| − | ==To do== | + | ==References guide== |
| − | *References to Sonic in sports that aren't sponsorships (including wrestling)
| + | The following is a list of commonly-encountered References issues. |
| − | *Commercials and Sponsorships
| |
| − | *Ensure all files are hosted at their appropriate websites; Sega/Sonic/CDN.
| |
| − | *Ensure all Reference article entries that feature both a Sonic and a non-Sonic reference have all refs listed on both their Sega and Sonic Retro entries.
| |
| − | *Reformat multiple-ref entries as nested ones like the Sonic Retro page (if possible.)
| |
| − | *So the reason Wreck-It Ralph's section doesn't mention the ''[[Hang-On]]'' inspired full-body taikan stuff is because that's such a popular shape for that type of hardware that it needs mentioning elsewhere. Which brings me to: This article needs brief summaries on "generic references" to very popular Sega things... i.e. the Hang-On style of sit-down motorcycle cabinet was so popular and widespread that pretty much anytime you see a fictional arcade with "sit-down motorcycle games", they're almost always a Hang-On "reference" (at least through inspiration.) The Music references article will need the same thing. So short of listing every piece of media featuring Hang-On-like sit-down motorcycle cabs, we can keep it to a brief section with a few examples and maybe an inline image.

| − | ===Questionable references===
| + | *'''Notability:''' Most published or aired references to Sega are included. However, particularly in the [[References to Sega/Internet|Internet]] category, we require a certain level of notability for new entries. |
| − | *In an episode of Samurai Jack, Jack obtains a pair of blue sneakers that gives him Super Speed and makes him run like Sonic, down to his legs forming an 8.{{ref|https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ReferencedBy/SonicTheHedgehog}} (doesn't really look like Sonic...) | + | *'''Sponsorships:''' Any officially-sponsored references, such as award shows or motorsports events, belong in [[Sponsorships]]. |
| − | *The background for the first segment of Mega Water S's stage from ''[[Mega Man: The Wily Wars]]'' looks like it may be a possible reference to Green Hill Zone's background{{ref|https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ReferencedBy/SonicTheHedgehog}}, but I'm not 100% sure... | + | *'''Recurring references:''' Any commonly-recurring references, such as a character in a television series, only need their first appearance listed. Ensure to note that said reference is a recurring one. |
| | + | *'''Multi-game shows:''' Any television series which cover numerous games by different companies, like ''[[wikipedia:GameCenter CX|GameCenter CX]]'', only need their first reference covered. Ensure to list any future references in the same listing. |
| | + | *'''Hardware in ''Sonic'' references:''' If a reference features someone playing a ''Sonic'' game, and it shows them using hardware required to play the game (like a [[Control Pad (Mega Drive)]] or [[Game Gear]]), that reference doesn't need to be copied here as well. |

| |
| − | *Big Wolf on Campus: In "Game Over", Tommy is attacked by a video game character named Dirk Strykem (an obvious parody of Duke Nukem) and tries to convince his friend Merton to help him. Merton doesn’t believe him, so he sarcastically replies that he’ll help him and asks if he should also keep an eye peeled for Sonic the Hedgehog.{{ref|https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ReferencedBy/SonicTheHedgehog}}
| |
| − | *For the Seinfeld entry (and get more from the original Segabits ref): "In "The Couch", when George attempts to rent the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's instead of reading the book, multiple rows of Sega Genesis games can be spotted behind him in the video rental store. Amongst these games are Sonic Spinball, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine." Wait this might be a second ref?
| |

GSTART, Kohaku Yudin's Pixel HERO Deck includes a few Monster Cards that reference this series (among others), including Speed Spike (Sonic), Chaos Needle (Shadow), and Chaos Speed Spike (Super Sonic, complete with an Expy of the Chaos Emeralds). According to the author, Kohaku's design also includes a few cues from Sonic, such as his green eyes, blue leg covering (shared reference to Mega Man), white gloves (shared reference to Mario), and blue spikes in the back of his hair.{{ref|https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ReferencedBy/SonicTheHedgehog}} | |
| − | *"In the Tokimeki PokéLive! and TwinBee story "Risa's and Emma's Double Trouble!?", Risa Selden directly quotes Sonic's "Real Superpower of Teamwork!" line from Sonic Heroes when sending out her Eevee against Team Rocket."{{ref|https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ReferencedBy/SonicTheHedgehog}}

| |
| − | *While Mario's blue Porcupo enemy was created before Sonic was, verify if any of the later games played up the eventual connection. I'd imagine a magazine or two definitely did, but did any manuals? Official sources? And where is [https://weirdmarioenemies.tumblr.com/post/623904510899847168/should-you-ask-most-people-who-they-deem-to-be this] from?
| |
| − | *To expand Blue Stinger entry: There's a Stamp Rally character with a very Sonic-like face and eyes. | |
| − | *Ensure both Rad Mobile and Gale Racer are listed.
| |
| − | *For expanding the existing entry: In Bug!, Sonic appears in Reptilia, once in a bonus level where the title character holds a footrace against him, and again in a secret hard-to-reach area. If you turn on the cheat that makes Bug able to move anywhere, you can actually move up to him and kill him for laughs.{{ref|https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ReferencedBy/SonicTheHedgehog}}
| |
| − | *The Bayonetta ref should stay, but needs explanation that it's not actually a Sonic ref, and details why.{{ref|https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ReferencedBy/SonicTheHedgehog}}{{ref|https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ReferencedBy/SonicTheHedgehog}} Probably needs a separate entry from the film poster one?

| |
| − | *Scott Pilgrim (game) - The "Change coins into animals" code is not only a reference to the animals in the Prison Egg capsules, but the code (Up, Up, Down, Down, Up, Up, Up, Up) is the same as Sonic The Hedgehog 3's insanely hard level select and sound test code.{{ref|https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ReferencedBy/SonicTheHedgehog}}

| − | *Tabletop: Dino Attack RPG: Member Kotua in Space was a huge fan of the series, and his writing contains many references to it. Most infamously, Chaos was based upon the water creature of the same name from Sonic Adventure, with the Chaos Emeralds used by Kotua being a recurring element of the series. The XERRD scientist Dr. Robert Nicholas is inspired by Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik. Dr. Nicholas was first seen in a hovercraft with a wrecking ball, a tribute to Dr. Robotnik's first boss battle in the first game.{{ref|https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ReferencedBy/SonicTheHedgehog}}
