!!This webcomic provides examples of:

* AccidentalPervert: TJ accidentally sees Jenny Wily getting into her bath naked because its in the villain's base.
* ActionGirl: Kari, Akuma's main rival is just as dedicated to prove her worth as a fighter as Akuma is.
* AdaptationalVillainy: [[LegionOfDoom The Ministry]] has Android 17 and Julie-Su working for them, despite being an anti-hero and full hero in canon.
* AdaptationalWimp: It's revealed that Dr Wily was the real creator of [[VideoGame/MegaMan4 the Cossack Robot Masters]], and that the robots Dr Cossack actually made were rather weak.
* AntiVillain
** The Undertaker is driven by an ambition to gain great power, works with villains like Dr Eggman, but [[NobleDemon has a code of conduct]], tries to avoid attacking the innocent, and sometimes [[PetTheDog does good deeds purely out of altruism]], such as rescuing [[Anime/SonicX Cosmo the Seedrian]].
** Jenny Wily is either this or an AntiHero. She tries to cause havoc with Robot Masters and has some interest in world domination, but doesn't harm people and ultimately wants to prove her and her father's superiority over Mega Man and Dr Light.
* ArchEnemy
** Silver Fox and Subrosian(aka [[VideoGame/KnucklesChaotix Mighty the Armadillo]] under a new name), mainly on Silver Fox's end; having been defeated Subrosian he feels humiliated that a single being best him where the armies of his world had failed.
** [[VideoGame/MegaMan3 Doc Robot]] is this to Jenny Wily. [[YouKilledMyFather He killed Dr Wily]] and competes with her on a scientific level.
** Sonic eventually becomes this to the Undertaker, having used the factor of unpredictability to give him his first defeat.
* ArtEvolution: As time passes the sprites and texts become more developed, owing to the writer's improvement as an artist.
* AuthorAvatar: Akuma the Hedgehog started as this for the author, being a more exaggerated representation. Later on The Pixelated Penguin serves the role of being a more in-character avatar.
* AuthorPowers: Early on in the strip Akuma was the AuthorAvatar and had author powers, however he stored it away [[BloodKnight so he could have proper challenges]]. This power later manifested into [[LiteralSplitPersonality Overseer Akuma]].
* BloodKnight: [[Franchise/StreetFighter Like his namesake]], Akuma lives for a good fight.
* CainAndAbel: Kilo, who's modeled after [[Franchise/StarFox Fox McCloud]][[note]]he stole stuff from him[[/note]], is the no good pirate older brother to the heroic Tails.
* CannibalismSuperpower: The Sprite Eater was capable of replicating sprites that it had eaten in the past to be used offensively, along with [[PowerCopying copying their powers]].
* {{Crossover}}: Characters from other comics on the MG Comics website sometimes show up in the comic. One of the antagonists in the comic, Silver Fox, was originally from a fanfiction where [[WesternAnimation/SonicSATAM Dr Robotnik from the SATAM continuity]] roboticized Tails the Fox, [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters only to rebel and become a greater villain]].
* CrossoverShip: [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]] and [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Wendy Koopa]] become a couple. [[ComicBook/UsagiYojimbo Miyamoto Usagi]] used to be an item with Vanilla the Rabbit, and Cream is his long-lost daughter.
* TheDragon: Dr Eggman serves as the Undertaker's second in command within [[LegionOfDoom the Ministry]], and is put in charge of operations while the Undertaker is gone.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The early comic had a number of stereotypes with sprite comics; an AuthorGuestSpot, BreakingTheFourthWall, Sonic being considered stupid and [[PaletteSwap Pallette Swaps]]. Over time it became more story and character-focused.
* {{Elseworld}}: The "Twist of Fate" subcomic is a homage to this that deals with WhatIf and alternate universe stories, starting with "what if Bowser kept the arranged marriage instead of letting Sonic and Wendy Koopa date?"
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: When Evil Sonic and Amy have the concept of [[LaserGuidedKarma karma]] explain to them, they get the gist of "do bad things and bad things happen to you" but assume all that means is "do enough good deeds to counter-act your bad deeds and then you can go back to being a bad person". They're rather confused when this doesn't happen.
* EvilKnockoff: Doc Robot creates a knockoff of Bass called [=4T=], who's a mildly discolored copy that's also able to change his size due to being part Yellow Devil.
* FanCreatedOffspring: TJ (son of Amy Rose and Tails the Fox) and Jenny Wily (daughter of [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Dr Wily]]). [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] by Lily Koopa, who is the canon Koopaling's mother.
