Trivia

• Throughout all the handheld games developed by Dimps for the Sonic the Hedgehog series, there is a theme of hammer-based first bosses. The theme originated from Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure, in which the first boss featured a ground vehicle with a large hammer and ended with Sonic Rush with the Egg Hammer Mega.
  • Although not directly hammer-themed, the Ghost Rex, the first boss of Sonic Rush Adventure can extend its neck and slam its head onto the ground to attack the player.
  • In Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I, the attack used in the second phase on the battle against the Egg Mobile-H involves slamming the ball down at the player like a hammer.
