* When exactly are the past and future supposed to be? Are they years apart from the present? Maybe a few months? Maybe just a few days apart and Eggman's conquest was that brutal. How exactly does time even work there anyway?

** They were obviously centuries (if not millennia) apart from the present, considering how ancient the past look and how futuristic the futures are. Stardust Speedway even has Ancient Greek-esque architecture in the past.

* In the US version of the Game Over music why does ''Amy'' seem to be laughing at Sonic? He's trying to rescue her, so [[CaptainObvious she should view him dying as a bad thing.]]

* How does Metal Sonic reappear in later games? The fight with him takes place in the future, one that's presumably after the events of most of the games considering how decimated the BadFuture variants are. If he's stranded in the future after his fight, how does he reappear to fight Sonic and friends in the present? How did one year pass between his defeat and ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog4'' when, realistically, Sonic 4 would take place before the confrontation even happened?

** The Past tracks used PCM music instead of CD audio. In other words, they were built directly into the game. It's easy to replace the CD audio tracks, but replacing the PCM music would have required much more work, unless it was done by the devs. And since the localizers replaced the soundtrack [[ExecutiveMeddling without the devs' consent]] (it a common scummy practice for Sega of America to change things behind the devs' backs back in the day), that wasn't an option, so they left them unchanged.

** According to WordOfGod, they're there to tarnish Sonic's reputation. Since Metal Sonic is Sonic's doppelganger, he was recorded posing as Sonic and making him look like a villain.

So apparently, the reason the player doesn't see any small animals around while the projectors are running is that they're hiding or staying away from Sonic.

** The first sentence refers most likely to Sonic[=/=]the player, and the second to Eggman. The song is encouraging the player him by telling him that Eggman doesn't stand a chance against him.

* Any reason as to why the US soundtrack never got Past renditions? I would assume that they're probably unreleased, but why hasn't there been any reconciliation with possible past tracks being added in?
