This is the Sonic Community Hacking Guide for the Mega Drive version of Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island.
Level headers are 42 bytes each. They contain data needed to load their layout, objects, etc. Below is the format for a level header. N/A means that we yet don't know its functionality, however looking at their values it seems like them all are pointers. If a question mark (?) is in the description, then the content isn't confirmed yet. All palettes pointers are indices from some array.

Those are the addresses for the headers of all the levels in the game. They point to the beginning of the header data, of course.
