Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
The opening alone is just awesome and really gets you excited before you start playing. Open Your Heart really adds an extra layer of epicness to it, as well.
Sonic Adventure 1, when Tails launches the Tornado I by making the palm trees bend over in what can only be a direct homage to Thunderbirds. Sonic's expression says it all.
Speaking of Tails in Sonic Adventure, who can forget him psyching himself up to fight Eggman alone... then doing it, saving Station Square all by himself? This seems to be the rare piece of Character Development in the franchise to stick too, as he does so a couple of times in the next game as well.
Nah, the most awesome part is that the city's effectively wrecked in two minutes anyway.
There was Amy's story in Sonic Adventure. After spending most of the story getting kidnapped and running away from a Killer Robot, she finally snaps into Mama Bear mode as soon as said robot hurts the bird she was trying to protect and utterly demolishes it. This is especially awesome since she started off merely fawning over Sonic being her hero, but with this moment, she finally became a hero in her own right.
Add to that her mere reasoning with another Killer Robot into becoming her friend. Then, in a similar fashion to her 2006 moment, defending it from Sonic. She'll value Sonic over the world, but she cares enough about others to stand up to him.
A mini moment of Awesome, but in E-102 Gamma's story in Sonic Adventure, the bot gets to fight and win against Sonic, a mere second from blowing his brains out point blank. Yeah it's an Anticlimax Boss, but it's the first and only point so far one of Eggman's badniks has managed to defeat Sonic one on one, and gives you an idea how dangerous Gamma may have been had it not been for his heart.
