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.

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

In Sonic the Hedgehog, there is an unused "PRESS START BUTTON" graphic. This would eventually be used in an exclusive revision of the game included in the Sega Top Ten compilation cartridge for Brazil and Asia. This version of the game is otherwise identical to the original release.

Sonic's graphic on the title screen of Sonic the Hedgehog has a belly that is obscured by the logo's ribbon. This is a leftover of the animatic of Sonic's appearance on the title screen. On earlier, less accurate emulators, including Sega's own emulator made for Sega Smash Pack Volume 1 on Dreamcast, a common error would involve Sonic's belly hanging over the ribbon.
