History VideoGame / SonicShuffle

* StopHelpingMe: If you're not aware of Sonic's special move at all times (playing the same number on consecutive turns doubles the amount of spaces you can move), you can overshoot where you're trying to go, since with the double-move you ''must'' move the required double amount of spaces. This problem is all the more baffling because Big has a similar special move only he CAN stop anywhere within the double-move.

The game was done by HudsonSoft, the same company who Nintendo trusted with the VideoGame/MarioParty series as well as the creators of popular multiplayer games like Bomberman. However, despite having the same people who worked on ''Mario Party'' work on the game, ''Sonic Shuffle'' failed to live up to ''Mario Party'''s success and is usually considered a dissapointment for reasons such as LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading, a AI of such a cheating degree that SaveScumming is almost required in single-player, and an overly complex ruleset for both the board game and minigame elements, still it did have some rather fun mini-games, so while it's not up to the standards or Mario Party, it can still be enjoyable if played with a group of friends.

''Sonic Shuffle'' is a ''{{Sonic the Hedgehog}}''-themed PartyGame for the SegaDreamcast that was released in November 2000.

* SceneryPorn: Maginaryworld's lands are ''pretty''.

* {{Trainstopping}}

* {{Expy}}: Lumina, for the Sega character VideoGame/NiGHTS. And Void for Reala, from the same series.

* RecycledInSpace: Some Mini Events take place in exotic locales and have premises like Eggman robbing Lumina and the player trying to catch him.

* OneHundredPercentCompletion: Getting all the pictures, mini games, mini events, [[spoiler: and unlockable characters]]

* ContemplateOurNavels: Lumina and Void both do this, angsting about their purpose and loneliness. [[spoiler:{{Justified}} as they are part of the same being; they fuse to bring Illumina back. In fact, it was Illumina's own contemplating that planted the seed of doubt that [[NiceJobBreakingItHero started this whole mess]].]]

* RockThemeNaming: Many of the Force Jewels. Preciousite, Carbuncle, and Barrier Amber.

* {{Whammy}}: The Eggman card will cause him to do something bad to the user. This can range from losing a turn to losing all your rings. In a battle, it makes you automatically lose.

However, despite having the same people who worked on ''Mario Party'' work on the game, ''Sonic Shuffle'' failed to live up to ''Mario Party'''s success and is generally considered a failure for reasons such as LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading, a AI of such a cheating degree that SaveScumming is almost required in single-player, a complex ruleset for both the board game and minigame elements, and lackluster minigames.

* ArtificialBrilliance: The AI can be very smart/lucky at times, even on easy.

* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Even on Easy, they seem to hit exactly the right numbers and steal your best cards (even when every player has a full deck!). They're very good in Mini-Games too, even luck-based ones. It is to the point where a player will need to [[SaveScumming save-scum]] to complete the one-player mode.

* LethalJokeCharacter: Two unlockable characters, [[spoiler: Big the Chat and Chao]], have special moves that are quite useful.

* NonIndicativeName: Despite being classified as a Force Jewel, Carbuncle is a fairy that eats them.

* TalkingToHimself: Sonic and Knuckles were voiced by Ryan Drummond in this game.
