* TheMillstone: Tails can make Sonic fatter even when ''he himself'' collects rings.

Added DiffLines:

* HollywoodHeartAttack: {{Averted|trope}}; despite this game's comical depiction of obesity, Sonic doesn't have an overly exaggerated heart attack once he gets too fat. Instead, he sits motionless and stares off with a weary face before giving his DeathThrows.

Added DiffLines:

* UnintentionallyUnwinnable:
** If you somehow manage to get Fat Sonic past the Wing Fortress boss and the ? Monitor after it (by using debug mode) you can't complete the level. Sonic is too fat to jump high enough to jump onto Tails' plane and will miss and fall to his death instead.
** It's entirely possible to avoid taking the [[AntiFrustrationFeature ? Monitor right before the bosses]], causing you to have to fight Robotnik as a fatter and thus more hampered Sonic. In certain cases the boss might become outright unwinnable (such as Oil Ocean if Sonic is too weighty to jump back to the platform).

Trope deprecated per TRS


* HardLevelsEasyBosses: The main gameplay is very hard now due to the Onion Ring mechanic, but the bosses are as easy as ever, at least if you fight them as normal Sonic. It also helps that several boss stages place a "?" diet monitor right before the boss fight, ensuring that Sonic will be fit enough ([[UnwinnableByInsanity unless the player doesn't want to grab it]]).

Dummied Out is now trivia. Moving examples accordingly.


* DummiedOut: Tails is cut off from being playable on his own, since he's not affected by the onion rings.

** Grabbing rings in Special Stages will ''not'' bloat up Sonic or kill him, as it would make them flat out {{Unwinnable}} otherwise.

* PowerUpFood: Absolutely inverted by the onion rings. Sonic loses his abilities as they make him fatter.

Gameplay wise, it is virtually identical to the original game, but also parodies the rom hack trend of making the rings hazardous (e.g. the hack ''OMG The Red Rings'') by adding one major twist to the gameplay--the rings are all changed into Onion Rings. Every five rings Sonic grabs, he gets fatter, which changes the gameplay considerably and makes the experience a lot harder overall. It goes from just slowing Sonic down and hindering his jump to disabling his spindash and even making him spin out of control if he goes down a slope. If he grabs 30 consecutive rings (or busts open two consecutive 10 ring monitors) he'll become so obese that he becomes immobile, promptly dying of a heart attack seconds after. The upside is that Sonic can work off his weight by simply running around enough and avoiding rings as much as possible (or by simply smashing the new "?" monitors sitting around, which instantly reverts him back to normal).

* DeathByGluttony: This will happen to Sonic if he takes too many Onion Rings without walking off the fats. He'll become immobile and die of a heart attack.

* UnwinnableByDesign: It's entirely possible to get stuck in spots where Sonic can't jump out of if he's too fat and there's too little room for him to run around and work off the fat, forcing the player to either let an enemy kill them or let the timer run out. Hill Top Zone is really nasty in this regard, since even the first stage of Fat Sonic can keep him from jumping to safety and trap him in the lava pits.
