Shadow the Hedgehog (game)/Beta elements

Beta elements

This article pertains to the beta elements from Shadow the Hedgehog.

Unused sprites[]

Image		Notes
		An early menu screen is found in 003_gamemenu, with Expert Mode being called "Hard Mode" and a "Race Mode" being listed but was not implemented in the final version of the game. The different & present are just placeholder images.
		Found in /cdsFiles/BattleMode.txd in the Xbox version of the game is an early version of the Battle Mode. The text for "Battle Mode" is black but is light gray in the final version. The placeholder images present are images of Glyphic Canyon. A blue colored version of a Shadow Android can be seen as a sprite in the file, which is unseen in the final version of the game. The sprite of the yellow version of a Shadow Android is present in the file, but is seen with a mustache and tie.
		Found in 000_sega is the main Sega logo in red rather than the blue.
		An unused "B Version" is found in the Main Menu's files. This was used in the Beta 4 build of the game.
		An unused "Options" text, as the final version is capitalised.
		The "Story Mode" and "Library" are out of proportion between the ones used in the final game, as the ones used are all capitalized.
		There are eight unused mission icons relating to the Goal Rings/Chaos Emeralds. The Chaos Emerald in Westopolis has another one hidden behind it, which is odd compared to the other ones unused here not having that. The yellow Chaos Emerald for Digital Circuit and Goal Ring icons are still used in-game. However, they do not appear on the top left/right corner of the screen. The Goal Ring almost looks as similar to the Rings icons for Tails' mission, but there are close differences compared side-by-side. The Goal Ring's Mission icon is different than the one used in the pause menu, mostly the shading. Knuckles has an icon of himself, but for reasons unknown. In the final game, the only character icon that exists is Sonic's.



		Three unused variants of GUN Soldier palettes are normally unseen. One is shown in Digital Circuit, a stage normally housing only Gun Beetles, while the other two appearing to be housed in Air Fleet which had GUN soldiers planned but were removed in the final game.


001_e3menu	001_TGSmenu	Two stage selects for the demo versions of the game. 001_e3menu is the one used in the E3 2005 version of the game while 001_TGSmenu is a demo of the game being nearly complete. Though both games have been found, 001_TGSmenu is the only one that has been released with a build date of Oct. 31st, 2005 (nearly two weeks before the game's release).
		A stage select screen (000_MediaMenu) showing the player the choice to play either Glyphic Canyon or Death Ruins. This background is also never used in the final game.

Unused objects[]

Hexagon object[]

Object filename, "SETObj", is unused. However, it has a full model, texture, animation, and game behavior coded for it. "setid.bin" has no stages linked to this object. However the data for the object can be found in Mad Matrix, labeled "WAKKA". The object is a large hollow hexagon that spins at a fixed rate. It resembles the hexagons found on the circuit paths, but much larger. There is no player collision with this object, suggesting it may have been decorative.

Tank[]

An unused tank is found in the game's files. The object is fully functional, just unfinished. It was meant to be a flippable object, as the player can grab it from the bottom as flip it, although the object flips awkwardly weird. There is even voice evidence of Doom's Eye and Knuckles talking about this object. According to their files, the tank seemed to have been planned for Central City. Where the object would have been placed would probably be next to one of the Black Oaks in the stage, acting similar to one of the flippable objects in Cosmic Fall.

Tanks do make a minor appearance during one of The ARK's cutscenes. It is unknown if this object is related to the scrapped tank vehicle Egg Monitor references in Iron Jungle's secret room.

Clip	Character	Transcript
	Doom's Eye	Move that piece of junk out of our way.
	Knuckles	We should be able to flip this tank back over by pushing on it.

Unused sound effects[]

In the System Menu's sound files, there are a few sounds that go unused. Interestingly, they were used in the Beta 4 version of the game.

Clip	Filename	Description
	B3_SHADOW_TEST_3	Early sound effects of the menu for what the player selects. This was changed in the final game.
	B3_SHADOW_TEST_4
	B0_SYSTEM_27	A warp-like sound effect. This was used in the Beta 4 version of the game.

Unused dialogue[]

Orange Light Frame[]

An unused "SETObj" is referred to by all of the characters in unused voice clips, except Maria. Its files are not present in the game. The voice lines exist in the "PRS_VOICE_E.afs" file, retrieved from the GameCube US version of the game. Stages that do not refer to this object are Lethal Highway, Central City, The Doom, The ARK, Lost Impact, The Last Way, and all of the boss stages. The object in question appears to function in a similar manner to a Dash Ring.

Character	Transcript	Stage(s)
Shadow	If I speed up and jump through that light frame, I can get some good distance.	All stages without reference
Sonic	Get your speed up and jump within that orange frame and you'll get some serious air!	Westopolis, Final Haunt
Doom's Eye	Run at high speed and jump within the frame of light ahead.	All stages as Shadow except Cryptic Castle, Circus Park, Iron Jungle and Lava Shelter
Rouge	Jumping within that orange frame at high speed will enable you to get an especially long jump.	Digital Circuit, Death Ruins, GUN Fortress
Knuckles	Run into that orange square and jump! If you time it right, you'll get extra distance!	Glyphic Canyon, Black Comet
Amy	Run fast and jump inside that orange border to go really far!	Cryptic Castle
Eggman	Jump with all your might inside of that orange frame!	Cryptic Castle, Circus Park, Sky Troops, Iron Jungle, Lava Shelter
Charmy	Run and jump inside of that orange square to get a super-big jump!	Prison Island
Tails	If you run up and jump inside of that orange frame, you'll get a lot more distance than usual.	Circus Park, Air Fleet
Omega	Maintain high speed and jump within the orange frame to achieve a long-distance jump.	Iron Jungle, Lava Shelter
Espio	That orange light frame up ahead will let you jump really far. All you have to do is to time your jump!	Mad Matrix
Vector	That orange frame up ahead will send you out on a long jump if you run up and jump inside it!	Cosmic Fall

GUN Soldiers in Air Fleet[]

The GUN Soldiers make several quotes when they appear in-game. However, several unused voice clips prove that they were planned to be seen in Air Fleet as well, as they mention protecting the President's escape pod. They never show up in the final version of the game.

Clip	Transcript
	Terrorist attack at aerial point 0501.
	We are engaging black aliens on board.
	Have any other entry points been compromised?
	They're trying to destroy the escape pod.
	The President should be all right.
	Send out the cannon vehicle!
	Do not let this ship fall into enemy hands.
	Protect the President's escape pod.
	This is our ship, men. Hold your ground!

Losing Rings[]

These are clips pertaining to a Hint Ring that would have told the player that they will lose ten Rings upon getting hit, or lose a life when there are none. Doom's Eye does explain about this in the E3 Demo, but the quote is different compared to the one in the final game. Omega, Vector, and Maria do not seem to have any files related to this voice clip, suggesting it was not meant to appear in The Doom, Iron Jungle, Lost Impact, Lava Shelter, or Cosmic Fall.

Clip	Character	Transcript
	Shadow	I lose ten Rings every time I'm hit. Gotta make sure that I don't run out of Rings.
	Sonic	If attacked, you'll lose ten rings. Be extra careful when you're out of Rings.
	Doom's Eye	Do not run out of Rings, Shadow! Only death awaits you if you are hit without any in hand.
	Rouge	You lose ten Rings if you get hit. If you run out of Rings, taking a hit will really ruin your day.
	Knuckles	Taking damage means you'll lose ten Rings. Be careful that you don't get hit if you don't have any.
	Amy	It's all over for you if you get hit and you're out of Rings. Makes sure to be careful.
	Eggman	Without Rings, you'll be completely defenseless. Make sure you don't run out.
	Charmy	If you're all out of Rings, you need to be extra, extra, careful.
	Tails	If you get hit, you'll lose ten Rings. Make sure not to get hit when you run out.
	Espio	Rings will keep you from getting injured. Make sure to hang onto some at all times.

Command Window[]

None of the characters talk about the Command Window in the final game, but they do talk about the Mission Window.

Clip	Character	Transcript
	Shadow	The Command Window in the lower-right hand corner of the screen shows what actions I can do.
	Sonic	Check out the Command Window in the lower-right hand corner to see what actions you can perform.
	Doom's Eye	The window in the lower-right hand corner shows the moves, weapons, and vehicles at your disposal.
	Rouge	The command window in the lower-right hand corner shows what moves and weapons you have available.
	Knuckles	Make sure to check the Command Window in the lower-right hand corner for your current actions.
	Eggman	The window in the lower-right hand corner lets you check special actions, weapons, and vehicles.

Charging the Gauge[]

Characters explaining how to charge one of the gauges during their respective boss battles with Shadow.

Character	Transcript	Notes
Shadow	The space-time powers of Chaos Control should let me stop this thing from moving!	Likely was not used because all the boss fights in the game contain one partner for Shadow to guide and assist, in which the partner is usually the one mentioning the explanations. The only boss Shadow fights without partners by his side is Devil Doom, though other characters' voices and tips can still be heard.
Sonic	Charge your gauge by attacking Eggman, then use Chaos Control!	Although Sonic meets Eggman, he is never seen to fight him with Shadow in the main game.
Doom's Eye	Attack the enemy to awaken the dark power within you, and then unleash Chaos Blast to destroy everything.
Rouge	Keep hitting him to charge up your gauge, and then use Chaos Control to alter the flow of time.
Knuckles	Charge up your gauge by hitting him, and then you can use Chaos Control to alter the flow of time.	Most likely referring to the Egg Dealer since Black Doom's boss fight is not encountered with Knuckles.
Amy	Keep hitting Eggman until your gauge is full. Then you can use Chaos Control.
Omega	Charge the Hero Gauge. Utilize Chaos Control to activate temporal slowdown.
Espio	Charge up your gauge and use the power of justice to unleash Chaos Control to slow the flow of time.
Vector	If you charge up your gauge, then the power of Chaos Control should freeze the enemy in its tracks.

Chaos Control[]

None of the characters explain more information about Chaos Control, even though these features are true in the game.

Character	Transcript	Notes
Shadow	I can't risk losing track of my objectives by using Chaos Control too recklessly.	Since Shadow is basically heading towards the Goal Ring most of the time, there really is no need for both this and the next quote below. The filenames of both the Gamecube (gc) and Xbox (xb) versions are switched, most likely by mistake.
Shadow	I can press the // button to stop the teleporting when I get to where I need to be.
Sonic	Don't go to nuts when using Chaos Control or you might overshoot your target.
Sonic	Press the // button to stop where you need to.
Doom's Eye	Using the teleportation power of Chaos Control gives a possibility of losing sight of your targets.
Doom's Eye	Be cautious on your surroundings and press the // button to stop where necessary.
Rouge	Chaos Control can be very easy to overshoot an objective. So be careful, okay?	The only way the player can overshoot an objective with Rouge is in Death Ruins as both Digital Circuit and GUN Fortress just head straight for the Goal Ring.
	When you come across a target, press the // button to stop.


