History VideoGame / SonicRushSeries

* AmbiguouslyRelated: The FloatingContinent in ''Sonic Rush Adventure'' is named Sky Babylon and the boss of the region has the avian name of Ghost Condor, lightly suggesting that it is somehow connected to the Babylon Rogues of ''VideoGame/SonicRiders''.

* NonIndicativeName: In ''Sonic Rush Adventure'', it curious of Windmill Village not having a windmill. This is justified because the windmill is damaged behind Marine's house.. [[spoiler: Completing Mission 14 will rebuild the windmill, and it appears on Southern Island.]]

* DramaticIrony: How Sonic and Blaze's attributes match up is a total opposite of expectations. Blaze is a cat with fire abilities, but can endure longer in water than Sonic. On the other hand, Sonic, a hedgehog, outclasses Blaze in speed and agility to the point that Blaze even has a phobia of heights.

%%* IWorkAlone: Blaze, at first.

* TickleTorture: Strangely enough, [[spoiler: the final boss from ''Adventure'' is a giant tickling machine which Captain Whisker intends to use on Marine]].

Today's the day! Today's a new start!

!!The ''Sonic Rush'' series provides examples of:

* KingOfTheDinosaurs: The first boss of ''Adventure'' is a [[AnimalMecha mechanized]] ''Tyrannosaurus rex''.

* SpiritualSuccessor: These games are pretty similar to the ''VideoGame/{{Sonic Advance|Trilogy}}'' series. They in turn inspired the handheld versions of ''VideoGame/SonicColors'' and ''[[VideoGame/SonicGenerations Generations]]'', and the Boost mechanic would be adopted by the mainline 3D Sonic games starting with ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed''.

* WrongGenreSavvy: Marine is convinced ''she's'' the hero and ''Sonic, Tails and Blaze'' are her sidekicks. [[RantInducingSlight Blaze gets fed up with it eventually.]]

* MirrorBoss: The boss in Dead Line has access to a similar moveset as the player character, namely a soin jump, spin dash and the boost. However, they also have unique powers of their own: [[spoiler:Sonic can create tornadoes, while Blaze can raise pillars of fire]].

* CanonDiscontinuity: The origin of Eggman Nega being from the Sol Dimension has been rendered non-canon by later instalments. He's actually Eggman's descendant from 200 years into the future, the same time period that Silver is from as told ''VideoGame/SonicRivals'', and anything that says otherwise should simply be ignored. However, it's worth nothing that while in ''Rush'', Eggman Nega referred to Blaze's world as "my world" or "our world", in ''Rush Adventure'', which was released after ''Rivals'', he simply refers to it as "this world". Considering the type of person Eggman Nega is, it's not too farfetched that he'd lie about his origins and masquerade as a dimensional counterpart of Eggman to hide his true identity.

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: As Hideki Naganuma composed for the first game, it carries his trademark hodgepodge of genres and samples from other titles like Jet Set Radio and Ollie King. ''Rush Adventure'' didn't have him as a composer, though some of its soundtrack mimics his style anyway.

* NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: For the Super forms. Sonic Rush is one of the few times in the entire series where Super forms can actually take damage instead of simply getting hitstuned or slowed down. The SuperMove of the boss can actually cause damage, causing a significant loss of rings. Their regular attacks however, do only cause hitstun.

The ones with Blaze, the Boost gameplay, and two screens. Also, the second one is similar to ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaPhantomHourglass''.

* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: In the Extra Stage; where you play as Super Sonic and Burning Blaze. It is one of the very few times in the entire series that the enemy is directly capable of actually causing damage to Super forms; causing a significant loss of rings if either Eggman or Nega's SuperMove hits you.
