According to the fact file the game was 40% done at the time this preview was put together. This is interesting as it refers to time travel being a part of the game, but this was left out from the retail version. The final page talks about the [[Sonic the Hedgehog 2 CD|Mega CD port]], which ultimately became ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog CD|Sonic CD]]''.

| | + | Sonic The Hedgehog has sold more than four million copies worldwide. the merchandising rights (i.e. those for other products with Sonic on them, such as t-shirts, mugs, bedding, etc.) in Japan alone bring in unimaginable sums for Sega every month. Everything from pajamas to chewing gum is printed with the Sonic logo, and soon the wave will spill over to Europe too... |
| | + | |
| | + | Sonic 2 is expected to outsell its predecessor - Minoru Kanari is the head of the entire Sonic project, other key figures are known only by last name, if at all. It's totally impossible to get photos of the programmers lest they become famous and poached by the competition!! As cute as Sonic is, life in the icy business world of entertainment is just as tough. No gray Japanese mice, but steel-hard business is the basis of anonymity. It's a pity that people are completely pushed into the background! |
| | + | |
| | + | The original developer of Sonic(meaning Yuji Naka or Naoto Ohshima), who, unbelievably, remains anonymous to this day, is very close to his blue friend. He thinks he has a kind of father-son relationship with little hedgehog, and that's probably how his relationship would be if he had a real son... |
