* DoingItForTheArt: ''Tennis'' was meant to be a ''Sonic''-only game, but Sumo believed it would be more interesting to use various SEGA franchises. And as their philosophy to recreating some games [[StillbornFranchise which haven't been seen in a long time]] is "what you remember most about them", this results in a TON of fanservice and attention to detail. While they admit they do keep turning a profit in mind, they also look at what franchises can bring to the table to create a fun and memorable game. Both fans and SEGA have been impressed by their passion; it was reported that when the team showed their recreation track of ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia'' in ''Transformed'' to the game's original producer, [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming she came close to tears]] due to how faithful and nostalgic the result was.
