Is it me or is the old/PC Icecap super similar to Crystall Egg from Sonic 2 SMS/GG? The supporting arrangement is SO similiar!
The fact that Flying Battery is so unfinished/lack of objects when compared to Ice Cap which is far more complete; implies that they had already made the decison to move FB to the S&K half/had already decided to split the game in half when this prototype was made?
I think you're right. Also, I really hate how Launch Base's music starts, but once it gets going its alright.
Similar numbers and letters appear in Launch Base Zone if you enter the Death Egg area by skipping the first Robotnik battle in debug. Although in that case they're much bigger.
These are the real deal, running on the original sound engine. Also, their popularity went 9999999% up just now.
3 months before the game is on sale at stores and no bonus stages are finished among other things, damn they really like to cut it close don't they.
