Trivia

• So far, not a single Sonic game has been rated above Teen.
  • However, discounting crossovers, no Sonic game has ever been rated above E10+.
• The K-A rating was replaced with the E rating in 1998.
• The PSN version of Sonic the Hedgehog was rated E10+ until 2013.
• Originally, due to its dark nature, Shadow the Hedgehog was originally going to be rated T, with the game containing red blood, violent scenes, and more instances of cursing. The E10+ rating was created during development, causing some changes between pre-release and the final version.
