Trivia

• Dr. Eggman, Tails, Shadow, and Sonic the Werehog are the only Sonic spirits with a spirit battle to not be part of the event.
  • As summonable spirits do not appear in Spirit Board events (with the exception of Squid Pro Quo), Shadow is the only spirit who cannot be summoned that does not appear in the event.
• The Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Korean names for this event use the word "Ages", which is Sega backwards. Sega themselves have used this joke several times in the past.
• This event marks the first time a character artwork appears on the banner. The specific render is of Sonic.
