Sonic the Hedgehog (2013)/Beta elements

Main page GlitchesBeta elementsGallery

This article pertains to the beta elements from Sonic the Hedgehog (2013).

Unused animations

Unused strings relating to animations from Sonic the Hedgehog CD, with two of them having frames. The Super Peel Out is just like from Sonic the Hedgehog CD, except Tails uses his fast run animation while Knuckles has nothing. For the Corkscrew H animation, Sonic and Knuckles' versions use seemingly random parts of their sprite sheets but the animation values are actually from one of Christian Whitehead's previous fan game projects. As for Tails, his sprite sheet is just blank.

Including the animantions just mentioned, the unused strings include:

• Bored!
• Super Peel Out
• Sliding
• CorkScrew H
• Corkscrew V
