moon is the boss of the Classic Era instead of the Death Egg Robot and the Final Hazard takes Perfect Chaos's place, to name a few examples.
* AscendedExtra: [[VideoGame/SonicRushSeries Marine]], who only makes a cameo in the original game, plays a very important role in chapter 14. [[VideoGame/SonicColors Orbot and Cubot]] also make an appearance, despite not being featured at all in the original game.
* {{Big Bad}}s: Discord and Dr. Eggman.
* TheCameo: Lyra and Bon-Bon follow the group to Chun-nan in chapter 13 and Lyra freaks out when she sees the humans there. (WordOfGod claims this ''is'' a cameo.)
* CanonDiscontinuity: The author's done a great job incorporating the Season 3 canon into the story. [[spoiler:Twilight's not an alicorn, though.]] The events of "Keep Calm and Flutter On" also seem to have never happened, since Discord is one of the {{Big Bad}}s.
* ContinuityNod: Right in the first chapter.
** Discord once again drinks a glass with chocolate milk, throwing the milk away. Sonic wonders if he puts nitroglycerine in the milk.
* GreenHillZone: Unlike in the original game, only the TropeNamer's used.
* HeyThatsMyLine:
-->'''Dr. Eggman''': We'll see who has issues after I've taken care of both Sonic and the Spirits of Harmony… FOREVER!\\
'''Pinkie Pie''': HEY! That's my line!
* HubLevel: Ponyville takes the place of the {{White Void|Room}} in this story. The portal to the Final Boss is located in Canterlot, though.
* LetsDuet: Sonic and Twilight sing a song together in chapter 13. Tails and Trixie also sing a couple of lines.
* PaintingTheMedium: There are links to music (well, the [=URLs=] are listed, anyway) at the end of the chapter to be used as events in the story. It's not quite as effective as ''Fanfic/AceCombatTheEquestrianWar'' or ''FanFic/ChaoticHarmony'', though.
** This could have something to do with the story being hosted on Website/FanFictionDotNet, which does not allow links to be placed in stories, while the other stories are hosted on [=FiMfiction.net=], which does.
* PlotCoupon: There are 13: the 7 Chaos Emeralds and the 6 Elements of Harmony. One of each even gets TakenForGranite, but like the Pure Hearts in ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'', they still work after returning to normal.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Princess Celestia and Princess Luna actually do some fighting at several points in the story. Shining Armor also counts, since one of the guards refers to him as a prince and he does take place in the action.
* ShoutOut: There's so many shout outs in this story that [[ShoutOut/SonicGenerationsFriendshipIsTimeless it needs a separate page for it.]]
* SpoilerTitle: {{Averted|Trope}}. Chapter 13 is listed with a ? in place of Trixie's name, hiding her presence in the chapter.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Chapter 7, which represents ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'', uses the Lost World and Windy Valley stages. The author was considering adding Twinkle Park to the chapter, and one scene he had in mind involved the house of mirrors Amy goes through in her playthrough of the game, where Sonic and Tails would have seen their classic selves in the mirror and the ponies and Spike would have seen their G1 counterparts instead of their normal reflection (which could have led to a joke about Twilight's mother looking similar to G1 Twilight).
