Line 14:
* [[Canon Discontinuity]]: [[Word of God]] says that the Chaotix were re-imagined for ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'', not re-appearing. Also referenced in [[Sonic Generations]], which has Mighty's last appearance at 1993.
* [[Canon Immigrant]]: Espio made his debut here before making appearances in other media. Mighty the Armadillo is a Canon ''Emigrant'', having first appeared in ''[[Sega Sonic the Hedgehog]]''.
** Vector was supposed to have first appeared in the [[Sound Test]] from Sonic 1, as part of Sonic's band. While the idea was discarded, he got to make a [http://manga.portalsonic.com/index.php?date=2010-06-29 cameo] in the very first Sonic manga, in 1991. As for Charmy Bee, he first appeared in [http://manga.portalsonic.com/index.php?date=2010-11-25 another] Sonic manga at around 1992.
* [[Cap]]: The game has a cap of 255 rings instead of 999. Then any other rings collected are turned into points.
** There is a cap the other way as well. You can get as low as -99 rings. Anything below that and you are sent back to the attractions screen. You lose rings by calling your partner.
** You are sent back to the attractions screen if hit with anything under 0 rings.
** Also, you can only take 200 rings into a Special Stage. Anything above that is simply lost.
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Mighty the Armadillo is literally just an edited Sonic sprite. Which makes the appearance of Sonic in the ending pretty strange.
* [[Circus of Fear]]: The "Speed Slider" level. It's more like a cheery roller coaster, but [[Creepy Circus Music]] plays during the merry-go-round boss battle.
* [[Comic Book Adaptation]]: In both [[Sonic the Hedgehog (comics)|Archie comic]] (as a 48-page special) and ''[[Sonic the Comic]]'' (as a five-part serial).
** And the characters became regulars for a long while, in comparison to the many years before their [[Sonic Heroes|next appearance]].
* [[Credits Medley]]: The only non-main line Sonic game with one.
* [[Dummied Out]]: Tails. Also, sprites of him in the Tornado, and Super Sonic have been found within the ROM.
* [[Easter Egg]]: Amy in the sound test menu.
Line 29:
* [[Fan Nickname]]: "Wechnia", for the [[Dummied Out]] character called "**********" by the game, because he appears as a glitched, white Knuckles. Research on the game's prototypes eventually revealed he actually was Tails.
* [[Flight]]: Instead of spin-dashing, Charmy does this to get around. It is a complete and utter [[Game Breaker]], since he has no "cooldown" period.
** However, Charmy can't jump in the traditional sense, so he takes a bit of getting used to. But yes. If you want a ridiculously easy game experience, wait until you get to Techno Tower, which can be done in less than a minute with Charmy.
* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]]: At the end, Robotnik and Metal Sonic are defeated and fly off together into the background... and a [[One-Winged Angel|gigantic snarling red demonic Metal Sonic]] suddenly rises into the screen and proceeds to try to smash and blast you into paste.
* [[Golden Ending]]: Accessible only if you've collected all of the Chaos Rings. If you miss one, you get the bad ending where Eggman's giant robot destroys the island.
Line 35:
* [[Idle Animation]]: Every character has one...
** [[Easter Egg]]: ...And if you leave them idle for a minute, {{spoiler|Metal Sonic shows up and shoots at you.}}
* [[In
* [[Joke Character]]: Heavy and Bomb.
* [[Lethal Joke Character]]: Heavy the Mechanic is completely indestructible. In fact, he can open monitors and destroy enemies just by walking into them. You could pretty much pick him up and run around with reckless abandon while holding him in front of you, barely suffering any damage. Taken into better effect if you break a monitor that's showing him, or -- more permanently -- select him as your player character through the debug menu.