Knuckles	When you're using Chaos Control, it can be really easy to go too far too fast. So keep your eyes peeled.
Knuckles	Press the // button if you need to stop someplace.
Amy	When you're using Chaos Control, watch out. You might end up going so fast that you'll miss something.	It's almost impossible to obtain Chaos Control in Cryptic Castle.
Amy	If you need to stop, just press the // button to cancel.
Eggman	Using Chaos Control might cause you to slip up and miss the targets I've set for you.
	Press the // button to stop before you accidentally go too far.


Charmy	Hey, you know your super fast Chaos Control move?
Charmy	If you come across a disc, when using it, press the // button to stop yourself, okay?
Tails	Chaos Control let's you move super fast. So make sure you don't end up going further than you'd like.
Tails	When you get near a target, press the // button to cancel your teleport.
Omega	Use of Chaos Control presents a risk of losing track of targets!
Omega	Press the // button to cancel movement, when target is acquired.
Espio	Chaos Control is optimal for getting yourself in between the towers.	Seems unnecessary as Shadow cannot skip over Espio's mission requirements.
Espio	Press the // button to stop when your over your destination.
Maria	The power of Chaos Control granted to you by my grandfather should be used with great care.
Maria	Press the // button to stop some place so that you don't accidentally miss something.

Lock-on weapons[]

The lock-on weapons, such as the Big Worm Shooter and 8-Shot RPG, would have had their own dialogue for using them.

Clip	Character	Transcript
	Shadow	For weapons that lock-on, hold down the // button to sight them in and then release it to fire.
	Doom's Eye	Hold the // button to lock on a target then release to fire.
	Rouge	For lock-on weapons like that, hold the // button to set your aim and then release it to fire.
	Eggman	Hold the // button to lock that weapon's sights on a target and then release to fire.


	Omega	Auto-lock projectiles can be used by pressing the // button to sight and then releasing to fire.

Laser weapons[]

The laser weapons would have had their own dialogue for using them.

Character	Transcript	Notes
Shadow	Those optical weapons refract laser energy and scatter it in different directions. Interesting.
Sonic	Those laser guns seem to be able to refract off the surface of things they hit.
Doom's Eye	Our most elite soldiers carry optical refractor weapons that can strike multiple targets.
Rouge	Those optical weapons aren't just ordinary lasers, they can also refract off surfaces. Give it a try!
Knuckles	Those lasers carried by the giants bounce off things. Be careful and watch out.	It seemed like the Dark Oaks would have also had a laser gun.
Vector	Watch out, those laser blasts can bounce off of walls! Try grabbing one for yourself if you can!

Steel Containers[]

Steel Containers are found throughout the game, but none of the characters bother explaining about it not being able to be broken or lifted. Some characters, such as Amy and Omega, have their second clips in Japanese (all03_h08) suggesting these hints were scrapped in early development.

Clip	Character	Transcript
	Shadow	I don't think I can break this.
	Shadow	I don't think I can pick this up.
	Sonic	There's no way you'll be able to smash that container.
	Sonic	That container is way to heavy to lift.
	Doom's Eye	That box cannot be broken, leave it.
	Doom's Eye	You are not strong enough to lift that box, leave it.
	Rouge	This container seems different from the others. I don't think it's breakable.
	Rouge	That container is too heavy to lift.
	Knuckles	You might as well just give up trying to break that container.
	Knuckles	That container's too heavy to lift.
	Amy	I don't think that container is going to break.
	Amy	N/A
	Eggman	That box is too tough, just leave it alone.
	Eggman	That box looks rather heavy, forget about trying to lift it.
	Tails	That container seems indestructible.
	Tails	That container is extremely heavy. I don't think there's anyway to lift it.
	Omega	Indestructible container detected.
	Omega	N/A
	Charmy	This thing's tough, I don't think you can break it!
	Charmy	That box is way too heavy. Just leave it there.
	Maria	This container is very sturdy. It seems that you won't be able to break it.
	Maria	That container is too heavy. I don't think you can lift it.
	Espio	This container is too strong to break.
	Espio	The box looks really heavy. There is no way you're going to be able to lift it.
	Vector	Looks like this container can't be broken.
	Vector	That container looks heavy. I bet you won't be able to lift it.

Switches and Target Switches[]

While there are switches placed throughout the game, these voice clips go unused due to either there being no quotes reacting to it or different quotes (telling the player to find a switch) are used instead. Flying/Target target switches on the other hand only exist in Final Haunt when activating the second shield switch for Doom's Eye yet a different voice clip is used instead and interacting with the Hint Ring when playing as Shadow alone in that area will not prompt him to say any quote.

Clip	Character	Transcript
	Shadow	This looks like some sort of switch.
	Shadow	That moving target looks like it's some kind of switch that I need to activate.
	Sonic	Betcha this switch does something.
	Sonic	That looks like a moving switch, try hitting it with something.
	Doom's Eye	This is a switch. It may open up the way ahead.
	Doom's Eye	Fire your weapon at that floating device to break it.
	Rouge	This is a switch. Might as well press it and see what happens.
	Rouge	That's a target switch. You can trigger it by firing your weapons at it.
	Knuckles	Try activating that Switch.
	Knuckles	I bet breaking that moving thing will trigger something.
	Amy	It's some kind of switch. I wonder what it does?
	Amy	That flying device looks like it's some sort of switch. Try hitting it with something.
	Eggman	This switch must do something when you press it.
	Eggman	Shoot that floating switch.
	Charmy	Hey, it's a switch. I wonder what it does?
	Charmy	Hmm... I bet that it's a good idea to smash up that fuzzy machine.
	Tails	This is a switch. I wonder what happens when you press it?
	Tails	That's a target switch. You can trigger it by hitting it with something.
	Maria	This is a switch, but I don't know what it's for.
	Maria	There's a target switch. You can turn it on by hitting it.
	Omega	Switch detected. Try activating it.
	Omega	Target switch detected. Fire at it to break and activate it.
	Espio	This is a switch. It must be hooked up to some type of mechanism.
	Espio	That floating device looks like it's some kind of switch. Try hitting it with something.
	Vector	It's a switch, give it a try!
	Vector	That's a target switch. You can trigger it by breaking it!

Wall running Red Slime[]

At one point in development, the player would have had to wall run to use the Red Slime on the wall. Although there is still Red Slime on the walls in the final game, none of the streams are alongside any walls Shadow can run on. It is possible this idea was scrapped due to difficulty reasons. Amy is the only one, besides Espio and Maria, who do not have this voice clip, suggesting that this feature was not planned to be in Cryptic Castle. However, Omega has the clip, suggesting it would have been used for Iron Jungle and/or Lava Shelter.

Clip	Character	Transcript
	Shadow	It looks like I can use the red paths along the walls by pressing the // Button when wall running.
	Sonic	You should be able to use the red paths while wall running by pressing the // Button.
	Doom's Eye	You can use your dark Spin Dash on red streams that run along the walls by pressing the // Button.
	Rouge	The red streams on the wall work like the others. Just press the // Button while wall running.


	Knuckles	I think you can use the red paths on the wall by pressing the // Button while running along them.
	Eggman	You can use the red streams on the wall by pressing the // Button when wall running.


	Charmy	You can use the red slime while wall running by using the // Button to zip right through it.
	Tails	You can use the red liquid while wall running by using the // Button. Why not give it a try?
	Omega	Red areas on wall services can be used by pressing the // Button while running along the wall.
	Vector	You can use the slime pathways on the wall by pressing the // Button when running past them.

Fans requiring Switches[]

None of the Fans in the game require a Switch to turn on, not to mention that most of the characters do not run into any Fans in the stages. Cryptic Castle features the only Fan that gets switched off, but requires the player to defeat both the Egg Pawns in order for it to turn on (in Expert Mode, the player just needs to find Cheese).

Clip	Character	Transcript
	Shadow	I think I can turn this Fan on by activating some kind of Switch.
	Sonic	It looks like that Fan isn't turned on.
	Doom's Eye	Find the Switch to activate the wind current here.
	Rouge	If you find the Switch, you can turn that Fan on.
	Knuckles	Those propellers can probably be started with some type of Switch.
	Amy	That Fan looks like it's been switched off.
	Eggman	You need to turn on the Switch to this Fan.
	Tails	Looks like you need to find a Switch to start that Fan.
	Maria	That air condition unit won't turn on till you find a Switch.
	Omega	Activate Fan by detecting the proper Switch.
	Vector	It doesn't look like that Fan is switched on.

Heal Units[]

There are three quote descriptions about the Heal Units. Although the first one can be heard in Lethal Highway for Shadow, Sonic, and Doom's Eye, the other two are never heard. Maria also reacts to the Heal Units, but only the Heal Unit Server.

Clip	Character	Transcript
	Shadow	Anyone who gets hit with this will temporarily lose their will to fight.
	Shadow	Using Heal Units is perfect to avoid unnecessary fighting.
	Sonic	People hit by a Heal Unit will be stunned and won't be able to fight for a time.
	Sonic	If you don't have the urge to fight someone that's bugging you, just throw that capsule at them.
	Doom's Eye	There is a component to this medicine that suppresses human's violent instincts.
	Doom's Eye	If my soldiers become to aggressive against you, just use a Heal Unit to suppress them.
	Rouge	That's a Heal Unit. It has the ability to restore not only living things but robots as well.
		While being healed by a Heal Unit, they immediately lose their will to fight.
		Another useful purpose for the Heal Unit is to avoid engaging the enemy.
	Knuckles	Throwing this at someone will heal them from any aliment.
		Being hit by a Heal Unit makes someone lightheaded and unwilling to fight.
		A Heal Unit's soothing powers can help you avoid fighting an opponent that you want to slip past.
	Amy	If you toss this to an injured person, it'll heal them in no time.
		When a person is healed by a Heal Unit, they also lose their will to fight.
		When you don't want to fight an enemy, throw a Heal Unit at them. Then just sneak past them.
	Eggman	That light capsule seems to have the power to heal people.
		This capsule doesn't just heal people, it also has a soothing effect on the sub conscious.
		Using Heal Units to distract enemies can be a very helpful tactic when you're in a rush.
	Charmy	Give this to someone who's hurt and it'll heal them.
		When someone is healed by a heal unit, they also get really calm for a while.
		Use a heal unit to stun people, and then you can run pass'em without fighting.
	Tails	This is a Heal Unit. It can heal anyone if you toss it at them.
		Being hit by a Heal Unit causes a person's vitals to drop and makes them lose the will to fight.
		Even if someone isn't injured, you can still use a Heal Unit to stun them so there's no need to fight.
	Maria	That's a Heal Unit. If you throw it to someone that's wounded, it will heal them immediately.
		Heal Units do not just heal wounds, they also have the effect of greatly calming someone down.
		By using Heal Units, you can incapacitate those GUN soldiers without hurting them.
	Omega	This is a Heal Unit, which can restore both organic and mechanical entities.
		The Heal Unit's side effect suppresses one's aggressive instincts.
		Use a Heal Unit to avoid enemy confrontation.
	Vector	That's a heal unit! Toss it at an injured person and they'll recover immediately.
		In addition to its healing power, a heal unit also takes the person's willingness to fight.
		Even if someone's not injured, you can still use a heal unit to suppress their will to fight.

