Why It's Far From Being A Freak
- It pave the way for the plot of Sonic X, since in the beginning it show Sonic and friends in their world until Sonic accidently destroy the machine that hold the Chaos Emeralds, making them warping to the Earth world, and it were the show started, in other words, this episode is an amazing way to start the series.
- All the characters are not only likable but also well introduced, with Sonic, Knuckles, Cream, Dr. Eggman and more.
- Sonic is the best character of this episode because he saved Cream from Eggman and also he cause a lot of funny moments in the episode, such as when he run with a F1 pilot that try to capture him.

- The fight that Sonic had with Eggman is very decent, you got Sonic who first run to dodge Eggman's missiles, and he got in the Eggman base, when he fight with a robot made by Eggman, the way he did destroy was fun and greatly executed, even though it was what made him and the others warping to Earth, including Sonic himself.

Trivia
- The Australian DVD gives the name of the episode as "Supersonic Hero Appears!".
- "Chaos Control" referred to Eggman's base rather than the power. This may be due to a scriptwriting error, or the fact that the 4Kids Entertainment producers knew nothing about the Sonic the Hedgehog series at that time or a combination of both.
- This is the only episode that Rouge appears that does not have the Rouge music play to accompany her appearance.
- In the Japanese version, just as Sonic starts running backwards, "SONIC DRIVE", the Japanese opening theme of Sonic X, plays for a section of the episode until Sonic runs off the bridge.
- A clip of the beginning of this episode is played during the 4Kids Entertainment crossover The Fight for the FoxBox.
