Woah I love the vector move. It's so awesome to see something new and fun to see what people find from these games. I just hope some more Tails sprites pop up. I also love the Super Sonic sprite.

Made some mockups:



Most of the coloring was guesswork using mostly existing Chaotix colors. Only two custom colors had to be used, one for the bright whites and one for the coloring on the shoes. I'm uncertain about those white splotches, but I had to improvise. Also the arm positioning, again, was improvised.

Holy shit, sprite-gasm. That looks wicked.
Good job with the find andlabs +, this stuff is awesome.

This is in Techno Tower 5 if you look hard enough (it will be flat, and will only pop you up when both of you are are on standing on it); unless this is a different one? It is at (825, 1620) in TT5 Morning.
Also yeah, that Vector does show another awesome move of his. However I wonder how this would've fit in with the game? If this was a waiting animation, what about the Combi Ring?

Plus it was on the 32X. I doubt even they cared about making games for it.
Also most of the stuff we have seen doesn't really indicate anything that would have been super important, except the water splash might have indicated that you could have gone underwater at some point, but I bet they took it out seeing as how you can't actually die in that game as you have no lives (And you don't really die you just get hit and sent back to the hub)

Sega is notorious for rushing development. Remember Sonic 2's secrets? Remember Sonic 06?

How is this splash different from the one in Marina Madness after your ferry docks after you hit that button?

Hell it could be for that I have no idea, I really don't play Chaotix often.

This makes me wonder: Why didn't chaotix have any underwater stages in it?

Just speculation, but maybe the Tails and Super Sonic sprites were to be used in the bad ending. Since it ends with Metal Sonic hovering over a burning city, it is possible at the end of the credits that Sonic and Tails rush in, implying they are there to save the day now since you screwed up. Not to mention they appear right next to the sprites for the good ending.

I reconised this sprite from and early Sonic Team site back at 1995.


Robotnik laughing. Two potential animations.

What's he looking at?
I think those are for the endings: The laughing egg for bad, and the empty hand egg for good.

I'm guessing they had an ending designed involving Tails and Sonic, but at some point someone (at sega) wasn't happy with these characters appearing in the game, not even in there.

Now that makes sense. If knuckles fails enough to mistake sonic for stealing the chaos emeralds, he would also fail at saving the world.

I don't remember seeing these in either endings.
