Attachment At one point in development, Sonic CD was going to be a playable option in the game. The entire European manual was scanned and is fully viewable in the game; however, no known prototype exists with an image file of the actual game (some people have chalked it up to size constraints and others to technical constraints). There are also two listings in the same prototype for "Sonic the Hedgehog the Movie 1" and "Sonic the Hedgehog the Movie 2," suggesting that the OVA was going to be in the game as well, and would have been split into two parts like the original 1996 Japanese VHS release.

Attachment Originally, Sonic was going to use a surfboard to get onto Angel Island. This was changed to him flying in as Super Sonic, most likely to connect this game with the true ending of Sonic The Hedgehog 2. The surfboard sprites can still be found in the game's data.

Princess Daisy's country of origin, Sarasaland, takes its name from the calico textiles imported by Portuguese traders from India to Japan during the Edo Period. Calico became widely popular in Japan to the point the Portuguese word for it, sarasa, was adapted into the Japanese language.

Calico (or sarasa) textiles are most commonly flower patterns made up of multiple, contrasting colors. This is why it is ruled by Daisy, a flower-inspired princess. And just as animal color patterns are named after the fabric (i.e., calico cats, calico goldfish, etc.) it's name alludes to the fact it is comprised of multiple, diverse kingdoms. The reason it is written as "Sarasaland," is because of the poor localization for the English release of Super Mario Land. In Japanese, it is: サラサ・ランド. Properly translated to English, it would be: Calico Land. A space or hyphen can be used in place of the interpoint.

Subsequent descriptions have rendered the name differently, as well:
•The ''Official Game Boy Players Guide'' omits the word land completely: "Sarasa"
•The Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins manual spaces the name out, but still leaves calico untranslated: "Sarasa Land"
•The Daisy trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee hyphenates the name and leaves the 'L' in "Land" lowercase: "Sarasa-land"
•Daisy's Mario Superstar Baseball profile misspells sarasa with "ra" added on the end: "Sarasara Land"
