Lost Sprites and Tiles

Sprite/Tile Nicknames Hex Address Discovered By
Spr spring.gif Spring monitor
Spr ttspring.png
It's rumored that this would attach a spring under Sonic's shoes, like in Sonic Triple Trouble.
? <Too long ago>
Spr fish.png Fish, Piranha $7B4EA Esrael
Spr 3eyefish.png Bubbler's Mother, Three-eyed Fish, Tri-eye, Blinky
This multi-eyed creature would drop Bubbler onto the ground in Chemical Plant Zone, as illustrated by the concept art.
$7C0C6 Esrael
Spr bubble.gif Bubbler
This lump of bubbles would appear in Chemical Plant Zone and burst when Sonic is near. According to concept art, it is supposed to be purple in color. This enemy would be dropped by Bubbler's Mother.
$7C2F2 Esrael
Spr bouncer.gif Bouncer, Crawl $7C710 Esrael
Spr crocobot.gif Crocobot $7A11A Esrael
Spr trycerobot.png Trycerobot, Rhinobot $7AD18 Esrael
Spr seahorse2.png OOZ Seahorse
The seahorses shoot oil balls at Sonic when approached. Their behavior can be seen in Esrael's hack, Sonic 2 Delta.
$7B9E2 Esrael
Spr octopus.gif OOZ Octopus
This is not your usual octopus seen in OOZ. When it sees Sonic, it fires a glowing bullet and then quickly flies away horizontally. Again, this can be seen in Esrael's hack. The palette shown here is wrong—the octopus looks pink, as usual, under OOZ's palette.
$7A9F8 Esrael
Spr lamppost.gif Lamppost, Restart point $79278 <viewable via debug>
Spr fireball.gif Fireball, Log on fire
Possibly part of a burning bridge after destroyed by yet another scrapped enemy, the Bee.<br"I'm not entirely sure if this is a fireball or a burning log. The main area in the center that's black uses the second colour on the palette line, which is a dull colour on every palette in the beta, rather than an intense red that you would expect." ― Nemesis
$7436C Nemesis
Spr ball.gif Ball
This ball is believed to supposedly bounce and crush Sonic.
$7BE30 Esrael
Spr hpzbg.png HPZ alpha background backdrop
EveryNameWasTaken noticed this thing matches with the holes in the background of the mock-up Hidden Palace picture. Click here for more info.
$2B06A BMF54123
Spr drills left.gifSpr drills up.gif Drill, Rotating screw $2A86A Dr. Ivo
Spr splash.gif Splashing rock $4B76C Dr. Ivo
Spr flame.gif Flame anchored on brick wall
"You know that one with the fire in the pot against the stone wall? That actually wasn't compiled in our version of the rom, but is merely left over from a previous build." ― Nemesis, ROM Hacker @ Area 51 phpBB (defunct)
These two tiles do not belong to a Sonic game. Click here for more info.
$4E86A Dr. Ivo
Spr cpzboss.gif Lost CPZ Boss, Splattered Robotnik
It's possible that this sprite would be displayed when Robotnik is hit or defeated in CPZ.
$7D3DA Knuckles Prower
Spr ledge.gif Sonic ledge animation ? ?
Spr missingsprites.png Sonic sitting down, rotating, and pulling
The sitting down sprites were later discovered to be remnants of a scrapped "bounce back after running into the wall" animation fully used in the Nick Arcade prototype.

While it's quick to browse through the list of pictures, remember these discoveries are made possible by hackers who spent hours and hours to dissect and study the ROM image. My thanks go to everybody in the Sonic Hacking scene.
