While it's not known if any Sega employees have commented on this connection, it was acknowledged in the form of a small cameo appearance where Sonic gets outrun by Arale in the 1993 sequel manga "The Brief Return of Dr. Slump".

It's possible to play the game using an Atari 2600 controller, as every button besides start works as a jump button, and thus the game is fully playable despite the controller only having a single button.

The file header (the game's name used as an introduction for its code) for Sonic the Hedgehog is supposed to have a line break in the middle, so it reads as:
However, this line break was done through spaces instead of an actual line break, so if one plays Sonic the Hedgehog on an emulator that shows the file header name (such as Kega Fusion), it will instead read:
[Note: periods added due to VGFacts automatically removing multiple rows of spaces.]
SONIC THE
HEDGEHOG

Connecting Sonic & Knuckles to the first Sonic the Hedgehog will not allow you to play as Knuckles in the latter game. This was not due to hardware limitations as is commonly believed, but rather because the game's development team felt that, while Sonic 2 was designed with Super Sonic's flight in mind and thus had verticality to its levels fit for Knuckles' climbing, Sonic 1 was not, and therefore simply was not fun to play as Knuckles in.

Hirokazu Yasuhara was going to go to America to establish a new development team but because of the Gulf war between Iran and Kuwait, his trip was delayed. Yuji Naka and Naoto Oshima noticed him being upset and decided to let him join their team temporarily until he leaves. He ended up staying for a year to design the levels for major games such as Sonic the Hedgehog.

The Japanese version of the game has more parallax scrolling layers. An example would be that the clouds in some of the zones move across the screen, while the international version the clouds are stationary. The Labyrinth zone also has an underwater wave effect in the Japanese version. The only zones that were not changed were the Starlight zone and the Final zone.

In early screenshots of the Genesis game, a UFO could be spotted, but was not present in the final game. Yet when Sonic the Hedgehog was released in 2005 for mobile phones, the UFO sprite was found hidden away in the files, but still unused.
