Knuckles end level victory pose
Knuckles does not finish a level and thus cannot perform a victory pose in normal circumstances. However, utilizing a glitch will allow Knuckles to finish a level and strike a pose.[1] He also has phrases which change depending on the player's Rank.
Rank | English phrase | Japanese phrase |
---|---|---|
|
"All right!" | "よし!完璧だぜ!" |
|
"That felt good." | "よし!いい感じだ" |
|
"Well that wasn't TOO bad." | "ま、こんなもんだろ" |
|
"Hmph! That took longer than I thought." | "フン!手間取っちまったぜ" |
|
"Shoot! I've still got a way to go..." | "くそ!まだまだだな…" |
Unused content
Music
Two tracks in the game are unused, they are called silver_theme.xma and shadow_theme.xma. The alternate main theme can be found here and the alternate Silver theme can be found here.
Silver's track seems to have MIDI backing put in place, while Shadow's theme is an untouched version from Shadow the Hedgehog.
Character intro animations
By swapping character files of some Amigo mode characters with those of regular characters they will be shown to have a character select screen animation.
Icons/Rainbow Gem
Some of these HUD icons are not all used in the game. The first 7 Gems are normally obtainable, however the rainbow-colored Gem is not. The demo version of Sonic 2006 has text that says "Allows you to perform 'super'" but is replaced with text "???: You'll need to buy it to see what it does!" in the retail copy. If the text refers to the Rainbow Gem then that means that the player may have been able to transform into Super Sonic on any level. Part of the gem's programming was finished but can only be accessed through hacking. If enabled, the player can go through the Super transformations animations, but will not turn Super.
Warp Gate images
These images are displayed on the warp gates that appear on the Soleanna map. Among them are images of levels that do not have warp gates--such as Crisis City.
Shield
Although the US instruction manual lists a Shield power-up that the player can find in Item Boxes under the "POWER-UP ITEMS" page[2], no Shield boxes appear anywhere in the game. Despite this, the Shield is still in the game's code and is fully functional, although it will not play an activation sound despite having one. To place it in a level, change an Item Box's parameter to 8.
Text
The following text can be found by examining the disc's contents. It is unused in the game.
Shop text
This is text which was meant to be used in the shop. The ??? item may have been the unused Rainbow/Super Gem item. Silver was to have a Speed up item to increase his maximum speed. Music from previous games also looked like it was once purchasable.

Other text
Some of these missions are seen in game but some aren't. The $ is a variable and can be made to mean anything. It seems that Sonic Adventure 2 style goals were once meant to be part of the game. There also seemed to be a mode where more than one goal ring was located in the level.
