Trivia

 * Sonic the Hedgehog's fondness for chili dogs is something that originates from a stable in Sonic's characterization in western territories which was first established in the animated series, Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. Even before that, the earliest canon reference to Sonic's enjoyment of hot dogs (rather than the more specific chili dogs) was in Sonic the Comic #5, where Sonic is having 300 hot dogs as a part of his breakfast. In the years since, the chili dog has been established as Sonic's favorite food in just about every Sonic-related media, eventually making its way into the games' canon as well. This makes the chili dogs an interesting (and somewhat rare) example of a staple from the comics and cartoons "bleeding" into the games.