* FusionDance: Akuma ends up merging with his EvilKnockoff Shin Akuma, who becomes a SuperMode of his.
* GenerationXerox: TJ (short for Tails Junior) looks just like his dad Tails, and is even more of a genius than he is.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: Dr Wily tries to leave [[LegionOfDoom the Ministry]], only for Doc Robot to declare this non-negotiable and kill him.
* HeelFaceTurn: Bowser ends up reforming. Surprisingly so does [[WesternAnimation/SonicSATAM SATAM Robotnik]] [[EnemyMine due to teaming up with the Freedom Fighters]] against Silver Fox and being saved at the last moment.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Evil Sonic and Amy were able to run amuck in their own universe, but once they enter the Akumaverse misfortune soon finds them.
* [[LastOfHisKind Last Of Her Kind]]: Cosmo is the last apparent survivor of her own universe, as she narrowly escaped its destruction.
* LegionOfDoom: The Ministry, a VillainTeamup led by the Undertaker out of his ambitions to become the strongest fighter out there.
* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: Practically any series that the author likes co-exists in the same 'verse.
* MirrorUniverse: Evil Sonic and Evil Amy, [[UnholyMatrimony a psychotic couple]] with flipped morality to the Sonic and Amy we know.
* MsFanservice: [[RobotGirl Julia Robotnik]] is an attractive woman in a form-fitting red dress, which Eggman uses to win a science expo.
* MoralGuardians: William Right of the Right To Censor shows up to censor any NSFW content in the strip, and will destroy any unedited NSFW copies. (not sure if it fits this trope)
* PaletteSwap: A number of early characters were this, or ones that have been around since the start such as Akuma being a Super Sonic colored like the Franchise/StreetFighter character. [[ArtEvolution Eventually Akuma and others would gain more distinct appearances]].
* PetTheDog: The Undertaker is a power hungry figure looking to increase his strength and is mostly out for himself, however he sometimes does charitable things for the sake of it; for example he saves [[Anime/SonicX Cosmo]] from having to pull a HeroicSacrifice. Sadly this doesn't stop Dark Oak's destruction, but it's the thought that counts.
* PlanetEater: Sprite Eaters are the SpriteComic equivalent, who usually show up to already dying/dead worlds and end its misery. However the one who attacked this comic was malicious and invaded prematurely.
* PowerCopying: This is the Undertaker's basic power, which he refines as the comic progresses.
* PoweredArmor: Tails uses an armor based on [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Samus']] for combat.
* PrimalScene: How Tails "got" TheTalk from Sonic sometime between the first two Sonic games.
-->'''Woman''': "So that's why you're called the fastest thing alive..."
-->'''Sonic''': "Shut up!"
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Bowser and the Koopalings are biological family, though admittedly this was before it was established Bowser Jr is Bowser's only child. We even meet their mother, [[OriginalCharacter who doesn't exist in canon]].
* TheRival: Being a fighting series there are many cases of this, with the biggest one being between [[ActionGirl Kari]] and Akuma.
* SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains: Evil Amy dresses in a black {{Stripperific}} costume compared to the regular Amy's costume.
* TheSoulless: The Undertaker is immune to his own soul-seeking attacks because he doesn't have a soul. Other than that, it doesn't affect his personality.
* SuperMode: In addition to his Super and [[VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles Hyper]] Forms, Sonic achieves an even higher form of Doma Sonic to compete with Akuma. Other characters get super forms, and Sonic works to better refine his new forms rather than achieve even greater ones.
* TournamentArc: One of the earliest stories in the comic was a tournament for the Chaos Emeralds.
* TrulySingleParent: [[FanCreatedOffspring Jenny Wily]] was created by Dr Wily as a test tube baby.
* UnknownRival: [[GlitchEntity Ashura]] considers Shadow his greatest rival and believes he should have his position in the games. Shadow would rather just ignore him.
* VillainousLegacy: The Sprite Eater creates the Undertaker, who serves as the main antagonist from then on.
* YearInsideHourOutside: Amy and Tails end up in [[AnotherDimension a void]] for what seems like a brief time, but was for them years. Enough they ended up falling for one another and having a kid.
* YouKilledMyFather: The Undertaker has beef against Akuma for killing his father, the Sprite Eater. Jenny Wily has similar beef for Doc Robot doing this to her as well, and him making rip-off designs of her dad's Robot Masters certainly doesn't help.
