(Forgive this newb for bringing up likely old news)

Ok, I'd been seeing rumors and mudslinging about a flaming skeleton in Sonic 2 Beta. Well, I did find a skeleton! It's not flaming...but it's a skeleton.

I've known ever since I read about the S2 Beta that it didn't include the animation for water splashing, that instead it had brown blobs or bubbles. Well, while playing in the HPZ, I noticed something about that "fake water splash" animation. So, I jumped into the water again, and paused it...a skeleton!



A skull is CLEARLY visible, and the rest, although somewhat pixelated, resembles the torso of a skeleton. I can't seem to identify the species of the skeleton though. Weird!

Dude, that actually freaks me out a little...and not just because Halloween is coming up soon O_o

I've seen it before, it look likes a dinobot.

It's just an ordinary dinobot with a wrong palette.

Pretty sure this has been reported before.

[torindkflt]

Once again little old me is wrong >_<

[Rika Chou]

It's just a dinobot with a messed up pallet:

[SupperTails66]

It looks kinda freaky though; hmmm... th is calls for a hoax. *runs off*

[Rob Jinnai]

Apparently the dinobot's tiles overwrote the area where the game expected the splash graphic to be. Mmm... probably means that there wasn't always water in HPZ.

Even though it's a palette error... it still does make for a creepy skeleton-like graphic when applied.

[BtCE]

That is a very interesting picture. Could anybody apply that pallette to a Dino Bot Sprite Sheet?

[Mystical Ninja]

I've seen that before. That Dinobot only shows, because of the fact that the bubble graphics are messed up.

[Everlast]

that's the first time I've seen it

[Mecha Mazgoth]

A real fact that shows that it deffenatly is a Beta.*shot* I never saw that, but I do know that I agree with you guys, because it defenatly is that Dino Bot with a messed up pallette.

[Irondude]

Changing glitchy palete if you ask me,

Cool, I like it when newbies post old junk, because I haven`t been here very long, so I get to see the stuff without being yelled at, `cause it`s the newbie who posted it, not me! :lol:
