Nice find. I knew the clouds were on a layer above the "デビュー接近" text at the end of the demo sequence, but didn't realize (or forgot) they were...
I don't particularly remember seeing this discussed before, and I'm not sure where else to put it, so here we go... This Sonic 1 concept art:...
I agree.
Yup!
As far as the boss music being faster, I believe it's moreso a bug with speedup shoes effect on the music not wearing off as it should. The music...

Oh Jesus I didn't even see the apparent mid-surgery pic in there until you mentioned the photos. The line quality on the art is atrocious, and...
Liner notes from the Sonic 1 and 2 soundtrack. :) (Located here in the Retro wiki)
Love all the discussion here :) I personally think that the tracks for levels that ended up not being used (either not moving past concept stage...