Gun Beetle's bombs[]

At one point in development, the Gun Beetles would have dropped bombs that the player could pick up and throw at enemies. These can be readded into the game via hacking.

Clip	Character	Transcript
	Shadow	I can use those bombs that the GUN robots are dropping.
	Sonic	Pick up the bombs that the robots are dropping and use them at the black creatures.
	Doom's Eye	Those foolish soldiers think that they're weapons can harm us? Show them we're invincible.
	Rouge	The bombs that the Gun Beetles drop have time detonation. So try to pick them up and use them yourself.
	Eggman	You can pick the GUN robot's bombs before they explode and throw them back at them.
	Charmy	That robot's giving out free bombs. Help yourself Shadow.
	Tails	If you get to the Gun Beetles' bombs before they explode, you can pick them up and use them yourself.
	Omega	Retrieve the bombs dropped by the GUN Beetles and use them to destroy Eggman's robots!
	Maria	It's a bit dangerous, but you can pick up the GUN sentry robot's bombs before they explode.

Shadow getting locked-on[]

There are quotes for what to do if the player gets locked on from a GUN Robot (possibly the GUN Troopers). Omega does not seem to have this clip so it could be that this quote would have not been in Iron Jungle.

Clip	Character	Transcript
	Shadow	That GUN robot is equipped with an automatic tracking missile.
	Sonic	If that GUN robot locks onto you with its weapons, you've got to shake them off.
	Doom's Eye	If that bipedal mech gets a lock on you, do not panic. Just concentrate on avoiding impact.
	Rouge	That GUN robot is equipped with automatic tracking missiles. If it locks on, do your best to evade.
	Knuckles	That GUN robot fires tracking missiles after a while. If it locks onto you, don't come near me!
	Dr. Eggman	That robot's auto-target missiles are highly accurate. Watch your step and don't slip up.
	Charmy	That tough robot shoots missiles that won't leave you alone.
	Tails	That GUN robot is armed with a auto-tracking missile system.
	Maria	If you're targeted by a GUN missile, don't worry about me. Just run.
	Vector	That robot's missiles follow their target. Watch where it's going and do your best to dodge.

Black Birds[]

Characters warning Shadow about either the Black Birds or Black Hawks when attacking.

Clip	Character	Transcript
	Shadow	Those black birds are heading this way.
	Sonic	Look out! That pack of Black Birds is dive bombing their way towards us!
	Doom's Eye	Do not underestimate them. They are far more than mere birds.
	Rouge	Those black birds are hurtling themselves right at us. So look out.
	Knuckles	Those bird-like creatures are flying straight toward us! Get out of the way!
	Amy	Those bird monsters, they're coming right for us! Look out!
	Eggman	Those Black Birds are trying to reek havoc. Take them out now while you still can.
	Tails	Those Black Birds are coming in on a high-speed collision course, watch out!
	Espio	Those black birds are doing everything they can to get in your way.
	Vector	Those bird monsters are coming in on a dive bombing run. Don't let them get you.

Dark Oak's description[]

Three quotes for each character, except Maria, Charmy, Rouge, Espio, and Omega, explaining how to defeat and dodge the Dark Oak. It seems that there were also weak points, such as the head and knees. However, anywhere around its body makes no difference.

Clip	Character	Text
	Shadow	When he swings his sword sideways, he'll be off balance.
		I can avoid that hammer attack by jumping.
		He looks vulnerable right after he attacks.
	Sonic	Shadow, when this big guy swings its sword to the side, he loses some of his footing!
		Jump up to avoid that thing's hammer attack!
		Shadow, after the giant attacks, that's your chance to counter!
	Doom's Eye	Our giant's swordsman has only one weakness. When he swings horizontally, his feet are vulnerable.
		Do not get caught in our giant's attack. Stay out of his way and jump.
		After the giant attacks, there is a brief opening to strike its knee. These pathetic humans are helpless.
	Knuckles	This big guy ends up off balance after swinging its sword sideways!
		Jump to avoid the giant's hammer attack!
		This guy's big, but he's got no stamina. After he latches out, that's your chance to attack!
	Eggman	My analysis shows that when the giant swings his sword sideways, you'll have a clear shot at his feet.
		It seems all you need to do is simply jump to avoid being hit by that giant's hammer.
		According to my analysis, after the giant swings his weapon, he's vulnerable to attack.
	Tails	Shadow, when the alien sword giant swings his sword horizontally, that's your chance to hit him down low!
		Shadow, you can avoid the giant's hammer attack by jumping!
		Shadow, after the giant takes a big swing, that's your chance!
	Vector	When the giant swings his sword sideways, that's your chance to attack his feet!
		Shadow! Jump to avoid the giant's hammer attack!
		You have a chance to hit him right after he calms down. The great detective triumphs again!

Homing Attacking Shadow Androids[]

Quotes for Shadow, Egg Monitor, and Omega have hints that would relate to the Shadow Androids saying that using Homing Attacks would be noneffective. Though Homing Attacks aren't very effective, and the player would've most likely used other means anyways, this remains false as the player can still hurt these enemies. Interestingly, Eggman mentions Sonic in this clip where throughout the final game he does not.

Clip	Character	Text
	Shadow	My Homing Attack has no effect. Hmm... I'll just have to find another way then.
	Eggman	My Shadow Android was made impervious to Homing Attacks in order to combat Sonic.
	Omega	Homing Attacks are ineffective against this fake Shadow. Try a different means of attack.

Black Assassin's Refractor[]

Clip	Character	Text
	Shadow	I need to figure out the trajectory of that Laser Weapon.
	Sonic	He's using his refractor laser to sneak in his shots at us! Keep a sharp eye, Shadow!
	Doom's Eye	The refractor is our ultimate weapon, designed for our elite troops to strike from blind spots.
	Knuckles	That weapon he's using takes a second to aim. Use that time to figure out how to dodge it!

Air Saucer[]

Some of the air saucers, like Lava Shelter, are unmanned. Vector also has a voice clip despite not having other dialogue on how to use it.

Clip	Character	Text
	Shadow	I can steal that vehicle if I knock that creature off.
	Sonic	How about jacking that black creature's vehicle for a little joyride, what do you say?
	Doom's Eye	If you want to use one of our soldiers' Air Saucers, you will have to take it by force.
	Rouge	Shadow, try hijacking that Black Arms' flying device.
	Knuckles	If you can knock those aliens of they're little vehicles, I think we can use them.
	Eggman	What are you holding back for? Knock out the alien and take it's flying disc for yourself.
	Charmy	Hey, no fair! I wanna ride on the flying disc too.
	Tails	I think you can probably use the vehicles, the black creatures are riding.
	Vector	Knock out the alien riding on the flying disc and take it for yourself.

Carrying the Killer Plant[]

According to these voice clips, the player could at one point carry the seed of the Killer Plant after stunning it. However, it just sits there, besides coming back out again. In Prison Island, the player could either throw the seed into enemies or throw it into one of the cells. However, even if this was used, the enemies are nowhere near the plant. Unless the player decides to not mess with the enemies, there is really no way for the player to do this action. As for the cells, they are too tall for any object to be thrown inside.

Character	Transcript	Stage
Doom's Eye	If the Killer Plant is stunned, it becomes a seed where upon it can spawn again elsewhere.	Both
Doom's Eye	Throw the plant seed at the GUN soldiers.	Prison Island
Charmy	That scary plant turns into a seed that you can pick up, if you defeat it.
Charmy	Throw the plant seed into the prison cell.
Rouge	When that plant is stunned, it turns into a seed. It looks like you can pick it up.	Death Ruins

Boss idle quotes[]

If the player stands still long enough, without getting hit, a quote will be said by the character. There are quotes for boss battles too. While some can be heard without any problems, others are almost impossible to be heard. Although Chaos Blast/Chaos Control increases the chances slightly, it is only for a limited time or it is impossible to even get one at all. The only way the player can listen to these quotes in-game easily is by hacking.

Character	Boss	Transcript
Rouge	Black Bull	I wonder what tomorrow has in store for us?
Rouge	Black Bull	What a repulsive creature.
Amy	Egg Breaker	Go and show that stupid robot who's boss!
Amy	Egg Breaker	This place give me the creeps...
Doom's Eye	Heavy Dog	Behold! Human greed!
	Heavy Dog	Now do you remember? This is what human beings truly are.
	Blue Falcon	Smash that pathetic weapon to pieces!
	Blue Falcon	What is it that these humans really hope to accomplish?
	Sonic & Diablon (GUN Fortress)	Heh! So this is mankind's most powerful weapon?
	Sonic & Diablon (GUN Fortress)	Now, deliver swift judgement on them!
	Sonic & Diablon	Worthless organism!
	Sonic & Diablon	Finish him off!

Hurt quotes[]

In gameplay, none of the side characters who float in the air (Doom's Eye, Egg Monitor and Charmy) can get hurt whatsoever. However, all three characters still have voice clips associated to when they are hit in gameplay.

Clip	Character	Transcript
	Doom's Eye	Rgh!
	Eggman	Ahh!
	Charmy	Ugh!

Obtaining an item[]

In the final game, the characters can automatically grab an item for the player. When they grab a lifebox though, it would only play Shadow's voice clip. However, the characters have voice clips assigned to this action.

Clip	Character	Transcript
	Sonic	Yes!
	Doom's Eye	Hmph!
	Rouge	Mmhmm.
	Knuckles	Yeah!
	Amy	Alright!
	Eggman	Got it!
	Charmy	I'll take that!
	Tails	Got it!
	Maria	Alright!
	Omega	Item obtained!
	Espio	Ok!
	Vector	Aha!

