- There are two references to Super Smash Bros, According to Ben Schwartz, the voice of Sonic there's two tiny references to the equally nostalgic platform fighter. One is a pose that Sonic does during the movie that is super "Smashy," and the other is a reference to the animation of when the character is teetering on the edge of a platform in the game. According to the actor, these were put into the movie on purpose, as just two of the many Easter Eggs hidden within the film.
- Sonic is the fifth character voiced by Ben Schwartz to be associated with the color blue. The other four were: Skidmark in Turbo (2013), Uncle Steve the Troll in Nickelodeon's Wallykazam! (2014) two-parter special Wallykazam!: The Big Goblin Problem (2015), Dewey Duck in DuckTales (2017), and Leonardo in Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2018).
- Robotnik tells his assistant, Agent Stone, that he was trained by "Native American Shadow Wolves." Surprisingly, that's a real thing--they're trackers who are part of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
- From 1969 to 1983, Paramount Pictures and Sega were units of Charlie Bluhdorn's Gulf+Western Industries conglomerate. G+W divested Sega in 1983-84, refocused itself as an entertainment company, changed its name to Paramount Communications in 1989, and merged with Viacom five years later. Paramount bought Sega under their Gulf+Western banner.
- When Sonic's rings scatter on the ground, they make the same sound they do in the games that happens when Sonic loses rings from taking a hit from an enemy.
