Revisional Differences

PS3/X360/PC (High-end settings)	Wii/PC (Low-end settings)

In all initial releases of the game, the developers accidentally used fan art of Sonia the Hedgehog (one of Sonic's siblings from Sonic Underground) by DeviantArt user ArtByRiana instead of official art of Amy. Shortly after this was discovered, Sumo Digital quickly patched it out of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 releases.

While the PC version was also patched, the Sonia art can still be seen with lower graphics settings, bizarrely. The Wii version was never patched due to its internet limitations.
