Editing Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood (section)

==Trivia==
*[[Team Rose]] is mistakenly called "Team Amy" in the game.
*[[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]] is never playable at the same time when [[Shade the Echidna]] is.
*Blue Ridge Zone, like Station Square, is named after a real-world location—the [[wikipedia:Blue Ridge Mountains|Blue Ridge Mountains]].
*In the game's intro, Shade the Echidna is shown in the [[Mystic Ruins]]. This is impossible to achieve in the main game, because the player can't return to the Mystic Ruins after they unlock Shade. Also, a different section of the intro shows the team in [[Metropolis Ground Zero]], but with only three characters on the team: Sonic, Amy, and Rouge. Normally, the team would had four characters long before this point. These are likely from a beta version, and were never removed from the intro.
*This game includes a lot of references to past ''Sonic'' features, such as [[Green Hill]], the first version of the Tornado, [[Swat-Bot]]s (from the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' animated series and the comic series by Archie Comics), [[Metropolis Zone]], [[Capsule]]s, and a [[Sega Mega Drive]], as well as Station Square in Blue Ridge Zone.
*After completing the game, the player can start a [[wikipedia:New Game Plus|new game]] while inheriting some gameplay data aspects of that completed game file. This includes the following:
**Levels of all characters (the total number of Points assigned to POW Moves is still reset for each character).
**All Equipment, Consumables and Chao
**All Rings collected via exploration (such Rings do not respawn).
*During Chapter 10, when facing the [[Gizoid Centurion]]s and [[Prefect Charyb]] underwater, the characters involved will lose a lot of points in their Defense stats for the rest of the game. The effects carry over if a new game is started from the previous data, but because all the other characters start from level 1 again, only Sonic is affected by the carry over.
*This is the first ''Sonic'' game since ''[[Sonic R]]'' to have one of the emeralds appear in a different color such as orange and pink. The Japanese release of ''Sonic Chronicles'' changes the color of this emerald to match up with its traditional appearance.
*On the FAQ on the website for the English version, Vector is called "Vector the Alligator."
*Though the strategy guide confirms '''five''' [[Viral Chao]], only Stugs has been officially allowed for use. The Japanese version added three in an easily obtainable manner, leaving only one unused in that version. All five are in the game data and can be glitched into the game via hacking.
*This is also the first game to feature Chao interactivity since ''[[Sega Superstars]].''
*Many of the musical tracks used in the game are remixed versions of themes from previous and the classic ''Sonic'' games. The reason for this is unknown.
*In Blue Ridge Zone, an old man says a boy named [[Timothy|Timmy]] is in a well, an obvious reference to the 1980 film, "Lassie".
*One of the knickknacks in [[Nestor]]'s home is a [[Sega Mega Drive]] controller.
*This is the second handheld ''Sonic'' game with artwork not done by current ''Sonic'' character artist, [[Yuji Uekawa]], the first being ''[[Sonic Battle]]''.
*Throughout the course of the game, the player has the choice to engage in a romantic subplot between Sonic and Amy.
*Chapter 6 is called "Black Hole Sun" in the game, is the title of a song performed by the American grunge band, Soundgarden, from their fourth studio album, ''Superunknown''.
*The image in the top screen of the party selection mode depicts Amy drawn with normal gloves, like the ones Sonic wears, unlike the golden bracelets she usually wears.
*According to [[Ian Flynn]], head writer on [[Archie Comics]], the game takes place a few years after the main timeline;<ref name="Flynn">{{Cite web|url=http://www.tssznews.com/2014/02/17/flynn-updates-readers-on-new-sonic-comic-continuity/|archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20200531210604/http://www.tssznews.com/2014/02/17/flynn-updates-readers-on-new-sonic-comic-continuity/|title=Flynn Updates Readers on New Sonic Comic Continuity|first=Tristan|last=Oliver|work=TSSZ News|date=17 February 2014|archivedate=31 May 2020|accessdate=8 December 2020}}</ref> however, former Sega Europe community manager Kevin Eva stated that fans should consider the game an alternate universe due to its troubled production, but noted that the canon is essentially in constant flux at any given time for Sega's convenience.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://board.sonicstadium.org/topic/19847-segas-secret-sonic-bible-that-well-probably-never-see-to-mars/page/10/#comment-964735|title=Sega's Secret Sonic Bible that we'll probably never see "TO MARS!"|first=Kevin|last=Eva|work=The Sonic Stadium|date=17 August 2015|accessdate=20 August 2015}}</ref>
**''[[Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclo-speed-ia]]'' would later reiterate the above statement, describing ''Sonic Chronicles'' as a "non-canon adventure".
*Before the official launch, Sega released a ''Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood'' browser mini game for social networks like [[Wikipedia:Windows Live|Windows Live]], [[Wikipedia:Facebook|Facebook]], and [[Wikipedia:MySpace|MySpace]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sonicstadium.org/2008/09/official-sonic-chronicles-mini-game-launched/|title=Official Sonic Chronicles Mini Game launched!|date=6 September 2008|accessdate=17 April 2021|work=The Sonic Stadium|first=Adam|last=Tuff}}</ref>
*In an early preview for ''Sonic Chronicles'', it is stated that the game contains a remix of the [[Green Hill Zone (Sonic the Hedgehog)|Green Hill Zone]] theme from the original ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (1991)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]''. Despite this, no such theme is present in the final game, with the [[Green Hill Zone (Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood)|Green Hill Zone]] map using its own unique theme as opposed to a remixed one. It is unclear whether a remixed theme was present in review builds of the game, or if the reviewer made an error.<ref name="GHZ">{{Cite web |url=http://palgn.com.au/article.php?id=12465&sid=1177feb31d49874f8cf27628c09e048e |title=Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood Preview |work=Palgn |date=12 September 2008|accessdate=17 December 2023 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081218205443/http://palgn.com.au/article.php?id=12465&sid=1177feb31d49874f8cf27628c09e048e |author=Joseph Rositano |archivedate=18 December 2008 |quote='''Joseph Rositano''': As for the game's soundtrack, fans will easily recognise many familiar tunes, particularly a remix of the classic Green Hill Zone theme.}}</ref>
