Notes

Unused Graphics 3D tests, demo leftovers, and a scrapped hard mode?!

Unused Text

There are three hints that can be found in the DM_HELP.MG, which would've been shown in the story mode on the bottom screen whenever a question mark appears.

HELP_009: Once you pass this point, you will restart here if you die.

HELP_010: You can move by sliding along rails. Press "D-Pad" + Down + B(A) to jump down from a rail.

HELP_012: Hey, Sonic! Watch your step up ahead. It looks like it's really easy to fall!

Unused Models

SkySphere

This model can be found in the System directory alongside other test files. It's a simple sphere with large markers denoting the 3 axes (x,y,z).

Oddities

• The first act of each zone in the Classic Era is infamously a 1:1 recreation of Act 1 from the source game, which results in an amusing quirk in Mushroom Hill Act 1: a checkpoint is placed immediately before the signpost, due to the original Sonic & Knuckles level ending with the Hey Ho boss fight.
