*Much like Sonic the Hedgehog 30th Anniversary Symphony, the animated series is dedicated to Keisuke Nagai, who was a licensing manager for Sega.
*Sonic Colors: Rise of the Wisps marks the first 2D online animated medium to feature full voice acting (not counting Sonic's one line in Chao In Space).
*Kate Higgins voiced Tails in the series, much like in the original Sonic Colors, despite the fact that his current voice actress at the time was Colleen O'Shaughnessey.
**This animation marks the first time Kate Higgins voices Tails since Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games as well as the first time she has voiced a Sonic character since Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, where she voiced Wave the Swallow via recycled voice clips.
**Excluding Jon St. John, whose portrayal of Omega from Sonic Heroes was reused in Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, this is the second instance of an English voice actor returning to voice a Sonic series character that they stopped voicing, the first being Oliver Wyman, who voiced Big the Cat in Sonic X and Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing before being replaced by Kyle Hebert, but reprised his role in Lego Dimensions.
