Trivia

• Scratch and Grounder appear in the "Who's Who" section, even though they do not appear in any of the stories in this volume.
• Sally Acorn appears in the "Who's Who" section, she will later appear in another "Who's Who" section for Volume 4.
• On the front cover, Crabmeat, Coconuts and Buzzbomber all sport their original video game designs rather than their more cartoony comic designs.
  • Additonally, the Grounder on the cover is based on their video game appearance rather than being based on the Grounder from the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.
• Several facts are listed about the "Who's Who" section:
  • Crabmeat, Caterkiller and Bat Brain are all re-creations of their Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) artwork rather than art from the comics.
  • Tails, Snively, Rotor, Robotnik, Bunnie and Antoine are all re-creations of SatAM stock art rather than art from the comics.
  • Motobug is colored incorrectly, as his original design is red and black, but on the page, it shows it as purple and yellow.
    • Similarly, those are the exact colors of Caterkiller.
  • Grounder is confirmed to be a Super-Burrobot.
• Robotnik from the "Who's Who" section strongly resembles Robotnik from Sonic Underground with a yellow cate.
