Has SEGA Ever Officially Called Sonic the Hedgehog “Sonic 1”?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKUyX9nD1wQ

Quote
Following the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 in 1992, fans began to call the first game “Sonic 1”. The name is an easy way to differentiate the original 1991 game from Sonic the Hedgehog the comic series or the junior novel or OVA or 2006 game or 2020 movie or even the character himself.
But has SEGA ever officially called Sonic the Hedgehog “Sonic 1”? Well, actually they have!

Sonic & Mario Dancing to Michael Jackson Video Goes Viral



Quote
PewDiePie has been trending on Twitter all morning, but not as much as Mario and Sonic.
A random Sonic and Mario video dancing to Billie Jean by Michael Jackson have gone viral over on the social media platform, which can't take its eyes off the moves of Sonic, and especially Mario.

Sonic Lost World Yoshi's Island DLC Gets Modded for PC,
No Longer 'Wii U Exclusive' Now




Quote
PC modders cannot be kept down forever (hat-tip KayFiOS), and a modder with a cheery tag of 'ĐeäTh' has recreated the Yoshi bonus level in the PC version, throwing in multiplayer as a little bonus.
It looks like quite an impressive effort.

I thought Sonic Dash 2 died in 2016 or something? Especially given Sonic Boom is over and done with.

I'm reminded of Hillary Clinton's "Pokémon GO to the poll!" reference.

In mobile game yes, it's still lively, just like Sonic Forces.
But in console game and TV series, it's already dead.

Rarely Seen Footage of SEGA’s Sonic Kart 3DX Game Surfaces



Quote
Put simply, it’s a more basic version of Sonic Drift where players raced against each other in the S1 Grand Prix mode via network connectivity on Sonic Cafe.
When you’re tired of being pitted against each other, players can also race against the best times on the network in a Time Attack mode.
High scores were uploaded to the Cafe for others players to see and race against.
