Trivia
- The cover artwork was recycled from an old SatAM VHS called Super Sonic (the image of Sonic was also used on a DVD of the same name. The Dr. Robotnik in the picture is his SatAM design rather than his Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog design
- This DVD's description of the episode So Long Sucker is extremely inaccurate:
- "Tails adopts a cute and fuzzy pet named Walter" - His pet is slimey, not fuzzy and his name is Goobster, not Walter.
- "who turns out to be a black hole" - that is a bit exaggerated, he is a living creature, not an inescapable region of space.
- "our heroes have to return him and they soon find themselves spinning through interdimensional limbo." - That doesn't happen in the episode.
