Line 15:
* [[No Export for You]]: Not the game itself, but there wasn't a release in America that contained the original Japanese soundtrack until the 2011 release, which contains both that soundtrack and the American one. [[Urban Legend of Zelda|Rumor has it there were rights issues]]. Ironically, the reason why the 2011 release almost had Japanese soundtrack only is because [[Word of God]] [http://www.sonicretro.org/2011/08/sega-staffer-speaks-sonic-cd-details-revised-as-sonic-4-prequel/#more-4520 has it] there are rights issues with the American soundtrack never heard of before. This was eventually righted by the time of the release of the remake, and both soundtracks are now available.
* [[Promoted Fanboy]]: Christian "The Taxman" Whitehead, who did the downloadable remake. He was responsible for creating the Retro Sonic engine and a number of fangames and is also a member of the Sonic Retro community.
* [[Screwed by the Lawyers]]: The vocals for the Japanese soundtrack were replaced with instrumentals for the HD port due to unforeseen legal issues regarding the rights to them.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: The [[Updated Rerelease]] for digital download services was going to have two brand new levels, "[[All Deserts Have Cacti|Desert Dazzle]]" and "[[True Final Boss|Final Fever]]", on top of all the levels from the original release. Time constraints, as well as a desire to be truer to the original game by not tampering too much with it, resulted in both stages being cut.
