Trivia
The famous SEGA jingle at the start of the game has been estimated to take up between 1/20 to 1/8 of the 4-megabit Cartridge.

Crazy credits
The ending credits vary depending on how many Chaos Emeralds you collected throughout the game:
If you collected all 6 Emeralds, at the end Dr Robotnik will be seen jumping angrily on "THE END."
If you didn't collect them all, Robotnik will be happily juggling the Emeralds you missed over the words "TRY AGAIN."

Alternate versions
An 8-bit version of the game, 'Sonic the Hedgehog (1991/II) (VG)', was released for the Master System and Game Gear. Other than the title, basic story and a couple of similarly-themed levels, the two versions have absolutely nothing in common.

Connections
Edited into Sega Genesis Collection: Gold Edition (2011)
