3* StillbornFranchise: According to an interview with Akira Nishino, Sonic Team considered making a sequel to ''Ristar'', and it even got as far as the character design stage, but it was canned for various reasons.
4* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Ristar went through ''a lot'' of designs during development when Sega settled on the "Shooting Star" character. Most of them can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8BS1BMiJr4 here]].
5* WorkingTitle: In magazine advertisements, the character, and the game, were named Feel the Rabbit at one point, but earlier beta versions of the game show it would have been called Volt the Voltage, Remnants of this idea still exist with Ristar's lightning volt shoe design. Various prototypes also show that Ristar was intended to be localized as ''Dexstar''.
