Glitches are mistakes and errors in games caused by overlooked software data. Various Sonic games have a selection of them, and a list of articles with notes on them can be found below. While some are unintentionally useful or even entertaining to some, others may be harmful to the player's games, gaming systems, or their save files, though detrimental ones are often referred to as Bugs.

Trivia[]
- The English manual of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 offers an in-universe explanation for glitches, stating that they are "diabolical traps" created by Dr. Robotnik that take advantage of Sonic's speed.[1]
- Similarly, an update in Sonic the Hedgehog (2013) claims to have thwarted the doctor's plans to "fill the game with bugs".[2]
