* CreatorInJoke: Almost the entire thing is an in-joke (some of which extend to LetsPlay/MegaGWolf). For example, the use of [[Music/TheOffspring "Have You Ever"]] during Labyrinth Zone's looping slide is a reference to a joke hack which was entirely dedicated to that.

Simply put, the game is mostly unaltered... aside from the little fact that grabbing a ring (or coin, as they now appear to be) causes the ''WesternAnimation/ThomasTheTankEngine'' theme to start playing. ''Constantly.'' And there's a few other subtle alterations as well... saying anything more would spoil the surprise.

* DownerEnding: The good ending could be interpreted this way - [[spoiler:the Thomas Emeralds change ''the entire landscape'' into Thomas, leaving all the animals to fall and presumably perish. Sonic isn't affected at all, though - which could just make it ''worse''.]]
* EasterEgg: [[spoiler:First, you need to perform the level select code. Then, instead of using it, let the demo play - but make sure to hold down all three buttons (the "Drunk Sonic" code). When it loops back, a brief screen will display. Once the title reappears, head into the level select and play song 9F. This will start the game with all Thomas Emeralds - ''and'' replace the Green Hill Zone boss with a reference to [[Music/MileyCyrus "Wrecking Ball"]].]]
