Unused animations for Sonic & Tails looking up and looking straight ahead while piloting the Tornado, akin to Tails piloting the Tornado in Sonic 2. The final shield sprites were redrawn from the ground up and feature a lot of additional frames. These early shield graphics are traced from the original Sonic 3 sprites, but with colors changed and more detail added. Although the boss arenas of Lava Reef Zone and Titanic Monarch are considered the "Act 3" of those respective zones, the title card still refers to them as "Act 2", rendering this graphic completely unused.īecause none of the zones' names include these letters except V because Lava Reef Zone is in the game, J, K, Q, X and Z all go unused.Īn early pause menu, seen in some pre-release footage.Įarly graphics for the elemental shields and the insta-shield can be found in Sprites/Global/ShieldsOld.gif. Sprites for an Act 3 are in the title card graphics. Interestingly, these were located as part of a PNG file, as opposed to the GIF format used by most of the game's sprite files.Įarly unfinished graphics of the English text, pause menu, and save select/2 player race are in Data\Sprites\UI\
Unfinished graphics for Sonic on the title screen, missing several shades on the spines and gloves.
The sky background was later reused for the Pinball Bonus Stage in Encore Mode. Oddly, it does not have Mirage Saloon or Chemical Plant, both of which were playable at E3 2017.ĭifferent background graphics for the title screen leftover from the "Discovery" part of development, with a slightly more geometric island and graphics of a strange Model 1 Genesis with a 32X and a Model 1 Sega CD emitting a beam of light. Unused sprites for the game's title screen show the game's early name "Sonic (the Hedgehog) Discovery", most likely left over from the prototype shown to SEGA.
