Trivia[]

The two new characters, Surge and Kit, appeared as silhouettes in IDW Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 45.
One of the citizens on page ten bears a resemblance to Ian Mutchler's Avatar that he made in Sonic Forces and named "Ian Jr."
- This is an infamous version of the Avatar that has been seen in the Sonic the Hedgehog 30th Anniversary Symphony during the "Sonic Forces Medley".
- This cameo was added at the request of Nathalie Fourdraine.^[2]
