The German version was heavily censored to meet a USK 16 rating. The edits made were the removal of blood, headshots and amputations taken out (although NPCs would still appear limping if shot), unable to hit anyone whilst they're on the ground (attempting to would have you flail around over them), no money dropped from killed NPCs and all rampage missions removed.

Dr. Nefarious' attack color scheme was picked at random from a friend of Tony Garcia, the designer of the boss. Since the battle was the last thing to be programed, he was running out of ideas for colors. He picked one friend that was online at the time and asked for two colors, which they gave red and black. These random colors have stayed with the character.

In the English prototype of Mother, some of the characters were redesigned, possibly to avoid resembling characters from Charles Schulz's Peanuts comic strip. One NPC character was given pigtails to reduce her resemblance to Marcy, Peppermint Patty's best friend, and the dust cloud was removed from an NPC that looked like "Pigpen". Ninten's mom was also given a different hairstyle, possibly because it resembled Sally Brown, Charlie Brown's sister. Ironically, Ninten's shirt was given a stripe, which made him look similar to Charlie Brown.

Genocide City Zone is a scrapped level from Sonic the Hedgehog 2. It was meant to be a single act but ultimately became Metropolis Zone Act 3. According to Sonic 2 level designer Tom Payne, the name "Genocide City" was chosen due to the development team's "not quite complete grasp of the English language" hence the change to Cyber City later on.
