Trivia[]

This issue introduces some badniks from Sonic Adventure 3.
In the games, these badniks did not use animals to power them, making use of rings instead.
It is speculated that Tails used these badniks because they did not use captured animals, instead being powered by rings, just like in that game.

Background information[]

This issue was originally scheduled for release on 20 April 2022, but was delayed to 27 April 2022.
On page twelve, the vegetable truck that is being driven is the same one from Sonic the Hedgehog #17, "Plague", first seen on page seven.