Boss Grunt quotes[]

When attacking the bosses in the game, all of them (except for Black Doom, Heavy Dog, and Blue Falcon) remain silent after the first hit and after about half the health bar has been depleted. However, there are quotes for Egg Breaker/Egg Dealer, Sonic, and Diablon/GUN Commander receiving damage from Shadow. While it's unknown why both Eggman's and Diablon's quotes go unused, it's possible that Sonic's goes unused due to him using his hurt quotes that's used throughout the game itself though other files suggest he was going to have his own health bar in the fight with Diablon.

Stages[]

Westopolis[]

Character	Transcript	Notes
Sonic	I can't believe those creatures are doing this!	Most likely meant for the beginning, which the player cannot backtrack to.
Doom's Eye	Let the humans feel our wrath!
Sonic	It looks like the GUN have taken possession of the Chaos Emerald.	The Black Warrior is the one who has the Chaos Emerald that is locked up in a cage.
Doom's Eye	Those human fools! They'll surrender the Chaos Emerald soon enough.
Sonic	Those aliens may think they're tough by using those lasers, but we'll have the last laugh.
Doom's Eye	Our laser barrage has those humans on their knees! Victory is ours.
Sonic	Watch out for those lasers!	Seems like an early voice clip warning the player about the lasers
Doom's Eye	Don't get near our lasers!
Sonic	GUN is engaged in combat with the black creatures.
Doom's Eye	Our soldiers are primed to take this area. Help them destroy those humans!
Shadow	I think I can use those footholds on the wall.	Possibly relating to one of the secret keys.
Sonic	Try getting onto those footholds, on the wall, before the lasers destroy them!
Doom's Eye	Use those steps before the lasers target and destroy them.
Shadow	Hmm... I've gotta hurry or I won't make it.	It seemed that a pathway would have to be made as soon as possible before getting destroyed.
Sonic	Shadow, you need to get across before it collapses.
Doom's Eye	Shadow, hurry! Just don't stand there.

Glyphic Canyon[]

Character	Transcript	Notes
Shadow	That must be the Chaos Emerald that Knuckles mentioned.	None of these clips get used when the player gets near the Goal Ring.
Doom's Eye	Where are you going? You have been ordered to reawaken our temple!
Knuckles	Hey, that's my Emerald! Wait, we still haven't taken care of those aliens who stole it!
Doom's Eye	Leave the human.	It seemed like somewhere in the level that a GUN Soldier was planned to be on the ground, like the ones in Lethal Highway. However, this never gets used.
Knuckles	It looks like the aliens got' em.
Knuckles	These things give me the creeps.	Most likely an early clip for the statues.
Doom's Eye	Use those bombs against the humans.	It seems like the player could use either the bombs, like normal, or have the player somehow discard them.
Knuckles	These bombs are a nuisance, find someplace to discard them!
Doom's Eye	Use your head and find a way.
Knuckles	That's one intense attack! I wonder if there's a practical use for that?
Shadow	This stone slab... There's a gap between it and the ground. Maybe I can use that to my advantage.	It seemed that stone slabs were once planned before being scrapped.
Doom's Eye	Those stone plates are part of our sacred temple! Do not touch them.
Knuckles	You can flip those huge stone slabs and smash those aliens.

Lethal Highway[]

Character	Transcript	Notes
Sonic	That vehicle is pretty tough. Personally, I wouldn't be caught dead in a car without windows.	Relating to the Convertibles.
Sonic	GUN's blocked the road, just ignore them! Put the pedal to the metal and bust on through!	Possibly related to the fences, before the fourth Checkpoint.
Doom's Eye	Do those humans really think they can stop us? Shadow, clear the way.
Doom's Eye	This is a Black Arms' transport. Do not worry, just go.	Possibly meant for the beginning of the level when the player first meets the Black Tank.
Sonic	Ah-ha! That tank just set a barrier up around itself.
Sonic	The barrier changes color as it weakens.	Related to the Black Tank.
Sonic	If you get to close to the tank, it'll turn on it's thrusters and run you down! Watch out!	The Black Tank does stop about twice, but it never does it constantly if that player gets up close.
Doom's Eye	Maintain safe distance from the tank, or you'll risk injury.
Sonic	It looks like GUN has some soldiers waiting in there.	There seemed to be some small bases planned for Lethal Highway at one point.
Doom's Eye	A human military base, how quaint. Now, destroy it!
Shadow	I can move this slab of roadway.	Talking about the slabs that Shadow can lift up and flip over. There is one next to a couple GUN Soldiers at the beginning, but the Hint Ring just tells the player how to lift it.
Sonic	Those slabs of road look movable.
Doom's Eye	Hurl that slab at those human fools!
Shadow	I need to find someway to get up there.	Most likely would relate to the rooms with the rocket.
Sonic	I think that something is up here.
Doom's Eye	There is no time for detours. Continue moving forward.
Sonic	Alright, it's working! Keep going!	The Black Tank taking some damage.
Sonic	It's getting weaker! The barrier's not gonna hold up forever!	The Black Tanks when it has it's green shield.
Sonic	Just a little more, finish it off!	The player almost defeating the Black Tank, having it with no shields left.

Cryptic Castle[]

Character	Transcript	Notes
Amy	Oh, there's more of them!	Relating to the ghost-like enemies.
Eggman	Get out of our way!	Relating to the ghost-like enemies.
Amy	Shadow, you can break through this door right?	Related to the door at the beginning of the stage. However, it's impossible to get into it as the hint mark disappears. Although it is possible to glitch over the trigger, the Hint Ring is hardcoded to Shadow.
Eggman	This door might be poorly made, but don't do anything to rash.

Prison Island[]

Character	Transcript	Notes
Doom's Eye	Hahaha... The time has come for the soldiers to taste they're own medicine.	The GUN Robots do not spawn inside the prison cells.
Charmy	Hey, how come the GUN soldiers are inside their own cells?	The GUN Robots do not spawn inside the prison cells.
Doom's Eye	Human construction methods are sorely lacking.	Characters talking about the level's environment.
Charmy	This is pretty neat. The jungle has grown together with the prison.	Characters talking about the level's environment.
Doom's Eye	Use a weapon to shoot the cowards through those bars!	Unknown if it was meant for the GUN Robots or Black Arms.
Charmy	I think you can still hit the bad guys in the cells from the outside.	Unknown if it was meant for the GUN Robots or Black Arms.
Shadow	GUN has locked this door somehow.	The only thing that GUN locked is a cage. They never locked a door, as the one that is locked opens thanks to a Switch.
Doom's Eye	You need to take out the Soldiers first.
Charmy	GUN's got this door locked.
Shadow	If I can jump onto the GUN Panel over the river, I can get some distance.
Doom's Eye	Use the human panel above the river.
Charmy	There's a jump panel over the river! I wonder where it will take you?
Charmy	Huh? Hey, did you see something shiny back there?	Related to one of the top secret disks.

Circus Park[]

Character	Transcript	Notes
Eggman	Ohohohoho!!!	Possibly related to the Roller Coasters.
Tails	Wah! Sigh, that scared the heck out of me.	Possibly related to the Roller Coasters.
Shadow	Looks like this room is another shooting gallery.	Relating to the Secret Door. However, it seemed that the secret room had a name too, as Tails said that the name of it is somewhere in the room. However, there is no sign or words that tell the area of the name said in-game.
Eggman	Welcome to the special V.I.P. only shooting range! Here's your chance to get a bunch of Bonus Balloons!
Tails	This is apparently the VIP Shooting Gallery. It says "Bonus Balloon Bonanza" over there.

Central City[]

Character	Transcript	Notes
Knuckles	The whole area is covered with bombs, just what are these creatures planning to do?
Knuckles	It looks like all the citizens got out safely, but we still have to save the city!
Knuckles	I've seen a lot of ruins in my time, but this here takes the cake.
Doom's Eye	These smaller bombs were left here to distract the humans. Leave them.	This quote would have played when Shadow gets near to the smaller bomb next to Knuckles at the beginning of the level. Although Knuckles mentions it, Doom's Eye does not.
Doom's Eye	Do you understand? The City Annihilator Bombs are only active for a few minutes. Shadow, you must set them off while the humans are distracted by the smaller bombs.	Possible quote about the time limit.
Knuckles	Like I mentioned before, the bombs will eventually detonate. You need to disarm them before it's too late!	Possible quote about the time limit.
Doom's Eye	You have failed your mission!	Supposed to play when the timer runs out.
Doom's Eye	These City Annihilator Bombs have been placed in high places around the city. Follow the beams of light, that the bombs are transmitting, and track them down! Do not delay.	The 4th City Annihilator Bombs does not seem to be in a high place.
Shadow	As long as the large bomb doesn't take insufficient impact, it won't detonate.	None of the characters react to the first City Annihilator Bomb.
Doom's Eye	That is one of the City Annihilator Bombs. Detonate it before it disarms.
Knuckles	How stupid are those creeps? They forgot all about this huge bomb that's a dud.
Knuckles	That Vacuum Gun can also suck up the gas those Black Creatures have released.	It seemed that the gas would have been planned for this stage at one point.
Doom's Eye	Pathetic humans. Why do they not concede the end of their existence?	These four voice clips, including one more that is used in the final game, have file names "cty04_e0" numbered 0-4. These file names do not exist for Shadow and/or Knuckles, nor there are file missions (which would be "cty04_m0" if so) that could relate to a 4th city to be planned for this game.
Doom's Eye	The way that these humans exist on this miserable rock, how pathetic.
Doom's Eye	This is just the beginning. Now, the real invasion begins
Doom's Eye	Set off this City Annihilator Bomb while there is still time (repeat) and witness humanity hopes disappear.

The Doom[]

Character	Transcript	Notes
Doom's Eye	Humanity creates things only to later destroy them. See what foolish creatures they are?	Reaction of what destruction happened in the Ark.
Maria	Oh no! How could they do this?	Reaction of what destruction happened in the Ark.
Doom's Eye	We are outside the residential area. Do not fall.	Related to outside sections of the Ark.
Maria	Power conduits run through on this side. The floor is exposed, so be careful.	Related to outside sections of the Ark.
Doom's Eye	In the end, the Ark is still the ultimate weapon.
Maria	These bombs were invented here as well. They were created at low cost for peacekeeping purposes.	Information on how the bombs were made.
Doom's Eye	Do not hesitate! Now go.
Doom's Eye	Those soldiers could come blasting through at any moment. Be on your guard.	The player runs into this more than once. It's unknown why this was never used.
Maria	GUN soldiers might blast though the walls again, so be on your guard.
Maria	I wonder if there are any Heal Units near by?	Most of the Heal Units are close by, some being seen before the wounded researchers are found.
Maria	If there aren't any Heal Units near by, we can go back to the room where the Heal Unit server is.	A similar, yet different, quote is used instead.

