x16855B: Looks like a head (Knuckles' perhaps?) Since the format is wrong, it's quite deformed.
*Width: 72, Format: N64 High

sounds nice and morbid ^_^

A mirrored, sligthly modified Sonic CD lives icon (only a few pixels were changed).

I didn't even know there WERE connections.

This proves once and for all, that Sonic and Tails were in fact in Chaotix 32x at some point of development:




http://trash.drx.pl/chxed1207.rar - a special version of JJF's Chaoxed that supports all the 32x art in 1207, compiled by me.

In the final, "*******" uses Knuckles' art as well as Knuckles' palette. In this proto, however, the tails 32x palette is intact! This means that Sonic and Tails were in fact ported over to 32x, along with new art and palettes. My guess is that they were scrapped when Mighty got inserted.

Another fun note is that all the 32x art here is uncompressed, in final most of the static art uses the C42 compression, which I was going to crack soon, but since it's not needed anymore, I don't have to, haha! You might be able to find some new sprites, everything that uses the 32x VDP is viewable using this version.

Awesome, now we just need someone to make a Tails using that palette =D Is Sonic's palette still in there?

[ICEknight]

Oh my god, Vector's unused throwing animation (0C32C4 to 0C4584) is awesome.

Great stuff, drx.

[Bibin]

Man, I think I'll be importing me some sonic and tails sprites.

[Quexinos]

and because Mighty is the first slot, this proves he was once Sonic right?

After Burner LOL?

[ICEknight]

Did this game ever show any Flickies and the other little animals? I never got the good ending, so I don't know...

There's the usual animals in there, although the chickens look a bit wierd. They were possibly using Sonic's palette (they look horrid with Mighty's).


Also, there's a water splash starting at 136F28,139B40 and bubbles at 136F28,139B08):

Omg water levels?

That's the water splash from Sonic 1... and it was only ever used in Sonic 1. Interesting that they'd put THAT one in there.

[muteKi]

No Flickies or anything in Chaotix. Just the rings that are powering the robots.

[ICEknight]

By the way, about the words I talked about earlier, they actually say the following stuff:

And then, another set:
