* ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' is one of the few Sonic-related albums to have singles released to support and generate interest for the work. Both "[[They Call Me Sonic]]" and "[[King of the Ring]]" received the maxi-single treatment, the former even including a German version of the title track.
 
 
 
* Due to the album's label being named Arcade, some fans have mistakenly thought that ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' actually contained music from Sonic's first major entry into the arcade circuit, ''[[Segasonic the Hedgehog]]''. However, neither source shares any musical cues, that game's soundtrack still currently unreleased.
 
 
 
* The cover art to ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' uses the same image found on the western version of ''[[Sonic Chaos]]'' for the [[sega:Sega Game Gear|Sega Game Gear]]. However, nothing from that game is related to the contents of the German electronic album.
