::''It IS a mistake. Studium is a very common misspelling of Stadium among japanese. It has to do with how Stadium is pronounced/spelled in japanese, スタジアム the "stad-" ends up sounding like the english word "stud." To confuse things, Studium is a real word, old word for university, means place of study or some shit. (latin?)''

Sonic Studium?

For the longest time, people have opened up the Crackers ROM in a hex editor and noticed one small detail: The ROM header says "Sonic Studium," compared to "Sonic Crackers," as the title screen of the game says.
