Today, I was playing Sonic 1 through Mega Collection+[PS2] in Marble Zone, and encountered a strange bug. I got killed from enemy collision (the bat thingy) and had 1 ring! I got the ring at the exact moment of collision. So, is it possible that Sonic picked up the ring AFTER hitting the enemy? Or is it nothing more than crappy emulation leading to strange behavior. I'll try and see if I can replicate it, but don't get you're hopes up.

I while back I discovered that if you go to the part after the running water where you're underwater in HPZ and get the green glowing thing and make a ton of them really close together Sonics pallette will change (see life icon for reference). I made a pic.(I had 2xSAI Kreed on as my graphic render 'cause I like the way it looks. So that's why the HUD looks different.

I wonder what the pallette was used for. And notice the funny "splashing" sprite"
