Notably, this was the final game that AlphaDream worked on, having been released shortly after they had shut down.
The game would eventually be pulled from the Nintendo eShop on March 31st 2026 for unknown reasons, though likely due to the license for the Olympics expiring.
As this was the third game to utilize Hedgehog Engine 2, there are some leftovers from Sonic Forces, the first game that used the engine.
The shaders for the Phantom Ruby, "Ruby01" and "Ruby02", can be found in the NeedleShader.pac archive. However, these do not seem to be used in-game at all.
Some areas have what appear to be an early version of them in their cubemaps. This is most noticeable in the one used for the New National Stadium (ath10n), as the balloons are colored green, and the Tokyo 2020 signage is colored blue, rather than red as in the actual terrain. (Note that the cubemap's exposure value has been lowered by 11 for the sake of visibility on this site)
The CPK archive containing the game's assets is named "rings_0", suggesting that the game's internal name is "Rings". This presumably refers to the rings in the Olympics logo.
A kiosk demo exists, usually found at retailers.