Sky Troops[]

Clip	Character	Transcript	Notes
	Doom's Eye	That is one of the foolish scientist's battleships, go! Use our turrets and blast him out of the sky!	Like some objectives in other levels, Doom's Eye would have have told the player about the mission he needs to do. Since other quotes about it are used, this goes unused.
	Doom's Eye	Where are you going, Shadow? That battleship is getting away!	Similar to above. However, the Battleship cannot flee from the mission since there are five battleships and they are not chase sequences like the other ones, such as Air Fleet.

Mad Matrix[]

Character	Transcript	Notes
Shadow	Ah!	Between these three clips, it's hard to know what this was intended to be used for.
Doom's Eye	Go!
Espio	Hah!
Doom's Eye	The bombs are all outside! Go back.	These quotes were most likely meant to be used, but they have different ones probably added by mistake.
Espio	So this is the inside of the Yellow Tower.
Doom's Eye	How long do you intend to keep doing this? Find the exit.	Possibly for either the green or red towers.
Espio	I'm getting really dizzy here. I think I'm losing my touch.	Possibly for either the green or red towers.
Doom's Eye	Avoid the red defense wall.	Referencing the firewalls placed throughout the level.
Espio	Watch out for that red block!
Doom's Eye	Approaching defensive wall.
Espio	Another red block!
Doom's Eye	What is wrong? Can you not keep up with this pace?
Espio	Phew. I guess I'm a bit out of shape.
Shadow	I don't think I should step on that floor.	None of the floors have traps.
Doom's Eye	Do not touch that floor.
Espio	That floor looks booby trapped.
Doom's Eye	Touch these light panels so they are all the same color.	Meant at the beginning of the stage. However, there is no way to get this as the Hint Mark vanishes when the first colored panel is done. Even if the player dies and respawns, with Doom's Eye, the area is locked up with no way to get in.
Shadow	Looks like it's another color puzzle.	Meant for the Yellow Tower. However, it doesn't play.
Shadow	This is the entry way to another Light Speed Circuit.
Doom's Eye	Use this electron corridor and look for the bombs.
Espio	We can hop on to another light corridor from here.

Death Ruins[]

Character	Transcript	Notes
Doom's Eye	Some of our soldiers will remain here, keep moving!	Doom's Eye has a similar quote is used instead.
Rouge	The ruins continue along this side as well.	Doom's Eye has a similar quote is used instead.
Doom's Eye	Do not hesitate! Now go!
Rouge	I wonder what's up though there? Shall we have a look?
Shadow	There's something underneath this rubble.	Meant for the liftable objects.
Doom's Eye	Tear up this stone floor!
Rouge	I think you can lift up parts of this floor. There's got to be something underneath.

The Ark[]

Character	Transcript	Notes
Doom's Eye	That is one of our formations. Do not engage.	As the player progresses through the level, they do see formations of GUN Robots as they fly around. The same thing would've seemed to apply to the Black Arms. However, the only thing closest to this clip would be the ones after the third Defense Unit.
Doom's Eye	Do not hit any of the meteors.
Doom's Eye	The Black Volt can pulverize these space rocks.
Doom's Eye	Shoot and take out the barrier that is in our way.	None of the barriers are in Shadow's way. Along with that, Doom's Eye usually tells the player to not waste time with them.
Doom's Eye	Do not fly too off course and avoid going in circles.	Doom's Eye saying to try not to backtrack if the players misses a Defense Unit.
Doom's Eye	We can fly into the tunnel below.	Possibly talking about the very last tunnel before the Goal Ring.
Doom's Eye	The accelerator devices will lead you on a different path.	There seemed to be another path planned somewhere in the stage, possibly where the Dash Rings due to the words "Accelerator Devices" being mentioned.
Doom's Eye	Humans are approaching from below. Get the Black Volt ready to fire.	The player would most likely see them immediately and start to attack before Doom's Eye even makes this quote.
Shadow	I need to find another one of those bird creatures to proceed ahead.	The player would've probably had to search for the Black Volt at one point. Due to how small the platforms are, it's not really hard to find one.
Doom's Eye	There should be a Black Volt in the area. Find it.

Air Fleet[]

Character	Transcript	Notes
Doom's Eye	A human weapons depository. They have taken our army's possessions. They shall pay dearly for that.	The Weapons Cache seemed to have vehicles and alien weapons at one point.
Tails	This looks like a GUN's Weapons Cache. They've got alien weapons and vehicles stored too.
Doom's Eye	Jumping over those attacks should be no trouble.	Relating to the Laser Turrets at the beginning of of the game, next to the locked door. The only way to get there, however, is with a well-time Spin Dash Jump on the side of the Checkpoint and then Triangle-Jumping on the way back.
Doom's Eye	Oh, our reinforcements have arrived.	The Gun Ships, from the Black Comet stages, would have also appeared as enemies to defeat too.
Tails	Ahh!! Incoming Black Alien Gun Ship.
Doom's Eye	The Escape Pod seems to be heading for the lowest deck of this Battleship, do not let it get away.
Tails	Ah! They're firing at us from the sawed passage.
Doom's Eye	Use one of our Air Saucers to proceed along this rail without getting hurt.	Just like with the Laser Turrets, the same thing goes for the Air Saucer in the Secret Door.
Shadow	There's a space here between this grading and the floor, where I can slip my hands through.	There are only two of these objects in Air Fleet, but neither of them activate the quote probably because it just destroys the GUN Beetles, which Tails wants Shadow to avoid doing.
Doom's Eye	Lift that grate off of the floor and use it to stop the humans.
Tails	Do you think that you can lift that grading up?
Shadow	I think this door opens with a switch.	None of the doors are controlled by a switch.
Doom's Eye	There seems to be some device that'll open up this door.
Tails	This door seems to be controlled by a switch.

Iron Jungle[]

Character	Transcript	Notes
Eggman	Watch this, Shadow! Witness my cannon as they annihilate those G.U.N. fools!	It seems possible that at one point the Egg Balloon would aim directly at G.U.N. units and not just Shadow. In-game, G.U.N robots are immune to the Egg Balloon's projectiles and explosions.
Omega	Warning! Egg Balloon equipped with Bazooka!
Eggman	Ohohohohohoh! Look at those GUN fools burn, Shadow!	This was probably scrapped as it being a little too violent, as the game was planned to be rated "T" before changing it. Even if this was used, there is no way G.U.N robots would be seen burning.
Omega	Incoming bombs from Egg Balloon. Take evasive action!
Eggman	Now hurry, Shadow. We don't have any time to waste!	Since there is no actual time limit for the Dark mission, this clip may have been unnecessary other than to add more suspense to the stage. It also seems that the propeller would have the same effects as a fan (for Omega as the clip had the same filename as Eggman's). Since the Egg Balloon would not make it to the player from behind, it goes unused. Along with that, there are no poles to hang onto during this action.
Omega	Egg Balloon's propulsion's system creating strong wind current. Must secure footing!
Eggman	Don't worry. My robots have this door sealed shut.	Different voice clip were used instead of these two.
Omega	Eggman's Robots have this door locked.	Different voice clip were used instead of these two.
Omega	Fire those bombs at the Egg Balloon!	Even if this was used, there is not enough distance for the bombs to reach the Egg Balloon.
Eggman	The only way to get through this room is to take out all of my robots.	Probably relating to the rooms with the elevator, which utilizes a different voice clip instead of this one.
Omega	Eggman robots incoming! Multiple attack formations detected!

Space Gadget[]

Character	Transcript	Notes
Sonic	Come on! Catch me if you can.	Possibly meant when switching to the character.
Sonic	What's up? If you just sit there like that, the Emerald's mine.	Meeting Sonic in Space Gadget a second time. It seems that the player would've met Sonic somewhere throughout the stage, just like all other characters. However, since this is a race, he is nowhere to be seen throughout the stage (Same thing goes with the other one below).
Sonic	About time you got your engine up and running. Won't matter though, I'm still gonna win this race.	Meeting Sonic in Space Gadget for a 3rd time.
Sonic	That Emerald's mine, Shadow.	Choosing the mission in the Pause Menu. Shadow's quote from the Neutral Mission is played instead since both of them are basically the same thing except one is on a time limit.
Doom's Eye	Your sense of up and down has been restored.
Doom's Eye	Our forces have already taken the area below. Do not mind them, press onward.
Doom's Eye	The Ark... Only Professor Gerald could make an artificial planet, like this.
Doom's Eye	This is the source of the gravity switching device.	Either Doom's Eye is talking about the device the player touches to change gravity, or an actual power source for the devices.
Shadow	Meteors are coming in from up ahead, I have to be sure I don't get hit.	This would only fit at the end where the Chaos Emerald is.
Doom's Eye	Do not get hit by those meteors.	This would only fit at the end where the Chaos Emerald is.
Doom's Eye	The defensive barriers are preventing you from going any further.	The Defense Units are never in Shadow's way.
Shadow	If I fall off here, then I'm space dust.
Doom's Eye	Do not fall here or you will vaporize in the Earth's atmosphere.
Shadow	I can use the monitor as a jumping point.	Possibly scrapped as the only monitors that exist are the ones that say "Emergancy", which is only used in The Doom and Cosmic Fall. It was possibly planned for the rooms to where one of the Chaos Emeralds would in Cosmic Fall.
Doom's Eye	Use the display screen to proceed.

Lost Impact[]

Character	Transcript	Notes
Maria	This used to be just a normal passageway, but now I'm just terrified by it.	There are no secret passageways in Lost Impact, nor The Doom either.
Maria	Watch out for research experiments attacking from above.	A different quote is used instead of this one in the final game.
Maria	Check the radar carefully, and track down the research experiments.	The map would make it useless to search for the Artificial Chaos since they're not on there.
Maria	Research experiments keep on coming out from inside there.	There seemed to be some sort of cluster of Artificial Chaos enemies the player would have to deal with. Instead, they are spread out everywhere.
Maria	Try destroying the device that the research experiments are coming out of.	It seemed that there was some sort of spawner planned for Maria's mission in Lost Impact where the player would have to destroy the object the Artificial Chaos are continuously spawning out of. In the final game, this does not exist anywhere throughout the stage. However, the GUN Soldiers to mention on destroying the Research Pods.

GUN Fortress[]

Character	Transcript	Notes
Shadow	So, this is GUN's last remaining strong hold.	Explains the stage itself, most likely at the beginning of the level.
Rouge	This is a hangar for special military craft.	No such room exists.
Doom's Eye	Hmph! So the humans think they can surround us? Use that turret and destroy them.	There seemed to have been enemies planned above the player would have to shoot at in the turret.
Rouge	They're aiming at us from up above! How about you hop in that turret, and give them a little surprise?
Doom's Eye	This rail goes all the way down. Hold on tight to the pulley.	None of the characters talk about the pulley. A blooper also exists for Rouge in this clip.
Rouge	Hold on to this pulley and use it to make your way down. Watch out for potential ambushes along the way.
Doom's Eye	The third point has been suppressed. After destroying the final node, the military might of this planet will be terminated	It seemed that there were originally going to be four Mother Computers instead of just three.

