Sonic The Hedgehog social media manager Katie “MiniKitty” Chrzanowski released a statement as well regarding the matter, pointing that many people experiencing the glitches may be the result of playing Sonic Colors Ultimate on an emulator.

Quick aside: we've seen some graphical issues that were caused by an emulator which is unfortunately outside our control.

Trying to figure out what bugs are legitimate can really slow down the QA process. If you're having issues, please do flag them here: https://t.co/vymOVVEyZp
