Trivia

 * In Sonic Rush, she is mistakenly credited as "Berra Hudson", due to 'L' sounds in Japanese being replaced with 'R' when writing names.
 * Though her name is credited in the Nintendo DS version of Sonic Colors, she did not actually voice the character, as some of her Blaze sound clips were recycled and used in the game along with Bailey's.
 * The two actresses' clips were also mixed together for Sonic Free Riders, though neither was credited.
 * While it is a common misconception that Hudson voiced Tikal and Maria Robotnik in Sonic X, she has confessed that she did not voice those characters.
