Unused content
Character Sprites
Artwork | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
"Crying Tails" Animations | Some unused sprites of Tails crying. Probably meant to be used in the ending cutscene when he is rescued. | |
Bored Sonic Animation | These three animations are actually from Sonic 1 for the Master System, but were found in Sonic 2 for the Game Gear. Sonic 2 GG used Sonic 1 MS's spriteset, but the waiting animation was changed. This is all of what is leftover. | |
Sonic 1 death sprite | Sonic's death sprite from the Master System version of Sonic 1.[1] | |
Entire Under Ground Zone Boss body | The entire body of the boss can be seen here. Normally only its head is visible. | |
Entire Sky High Zone Boss body | This shows the entire body of the boss. Normally only its head and neck can be seen. |
Unused Monitors
Artwork | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
Sonic Monitor | This one isn't really unused; you can find it hidden in a wall in Crystal Egg Zone, but the graphics are obscured. When collected, it grants a Continue. | |
Question Mark Monitor | This may have given a random amount of rings or items, like in the 2-player mode of Sonic 2 for Mega Drive. | |
Grey Sneaker Monitor | May have slowed you down, like the Slow sneaker in Sonic 3's 2-player mode. | |
Arrow Monitor | This could have been a checkpoint marker, like the 8-bit version of Sonic 1. |
Level Art
Artwork | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
Under Ground Zone Bricks | Several unused bricks. | |
Under Ground Zone Tubes | Originally thought to be a loop, the discovery of a prototype revealed this to be the remains of Green hill zone style tubes for Under Ground Zone. | |
Various Under Ground Zone ground tiles | Miscellaneous ground tiles.[2] | |
Under Ground Zone Floating Platform | An unused floating platform. | |
Sky High Zone boulder | This boulder probably was supposed to roll down a hill in act 1. | |
Sky High Zone platform | An unused floating platform. | |
Sky High Zone object | Probably another platform. | |
Unused Aqua Lake Zone tile | A small additional piece of land which is not used in the final game. |
Gimmick Mountain Name
Originally the level card for Gimmick Mountain wasn't going to have a shortened name. Hivebrain discovered the word "Mountain" within the ROM. Due to lack of space on the screen Mountain was shortened to Mt.
