History Fanfic / SonicGenerationsFriendshipIsTimeless

* Hammerspace: Referenced in passing, but also might explain how it works: stick object in quills/tail/mane/what-have-you, and done.

* WinsByDoingAbsoluteNothing: The Trope Namer is referenced in chapter 7 of ''Adventures on the Friendship Express'':

** For that matter, Luna was also livid after learning from Applejack that Eggman blew up his world's moon in half, to the point that she was ordered Shinning Armor to arrest him.

* CanonDiscontinuity: As season 3 of [=FiM=] was being broadcasted during the creation of the fic, the author's done a great job incorporating its canon into the story. [[spoiler:[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E13MagicalMysteryCure Twilight's still not an alicorn, though]] (she does, however, gain wings in chapter 17).]] The events of "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E10KeepCalmAndFlutterOn Keep Calm and Flutter On]]" also seem to have never happened (at least, not yet), since Discord is one of the {{Big Bad}}s.
** According to the bonus chapter "The Doctor and the Chaotician", [[spoiler:the events of this fanfic happen not too long before "Keep Calm and Flutter On".]]

** The kicker? He's not even halfway done with his speech at this point.

* VillainHasAPoint: Eggman is an evil man, but his ReasonYouSuckSpeech to the Mane 6 and Celestia about how they've treated Twilight as a tool, and have ignored her feelings is pretty dead on, especially since neither of them could really argue with it.

* BroughtDownToNormal: During the Changeling attack on Ponyville, Sonic uses the Chaos Emeralds to diable their ability to change shape. Given Chrysalis' reaction, this is probably permanent.

* ''VideoGame/ShadowThehedgehog'': Central City

* YouAreNotAlone: Like in the original game, everybody ([[HoldYourHippogriffs and everypony]]) shows up to help Sonic and the Mane 6 during the final boss battle. And it's more than twice the amount of characters than in the original game.

* YouAreNotAlone: Like in the original game, everybody ([[HoldYourHippogriffs and everypony]]) shows up to help Sonic and the Mane 6 during the final boss battle. And it's more than twice the amount of characters than in the original game.

** According to the Bonus Chapter "The Doctor and the Chaotician", [[spoiler:the events of this fanfic happen not too long before "Keep Calm and Flutter On".]]

Some time later, a SpinOff story has been released, entitled ''Adventures on the Friendship Express'', explaining exactly waht happened on the group's train ride to Canterlot. It can be found on Website/FanFictionDotNet [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9893193/ here]] and on Website/FimfictionDotNet [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/149663/adventures-on-the-friendship-express here]]. Stages used so far include:

Now has a Spin-off Story [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/149663/adventures-on-the-friendship-express Adventures on the Friendship Express]] which takes place while the gang is on their way to Canterlot.

* CrossoverShip: Played with; there isn't really any shipping between characters of the two different universes, but Shining Armor and Cadance THINK there's something going on between Sonic and Twilight. The few times they bring it up to them, though, they're completely confused.

''Sonic Generations: Friendship is Timeless'' is a {{Crossover}} FanFiction between ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' and ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'', created by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2025847 GreenSonic21.]] It can be found on FanFictionDotNet [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7891955 here]] and on [=FIMFiction.net=] [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/13892/sonic-generations-friendship-is-timeless here.]]

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

* 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.

* AuthorAppeal: Chapter 14 uses ''five different pieces of music'' all from [[http://www.youtube.com/user/KingSpartaX37 Delta Brony.]] [[AwesomeMusic/SonicGenerationsFriendshipIsTimeless They're all in this page, by the way.]]

* DramaQueen: Rarity, of course, from the second she turns back to normal. The narration ever refers to her as such. (She's the [[ImageSource trope image]] ''and'' the page quote for a good reason.) Even what she says is reminiscent of what she said before:

** Planet Wisp is also used but is not the main focus of the ''VideoGame/SonicColors'' section like in the original game.

* InterspeciesRomance: Between a pony (Twilight Sparkle) and a hedgehog (Sonic). Sonic claims they're JustFriends, though--that, and Princess Cadance saw no signs of love between the two of them.

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: During the trip to Canterlot, the train passes through [[VideoGame/SonicStorybookSeries the Arabian Nights and Camelot]] and actually stops for Rainbow Dash, Spitfire and Soarin to race (and win against) Lightning Dust and the Babylon Rogues.

* YouAreNotAlone: Like in the original game, everybody ([[HoldYourHippogriffs and everypony]]) shows up to help Sonic and the Mane 6 during the final boss battle. And it's more that twice the amount of characters than in the original game.

** ReferenceOverdosed: Not to the point of, say, ''FanFic/DoubleRainboom'', since most of the {{Shout Out}}s are to Sonic works. There's still a lot of those, though.

* CallForward[=/=]EarlyBirdCameo: Though not explicitly named, Flash Sentry from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'' cameos in chapter 18 as Pinkie Pie prepares Sonic's birthday party.

* FastballSpecial: Twice during the FinalBattle. First, [[spoiler: after Discord summoned [[SonicUnleashed the Werehog]] from Sonic's own Chaos Energy in the hopes of getting an extra ally, only for the Werehog to have a HeelFaceTurn after it was summoned, Super Sonic used it in this manner to distract Discord.]] Then, [[spoiler: after Discord managed to have a little more success with [[SonicAndTheBlackKnight a Black Knight version of Excalibur Sonic]] that was created from the Shadowbolts being blasted by the Element of Loyalty, after it turned on him because it was loyal to Princess Luna, when Discord pulled a YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness and made Black Knight Sonic start to disintegrate, he got a DyingMomentOfAwesome by using his {{BFS}} to pull one of these with Super Sonic, sending him right at the Time Eater so he could retrieve the Element of Magic.]]

* InterspeciesRomance: Between a pony (Twilight Sparkle) and a hedgehog (Sonic). Sonic claims they're JustFriends, though -- that, and Princess Cadance saw no signs of love between the two of them.

* CallForward[=/=]EarlyBirdCameo: Though not explicitly named, Flash Sentry from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'' cameos in chapter 18 as Pinkie Pie prepares Sonic's birthday party.

* 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 says this ''is'' a cameo.)
