Oddities#

• Sonic Colors: Ultimate uses a mix of Godot 3 and Hedgehog Engine, but originally there was no mention of Godot anywhere (the game supposedly runs on the "Blind Squirrel Engine", which may or may not be a violation of Godot's license agreement). Blind Squirrel acknowledged this and added Godot into the credits with the release of the v1.0.4 patch.
