So according to the various, obscure yet true factoids I’ve compiled over the years concerning this series and it’s characters…
– Sonic suffers from hay fever.
– Dr Eggman is fond of more than three meals a day.
– Shadow went from being named after the sarcasm involved in being unable to manufacture and/or catch a shadow to being named after the direction from which a light shines (According to Maria)
– Knuckles’ whole design concept stems from ST wanting a character that could smash through walls.
– Sonic likes to read. Especially on rainy days.
– Press Garden Zone in Sonic Mania was originally named Pulp Solstice Zone.
– Tails was originally supposed to have only one tail and not have visible sclera.
– Sonic has a weird molecular structure, explaining why he can change form.
– Shadow is physically 15.
– Nack/Fang isn’t a Weasel/Wolf hybrid but a Jerboa/Wolf hybrid.
– Bean is not a Duck but a Woodpecker.
– “Sonic Crackers” is likely to be a mistranslated title with the real one likely to instead be “Sonic Clackers”
– Sonic has a deep dislike of secrecy.
– Vector believes in God according to Chaotix’s manual.
– The Hard-Boiled Heavies were independent from Dr Eggman and were not acting under his command until presumably late into the game.
– Sonic inscribed his name on his shoe soles in Sonic Adventure.
– Heavy Magician’s name was originally Heavy Mystic.
– The original Genocide City/Cyber City Zone’s layout in Sonic 2 eventually became Metropolis Act 3.

Those are the ones that spring to mind right now.
