Trivia[]
- The cover shows Sonic's Sonic Adventure redesign (albeit missing the shoe soles), rather than his original design seen in the game.
- The album released 2 months before Sonic's redesign first appeared in a game, though it was designed by the Sonic Adventure character designer Yuji Uekawa.[1]
- The album cover features the emphasizing of the letter "R" at the beginning of each of the sentences.