Black Comet[]

Character	Transcript	Notes
Doom's Eye	Be aware of the lasers above you.	It seemed that the Black Comet was going to have some laser beams, just like Westopolis.
Knuckles	Watch out for the laser beams, coming down from the ceiling!
Doom's Eye	My soldiers must've mistaken you for an intruder.	The third save point remains true for this quote. A similar one is true at the fifth save point, even though GUN is up there.
Knuckles	We're being shot at from above the bridge!
Doom's Eye	These mines have been set to ward off intruders.	There are mines after the Black Slabs, but they aren't much of a huge threat.
Knuckles	The Black Aliens have set the mines, they'll explode if you touch them.

Lava Shelter[]

Character	Transcript	Notes
Eggman	Watch out for those jets of flame.	Some fire rises from the ground but many of them do not harm Shadow.
Omega	Flammable material detected. Warning!
Eggman	Get up onto the current through this exhaust duct.	There's no exhaust ducts, nor currents. But there are fans.
Omega	Use the thermal vents' gusts.	There's no exhaust ducts, nor currents. But there are fans.
Eggman	Those ledges have risen, along with the Lava.
Omega	These footholds are suspended due to the rise of the magma level.
Omega	Eggman's presence detected on radar. This way.	Omega only appears at the beginning area of the stage and nowhere else. The only way to arrive here this is for the player to back track while grinding on the rails.
Eggman	This lava flow will prevent anyone from sneaking into my base!	At the very beginning of Lava Shelter if the Egg monitor is the active partner (thus replacing Shadow's intro line). Although normally unheard due to backtracking with the Egg Monitor an impossibility, this clip can be heard if glitches are used to restart at the beginning of the stage with the Egg Monitor as the already active partner.
Omega	Another artificial cavern beyond here detected. Proceed.

Cosmic Fall[]

Character	Transcript	Notes
Doom's Eye	The Ark is now crawling with Artificial Chaos. Do not give them any cause to attack you.
Vector	Man, these guys just won't quit!
Doom's Eye	Mmmm... You have failed me.	Meant to play when the time runs out.
Vector	No, I'm to young to die!	Although this clip is used, the voice line gets cut off after "No".
Doom's Eye	Grab hold of that bar!	There are no bars throughout the stage, not to mention there is not anything needed to grab onto at all.
Vector	Grab onto something, quickly!
Doom's Eye	You do realize what will happen if you were struck by those meteors?	There are no meteors in Cosmic Fall.
Vector	Ah, stupid space rocks! Shadow, make sure they don't hit you!	There are no meteors in Cosmic Fall.
Doom's Eye	A shock-wave will raise the passage into position.	A passage, probably the red door, would've had the player to throw a bomb (or some sort of explosion) at it to continue onward.
Vector	I think an explosive blast might knock this passage way into place.
Doom's Eye	Do not be afraid of getting trapped by the door.	Likely talking about the red door, where the player could slide under. It would seem to function similarity to a Black Slab.
Vector	If that shutter closes on us, it's gonna hurt!
Doom's Eye	Those meteors burn, just like your hatred, Shadow. Blast them to pieces!	Like mentioned before, meteors are never seen throughout Cosmic Fall.
Vector	Those asteroids look pretty darn hot. Try blasting them with a gun or something.
Doom's Eye	The green fluid is concentrated energy, you must not touch it.	The Green Fluid, from Space Gadget, would have seemed to be in this stage to probably use Air Saucers to get across.
Vector	The green fluid in this room is probably something you don't wanna touch.
Doom's Eye	This human weapon is useful for eliminating meteors.	Referencing the GUN Rifle Vehicle next to the last checkpoint, past the Goal Ring. Again, as mentioned before, there are no meteors in Cosmic Fall.
Vector	With this, we can blast these meteors to our hearts content.
Vector	Thanks, Shadow!	Supposed to play when the player finishes the objective. However, it never plays.

Final Haunt[]

Character	Transcript	Notes
Doom's Eye	Laughing	Unknown why this was recorded.
Sonic	Do you think we can use that turret down there?	Sonic does not react to the turrets, not to mention they are behind the Secret Doors.
Sonic	Watch out for the lasers on the wall!	Possibly meant for the horizontal lasers in the room where the second Black Doom hologram is.
Doom's Eye	Stay away from the traps we have set!
Sonic	No way, this thing's a fake! It's only a hologram!	Relating to the Black Doom holograms
Doom's Eye	This image of me is meant to bait and trap intruders. Take another route instead.	Relating to the Black Doom holograms
Sonic	There's some of that red alien slime stuff on the walls. You could make it to the other side, if there was something you could stand on there.	Possibly true in the room with the first hologram.
Doom's Eye	Raise up a pillar to use the red stream.	Possibly true in the room with the first hologram.
Sonic	We're gonna have to use our heads to figure out a way up here.	The bridges or the colored walls seems to fit this clip.
Doom's Eye	You cannot get here simply by jumping. You need to find another way.	The bridges or the colored walls seems to fit this clip.
Sonic	Maybe those alien vacuum guns can be used as more than just weapons.	This is true, but they never mention it.
Doom's Eye	Besides being a military weapon, our Vacuum Pods can be used in may different ways.	This is true, but they never mention it.

The Last Way[]

Character	Transcript	Notes
Eggman	Hurry up and find him!	The quotes are meant to play at the start of the stage. Only Eggman says the "Can you hear me" line, leaving the others to cheer Shadow on in the final game.
Sonic	Shadow, can you hear me? He must've gone deeper inside!
Tails	Shadow, can you hear me? Black Doom must be in the center of the Comet!
Knuckles	Can you hear me? He must've retreated into the deepest parts of the Comet!
Amy	Shadow, can you hear me? The alien leader has to be deeper inside there.
Rouge	Shadow, am I coming through? Black Doom is waiting for you in the chamber further up ahead.
Eggman	Shadow, can you still keep going? I'm afraid I'm done.	Wait quotes that never play.
Sonic	It's up to you, Shadow! Time to blast off at Sonic Speed.
Tails	Hurry, Shadow! If we don't hurry, we're gonna get swallowed up!
Knuckles	Don't worry about us just hurry up and defeat him!
Amy	Oh this is terrible! Shadow, do something!
Rouge	I'm... I'm ok. But the fate of the planet is in your hands.
Shadow	Prepare yourself, Black Doom!	Meant for when the player beats the stage. However, Shadow remains silent.
Eggman	Take over that turret and shoot down their craft! Try to lead them into the exploding mines.	Though there is a turret before the first checkpoint, even if this was used, the craft does not move anywhere.
Amy	Now be careful under the bridge!
Tails	The lasers are closing in! Jump!
Knuckles	Watch how it moves up and down and time your slide so you don't get crushed!	Meant for the black slabs. However, none of them used in previous levels have the player slide under them before.
Shadow	I have to use this brace to get further down.	There are no pulleys in both Final Haunt and Black Comet. Since all three stages are identical, the pulleys go unused here as well.
Sonic	After dashing along the wall, you need to use your dark spin! You can pull it off, Shadow!	Referencing the red slime on the wall, for the player to use when wall running. However, it goes unused.
Knuckles	You need to use Chaos Blast to break down that wall!	Even if this was used, the player can just Chaos Control past it if no invisible wall exists.
Rouge	That areas full of poison gas! Use the alien vacuum weapon to clear the air.	A section full of poisoned gas was planned for this stage, with Shadow having to use the Vacuum Pod or the Egg Vacuum to clear though it.

Bosses[]

Egg Breaker[]

Upon starting a boss battle, the side characters with Shadow cheer him on before explaining any quotes on how to defeat them. For the Egg Breaker in Iron Jungle, Omega's voice clip doesn't play for whatever reason yet the subtitles still appear anyways. The clip can still be found in the game's files. Oddly, the clip does work in the Beta 4 Build of the game.

Clip	Transcript
	Target acquired. Engaging combat mode.

Blue Falcon[]

Clip	Character	Transcript	Notes
	Black Doom	Do not pass beneath him or you will be exposed to aerial bombing.	The player is underneath the boss to begin with, so this voice clip is seemingly pointless.
	Blue Falcon	There you are!	There's nowhere for the player to hide, not even on the pole.

Sonic and Diablon[]

According to some of thes voice clips, Sonic was going to have a health bar in his boss fight alongside with Diablon. In the Beta 4 build of the game, some of the voice clips are used in that version of the game but get cut off.

Character	Transcript	Stage	Activation
Doom's Eye	Destroy both that weapon and that blue hedgehog!	GUN Fortress	Automatic Boss Hint #5 (Timer)
Sonic	No way...!		Diablon is defeated first
Commander	You won't get away with that, Shadow! It's time for you to meet GUN's ultimate weapon!		Sonic is defeated first
	No! Diablon is supposed to be impervious to attacks!		Diablon receives damage for the first time
	No! Diablon is supposed to have the perfect defense!	Final Haunt	Diablon receives damage for the first time (scrapped/early text)
Doom's Eye	Good! Now, destroy that weapon!	GUN Fortress	Sonic is defeated first
Doom's Eye	Good! Now, eliminate that hedgehog!	GUN Fortress	Diablon is defeated first

Egg Dealer[]

Character	Transcript	Notes
Eggman	W-What?! No, this can't be! Rgh, Guah, Agh!	This voice line is used, but the last grunt noise is never heard as the results screen comes immediately after. (There are 3 of the same clips)
Omega	You can throw Eggman's bombs back at him.	At one point in development, the player could have had Shadow throw the bombs back at Eggman. Interestingly enough, Knuckles does not seem to have this voice clip.
Vector	When he drops bombs, try picking them off and tossing them back!
Omega	Watch for shadows when the mech is dropping Egg Pawn units.	Explaining about Pawn Fever.
Vector	When Eggman drops those smaller robots, watch the shadows to make sure you don't get skewered!	Explaining about Pawn Fever.
Vector	By activating the slot reels, you can turn his attacks against him. What we need to do is stop the final slot reel ourselves by hitting the button!

Devil Doom[]

Almost all of the voice clips below are idle quotes.

Clip	Character	Transcript
	Black Doom	Rggahhhh!!!
	Eggman	Don't give up, Shadow!
	Sonic	Shadow, hang in there!
	Tails	Look out, Shadow!
	Knuckles	Shadow, squash him!
	Amy	C'mon, don't give up!
	Rouge	Shadow, it's up to you!

