Trivia

 * Rouge's redesign and outfit in this series have been heavily criticized by fans who accused Netflix of neo-puritanism and imperialism, since Rouge, just like the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, is a Japanese character conceived from the start to be an alluring femme fatale like Jessica Rabbit, while the creators of Sonic Prime are Canadians.
 * It has been noted also a possibile hypocritical bias since The Cuphead Show! is also a Canadian series released the same year and with a main age target and rating identical to that of Sonic Prime (G), but iconically alluring female characters like Cala Maria haven't been toned down like in the case of Rouge in Sonic Prime.
