	Animation for Sonic running faster than normal.
	Animation for Sonic running even faster than normal.
	Sonic pulling animation.
	Sonic balancing animation, likely for when the player is mere pixels away from falling.
	A standard switch. The object hasn't been coded at this stage yet.
	Fire. Possibly a flaming log, as Buzzer was planned to burn bridges according to concept art.^[1]
	Animated tiles, possibly for the Chemical Plant Zone boss.
	Ball. Though seen in concept art, coding for this object never seems to have been started.
	Bubbler's Mother graphics.
	Bubbler graphics.
	Prototype Crawl graphics.
	Dirt, possibly associated with Crawl.
	16x16 block, possibly for Hill Top Zone

Objects

Placeable in edit mode

Art	Description
	Blank monitor, similar to the one in the original Sonic the Hedgehog. Does nothing.
	The prototype Star Post seen in earlier versions of the game still exists. When deactivated, it is yellow, rapidly flashing white and red once Sonic has passed by.
	The seesaw from Hill Top Zone (Scrap Brain Zone) can be placed in Emerald Hill Zone (Star Light Zone), complete with different colour scheme.
	Flipping platforms for Chemical Plant Zone (Marble Zone). They don't have the correct art, but seem to work fine.
	The Sonic 1 swinging platform still exists in Marble Zone, albeit with broken graphics.
	BFish in Hidden Palace Zone (Spring Yard Zone).
	Unknown enemy in Hidden Palace Zone (Spring Yard Zone).
	Another one in Hidden Palace Zone. This one fires a projectile.
	Stego with broken graphics in Hidden Palace Zone.
	Gator with broken graphics in Hidden Palace Zone.
	This seems to be the prototype Octus from Oil Ocean Zone, hovering, firing a projectile then moving off-screen to the left or right. Again, found in Hidden Palace Zone.
