TRIVIA

Somari was developed by the homebrew developer Hummer Team, though they are credited in-game as Somari Team. The game's levels are based on the Sega Mega Drive version of the first Sonic game, with the exception of the Scrap Brain Zone, while the bonus stages are based on the Master System and Game Gear versions. The game features Sonic's Spin Dash, which was not introduced until Sonic the Hedgehog 2. The audio of the game is similar to the original, but suffers from a poor conversion to the Famicom's sound system. The word Somari is a portmanteau of Sonic and Mario.

The movement of Mario is based on the mechanics and physics of the Sonic character from Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

A Taiwanese trademark for 'Somari' was registered on March 1, 1994.