Characters[]

Shadow[]

Clip	Transcript	Notes
	I am the ultimate!
	Okay...
	Just one more...	Related to the Secret Keys.
	There should be two more.
	I still need three more.
	I need more than just one key.

Black Doom/Doom's Eye[]

Clip	Transcript	Notes
	What is that?
	Be aware of what you destroy.
	Destroy everything that gets in your way!
	Those foolish humans are no match for our superior weapons' technology.
	If that bomb is triggered, the blast will take out the surrounding area.
	You can pick up that bomb and use it to your advantage.
	The electric current running through those floating weapons can burn flesh. Stay clear of them.	They are seen in Digital Circuit and The Ark, but the voice clips never appear.
	Hmph! A high powered weapon. Shadow, destroy it from a distance and take its weapons.	Relating to the GUN Combat Mechs.
	Your Homing Attack will let you cross here easily. Our servants are here to serve our cause.
	The Artificial Chaos' core component is it's head. It spawns those creatures to defend itself.
	Shadow, be on your toes. That beast is precise and accurate with its piercing tentacles.
	Approach with caution. It will use it's tentacles to snare anything it proceeds as prey.
	Use the Artificial Chaos to cross to the other side	There is not platforming with the Artificial Chaos in The Ark.

Sonic[]

Clip	Transcript	Notes
	Uahh!
	Yahoo!	A different variation of the voice clip (act01_p12_sn). The one that is used in the final game is "all01_e06_sn".
	Jump!
	Ah-ha! Look what we've found!
	W-What?
	Wha!
	Look out, we're gonna crash!
	Whoa! You don't wanna slip here!
	Try breaking that.	No walls are available to break.
	Hey, smash that thing!
	Don't go crazy smashing stuff, ok?
	Make sure you don't fall here either.
	You can use those rings to use the Light Dash.	Sonic does explain about the Light Dash, but instead explains the button prompts of how to use it.
	Just use your Homing Attack and getting through here will be a snap.
	Use the R2 Button/R Button/R Trigger to keep yourself facing forward while you move. Use it to help you fight.	Sonic explaining about Strafing.
	Press the O/X/B Button, while running, to do a cool sliding move.
	Press the O/X/B Button when your near a container or bomb to pick it up, and then again to throw it.
	While grinding, press the O/X/B Button for a shot of turbo speed. To jump off, just press the X/A Button.	The only rail to grind, with Sonic on the player's side, is Lethal Highway. It wouldn't be safe for the player to jump off the rail, or any rail in fact.
	Hey, that vehicle looks pretty darn tough. Try using it to run down those Black Creatures.	Sonic talking about the HMMWV, which can be found behind the Secret Door of Westopolis. He never reacts to it, however.
	Use the O/X/B Button to take over the Black Creatures' craft.	Referencing the Air Saucers. The only time it would appear with Sonic in a level would be Space Gadget. However, he isn't with Shadow due to them racing.
	Hey, cool! This thing just hovers right along. It doesn't look too sturdy though, so watch out.
	Use the Left Analog Stick/Control Stick/Thumb Stick to move up and down. Hold down the X/A Button to speed up if you have to.	Sonic explaining the controls about the Black Hawk.
	Hmph! Those creatures sure are firebugs.
	Hey, look! They're keeping the creatures alive in cages.	Remains true in Lethal Highway, but does not use this quote.
	Wow, look at the size of that thing! GUN means serious business.
	An alien turret, huh? Not bad.	Remains true in Final Haunt, but does not use this quote around any of them.
	I think the soldiers are guarding that cage.	Westopolis and Lethal Highway are the only stages with a GUN Cage, for Sonic. But they're not guarded by any soldiers.
	That's a bomb, watch out for the blast!	None of Sonic's stages have a bomb in it.
	If you pick that up, you should be able to carry it with you and use it later.	None of Sonic's stages have a bomb in it.
	When your parachuting, remember you can still move your hands and body a bit.
	Use the O/X/B Button to get in and out of that turret, and press the Square/B/X Button to fire.
	If you hit that Black Slab with something, it should stop.
	Stepping into that will warp you to who knows where. Go for it.	Sonic explaining about the Warp Holes.
	Grab that to charge your Hero Gauge up to full.	None of Sonic's stages have a Blue Core.
	Hey, those are GUN Soldiers! Don't hurt them!
	Man, looks likes they're going all out. Let's clear out before we get caught in a crossfire, Shadow.
	That's a GUN Combat Robot, don't attack it!	Sonic has never ran into a GUN Combat Robot.
	Great! With those guys here, this place is covered. Leave things here to GUN and let's go.
	It looks like the GUN Robots have secured this area already. You and I need to keep going.
	Those are GUN Battle Robots, they're pretty tough.	Sonic has never met any GUN Robots.
	That worm is one of the Black Creatures! It's trying to attack from underground!	The only enemy of the Black Arms, Sonic has never met in the game, is the Black Worms.
	You won't be able to attack the shield-barring GUN Soldiers with firearms.
	Be careful not to touch those things when they're discharging electricity.
	Those alien bird creatures are lined up perfectly for you to use your Homing Attack to get across.	Only true near the first shield switch, and Black Doom hologram, in Final Haunt.
	Look out! That pack of Black Birds is dive bombing their way towards us!
	It looks like that huge worm's weak spot is it's head!
	It's like that worm can lock onto us and attack, be careful!
	Shadow, look out! There's some strange shade moving around underground!
	That guy can make himself disappear! Aim for where he's going to reappear.	Sonic talking about the Black Assassins.

Tails[]

Clip	Transcript	Notes
	Jump!
	This place looks dangerous! Be careful, ok?
	Wow! Who would've thought something like this would be here?	Tails quoting Shadow when finding a secret area.
	Whoa!
	Shadow, look!
	Brace yourself for impact!
	Watch out, don't fall.
	Hey, try going down here!
	Hey, can't you break that?
	Go on and smash it!
	Don't break that.	It's unusual for hero characters to not tell Shadow to break something.
	Hey, look down!
	You could fall here too, watch yourself!
	Look at that line of Rings. That's perfect for using your Light Dash, Shadow!	Air Fleet would be the only one to fit this quote.
	Chaos Blast will kill GUN Soldiers, as well as enemies, so make sure not to use it when they're around.
	Hitting the X/A Button, in mid-jump, will let you perform a Homing Attack.
	Shadow, I think you can use your Homing Attack to get past here.
	Use the Right Analog Stick/C-Stick/Thumb Stick to move and zoom the camera.
	It's kind of high, but if you jump as high as you can and grab onto the edge, you can make it up there.
	Did you know that you can change mission characters just by pressing the Direction Buttons/Control Pad/Directional Pad?
	Holding the R2 Button/R Button/R Trigger, while you move, will keep you facing forward.	Tails talking about strafing.
	Press the O/X/B Button, while running, to do your sliding move.	Both stages have this feature, but Tails never mentions it.
	That Vacuum weapon creates a high density artificial black hole to suck things in.	None of the Black Arms in Air Fleet contain a Vacuum Pod on hand.
	You've gotta try this thing out! Hold the Square/B/X Button and let her rip!
	You can pick up and throw things, like Containers and Bombs, by pressing the O/X/B Button.
	To lift up things that are on the ground, just press the O/X/B Button.	While there is liftable objects in Air Fleet, via the grading, Tails never mentions it.
	While grinding, press the O/X/B Button to gain speed. To jump off, just press the X/A Button.	Both stages use this, but Tails never quotes it. It also wouldn't be safe to jump off while grinding on any rail besides just these two.
	You can use one of those Saucers to get to places you couldn't before. Press the O/X/B Button to get on.	Air Fleet is the only stage to have this feature, due to the electrified rails.
	I know it's dangerous, but put those fires out!
	It looks like GUN is doing research on the aliens.	As if GUN is doing the research inside a Battleship.
	This is a Black Creature's Turret. I wonder how they managed to build it? I wish I had time to study it.	It seemed that Air Fleet was going to have a Cell Cannon at one point.
	Pressing the O/X/B Button, while on top a Save Point, will teleport you to other Save Points you've touched.
	That's a Dash Ring. It's a special device that'll speed you up if you pass through it.
	This cage looks like it's locked. I wonder if there is some kind of switch nearby that'll open it?
	I think you can open this cage by defeating those Black Creatures.	The Black Arms have only locked doors, in Air Fleet, instead of cages.
	It looks like you can move along with that reel, if you grab on.	This remains true, yet never mentioned, in Air Fleet.
	That's a bomb! It'll explode, so be careful.
	You can pick up that bomb and carry it along with you.
	You can still use your hands, and move around a little, when your parachuting.	There really isn't anything to shoot at with the Rocket in Circus Park.
	Press the O/X/B Button a top the Red Liquid. And you can move along it to get someplace else.	This is true in Air Fleet. But, yet again, Tails never mentions it.
	I saw some the aliens absorb that Red Slime in order to move. We should try it ourselves.
	Shadow, I think that Chaos Blast may be strong enough to break it. Give it a try!
	This is a Warp Hole. Stepping into it will teleport you someplace far away.
	Picking that up will fill up your Hero Gauge.	The Blue Cores remain absent in both Circus Park and Air Fleet.
	Picking that up will fill up your Dark Gauge.	The Red Cores remain absent in both Circus Park and Air Fleet.
	Extinguishing the fire will raise your Hero Gauge a little. Try an attack to put it out.
	Touching that Gas will increase the evil within you, and will fill up your Dark Gauge a little.
	That cage is there for restraining the Black Creatures. Don't destroy it and let them out.
	The Red Fruits with spikes on them are poisons. Don't touch them.
	More GUN Mechs, huh? These guys must be serious.
	How many of these mechs does Eggman have?
	How come GUN is after you now, Shadow? What did you do?
	Those small blobby things are some type of Black Creature. Make sure you don't overlook them.	Related to the Death Leeches.
	Be careful not to get shocked by the GUN Beetles when they've activated they're electrical mechanism.
	That Eggman's Robot is equipped with a shield that can deflect bullets. Take out the shield first.	None of the Egg Pawns have shields in Circus Park.
	Guns are useless against those shields. Use Homing Attacks instead.	None of the Black Arms have shields in Air Fleet.
	Look at those Bird-like creatures. If you use your Homing Attack, you can bounce off of them to get by.
	The Whirlwinds, that those Birds create, are too wide to dodge. Try to jump over them.

