We always miss the funny stuff...

The video game company issued an in-game correction for the free-to-run platformer, apologizing for the mistake and explaining to players that the original character was named "Boo."



Why are we never around for the funny slip ups? They only happen once in a blue moon, but when they do, they’re funny. I’m sure there are lots of parents out there ready to hop on the anti-video game bandwagon due to this mistake.

The following message has been released by Sega in regards to the slip up:

Boo is actually not a new character made for Halloween, but a returning character who had his first appearance in Sonic Adventure 2, since he has been seen in the anime based on the series, Sonic X and many of the series' sequels including, Sonic Lost World for Wii U and of course Sonic Runners.
