Robotnik is also seen utilizing the Egg-O-Matic with a wrecking ball attached on the chain. There are many Badniks from Sonic the Hedgehog 2 featured such as Mashers, Octus and Chop Chops. Emerald Hill Zone is featured as place, where Robotnik's big top is located.

There are several recognizable references to video games than what is featured in the series. Although much of the visual design was carried over through the series, some stylistic elements were changed (such as the voice-over narration by Gary Owens). The Sonic Says segment also featured an uncredited voice for Tails, although it is rumored that Russi Taylor (the voice of Minnie Mouse, Birdie the Early Bird and Strawberry Shortcake) provided his voice. Jim Cummings was replaced by Long John Baldry (Cummings did voice Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog (TV series), though) and Phil Hayes took over as the role for Scratch.