Knuckles[]

Clip	Transcript	Notes
	Jump!
	It gets dangerous past here, be on your guard.
	A secret room?	There are no secret rooms in any of Knuckles' stages.
	Ah, you found that before I did.
	What the?
	Hey, Shadow, look at that!
	Uwaaa!!!
	Slow down, your gonna crash!
	Be sure not to fall, ok?
	Crush that thing.
	Hey, don't break that!	None of the Hero Characters tell Shadow not to break a certain object.
	Hey, take a good look below you.
	Not again! Make sure you don't fall, alright?
	You should be able to use the Light Dash near those Rings.
	Press the Triangle/Y Button to use a special move when one of the two gauges is completely full.
	Calling on the power of justice lets you teleport using Chaos Control! The power of evil is the sheer destructive force of Chaos Blast.
	Make sure the GUN troops don't get caught in the explosion when you use Chaos Blast.
	You can do a Homing Attack on nearby enemies by pressing the X/A Button while jumping.
	Maybe you can use your Homing Attack here.
	Use the R2 Button/R Button/R Trigger to keep facing forward while you move, it's useful when your fighting enemies.
	Press the O/X/B Button, while running, to master your sliding move.
	Those aliens have got some weird weapon that sucks up Rings and other small things.	The Vacuum Pods are in Central City, but Knuckles never explains how to use them.
	It looks like you can use it by holding down the Square/B/X Button.
	For really big things, press the O/X/B Button to grab hold of the bottom and then hoist it up.	Would've been used in either Glyphic Canyon or Central City as both levels feature cut objects that the player would've been able to flip over.
	Press the O/X/B Button, while grinding, to get some extra speed.	There are grindable areas in Black Comet, but Knuckles only mentions to the player that they are able to be grinded on.
	Try pressing the O/X/B Button to hop onto one of those alien saucers.	Most likely would've been used for Black Comet as that level mainly focuses on the Air Saucer throughout most of it.
	Check it out, it's floating! Make sure you don't break it though.
	Hey, it looks like that creature has some attack power too. Now let's it kick some butt!	The Black Volt can be rode on in the Secret Door Section of Glyphic Canyon, but Knuckles never mentions about that.
	Hold down the // button and then aim your attack.
	I think this is a GUN Vehicle. It doesn't look too fast, but it can probably jump pretty high.	The jumping vehicles do not appear in Glyphic Canyon, but they do show up in Sky Troops.
	Wanna go for a ride, Shadow?
	Looks things are heating up around here. How about cooling things down a bit, Shadow?
	Heh, looks like some of those aliens have been captured. Serves them right.
	An alien weapon... Let's smash this thing up too.	Possibly relating to the Cell Cannons, which do appear in Black Comet.
	That ring-like thing will give you a quick boost, give it a shot.	Relating to the Dash Rings.
	Maybe there's a switch or something that will open this thing up.
	That's a box for keeping Special Weapons. If you found this one, that means there are more.
	That looks like a Bomb, don't get caught in it's blast.	There is a bomb in Glyphic Canyon, but there's no real use out of it for Knuckles to say this quote. Even so, his cut voice clip mentions t to discard it.
	It looks like you can probably throw that bomb!
	What kind of vehicle is this? Do you think you can use it?	Relating to the HMMWV.
	You can use that alien red slime to get places. Just stand on top of it and press the O/X/B Button.	The Red Slime is used once in the Black Comet, but it's never able to be stood on.
	Getting that orb will max out your Dark Gauge.	The Red Cores remain absent for Glyphic Canyon, Central City, and the Black Comet.
	That gas was put here by the aliens. Touching it will increase your Dark Gauge.
	That's a GUN Cage for holding Black Creatures, stay away and don't break it.
	The Red Fruits are poisonous, don't touch them.	Knuckles does mention the red fruits in Central City, but uses a different quote instead.
	Looks like GUN is helping to fight off the aliens too, don't get in they're way.
	It looks like the soldiers have got things in hand here, let's go!
	The Black Creatures... Let's show 'em what we've got!
	Humph, now what are they trying to do? Let's not give them the chance whatever it is!
	These guys don't know what's good for 'em, I hope they at least make this fight interesting!
	Looks like the troops have got things in hand here!
	What, so now GUN is after you too? Oh well, good luck.
	Those are GUN Battle Robots equipped with guns so be on guard!
	Watch out! That alien seems to be different from the others!	Possibly talking about the Artificial Chaos.
	That GUN Battle Robot has Gatling Cannons and Rockets, that'll help clean up those creeps in no time.
	Use a series of Homing Attacks, to get to the other side, by using those bird creatures.
	Don't even try to outrun those Whirlwinds, just jump over them!
	Go for the head, that's its weak point!	Relating to the worm enemies.

Eggman[]

Clip	Transcript	Notes
	There's trouble ahead, use extra caution!
	Shadow, look at that!
	What are you doing?! You're going to crash!	Likely pertaining to Vehicle controls.
	You can break that, no problem.
	Smash that thing to bits!
	Falling here looks like it'd be a one way trip.	Likely pertaining to the corresponding Hint Bubble.
	The remaining targets that I've set for you are shown in the upper-right hand window.	This is only true for Sky Troops. All other stages, such as Circus Park and Lava Shelter, show the missions on the top left.
	Doing good things will fill up the Blue Gauge and doing evil things will fill the red one. Once the gauges are full, then you'll be unstoppable, Shadow.	This tutorial Hint Bubble is never encountered with the Egg Monitor. Even so, this clip may have been removed due to Eggman's definitions of "good and evil" deeds possibly confusing the player, as some stages can classify Egg Pawns as either Good or Bad units and will fill up the corresponding appropriate gauge.
	The Triangle/Y Button unleashes your true inner strength if pressed when one of your gauges is full, Shadow.	Both the GameCube and Xbox controllers have the Y button mapped for Shadow's Chaos Power use.


	Your heroic power is the teleport ability of Chaos Control. Your dark power is the explosive destructive force of Chaos Blast.	The hint bubble pertaining to the two Shadow powers. This hint bubble is not encountered with the Egg Monitor.
	Your Chaos Blast has a large blast area. Don't use it when any of my robots are around.	Egg Monitor never comments on Shadow's Chaos Blast anywhere, neither are there Red Cores encountered by Egg monitor to comment on.
	Press the X/A Button while jumping to do your Homing Attack.	Both the GameCube and Xbox use the A button so one of those system clips is identically used for the other system.


	Don't forget that you can control the camera by moving the Right Analog Stick/C-Stick/Right Thumb Stick.	Camera control tutorial.


	Use the Square/B/X Button to attack. The O/X/B Button will let you do other actions.	This hint is only used in Westopolis. Even unused, Eggman is the only one that mentions it aside the others.
	You can use the Pause Menu to swap your current mission character. But did you also know that you can use the Directional Buttons/Control Pad/Directional Pad?
	You can swap your weapon with another one that's on the ground by pressing the O/X/B Button.	Egg Monitor never encounters this tutorial Hint Bubble with Shadow.


	If you hold down the R2 Button/R Button/R Trigger you can keep facing forward while you move about.


	Press the O/X/B Button while running so you can slide underneath narrow gaps.	None of the stages Eggman is in has any gaps to slide under.


	Use the Left Analog Stick/Control Stick/Left Thumb Stick to pick which direction to jump when you want to switch rails.	The only Grind Rails to display this ability with Eggman in the stage is Lava Shelter. However, it is at the beginning of the stage, past the Egg Monitor's encounter. Backtracking there is normally impossible without cheats or glitches.


	That fire's no concern to you. Just forget about it.	No disposable fire is available in any of the stages the Egg Monitor is in. As a result, the associated Hint bubble goes unused.
	GUN must've constructed some kind of military robots to capture these Black Creatures.
	This is supposed to be impressive? The turrets from my battleship are one hundred times this size.
	That ring is an acceleration device. Give it a try!	Eggman explaining about the Dash Rings.
	There's a switch that will open this cage.	There are no cages that require a switch in any of the stages Eggman is in.
	If you wanna open this cage, then defeat those Black Creatures.	The only cage for this would be to one of the Secret Keys. Eggman never reacts to it, however.
	That's a bomb. If your careful with it, you can use it to attack the enemies.
	You can use that bomb as something to throw later.
	My research shows that the moving Black Slab can be momentarily stopped with some gun fire.	There is a Black Slab at the end of Iron Jungle, but it has no affect when being shot.
	My research indicates that your Chaos Blast should be able to destroy this matter.
	My analysis shows that this field of light is a space time distortion device, used for instant warping.	Eggman explaining about the Warp Holes.
	That light will fill up your Hero Gauge, Shadow.	The Cores are absent in the stages Eggman is in.
	That light will fill up your Dark Gauge, Shadow.	The Cores are absent in the stages Eggman is in.
	Those alien cages have the GUN insignia on them. Don't let the Black Creatures out.	GUN and the Black Arms cannot be together when Eggman is in the stage.
	Those bizarre Red Fruits are some kind of alien vegetation. They're also very toxic.	Red Fruits appear in Cryptic Castle, but this line goes unused.
	GUN's tried to copy my designs, sadly I might add. Get rid of those worthless things.	Unknown if Eggman is referring to just a single specific design or multiple (if not all) GUN robots in general.
	They don't know when to give up, do they? Shadow, show them we mean business.
	Aha! The Black Creatures. Shadow, crush them!
	Look up ahead, there's more of them! Be careful.
	Ahhh! See my lovely army put to it's test. Shadow, let's go and lend them a hand.	Eggman never insists of lending the Egg Pawns a hand.
	Ohoho! So GUN has taking a liking to you now, have they?
	Those look like GUN Battle Robots. Pretty strong ones too, from what I've seen.	Eggman never interacts to them as they are located in Circus Park.
	What's this? Some kind of alien worm! And it escapes by burrowing it's way underground!	Neither Cryptic Castle nor Sky Troops have a Black Worm in the stages.
	According to my data, the Giant has been dread for close combat. Hoho, and they're ridiculously strong.	The Black Oaks can be found in Sky Troops, but Eggman never talks about them.
	My Egg Pawn's shield makes it invincible. Guns are useless.	Mad Matrix is the only stage to have Egg Pawns with shields.
	Those Black Birds can create a Whirlwind-like Shock wave. Try jumping over them.	Eggman does meet the Black Hawks, but never talks about they're attacks.
	Shadow, go for the head. That's its only vulnerable point of attack.	Most likely talking about the Black Worms.
	The smaller worms that are winding through the air can follow you. Get out of their way.	Comment about the Black Worm's projectiles. Egg Monitor does not encounter any Black Worms.
	I'm detecting some kind of lifeform underneath where that shadow is.	Referring to underground Black Worms, which Egg Monitor never encounters in-game.

Rouge[]

Clip	Transcript	Notes
	What is this place?
	Ahh!	There are two versions of this clip. The one unused here is "all01_e04_rg" where she sounds more serious than compared to the one that is used, "all01_e07_rg".
	What do you think you're doing? You're going to crash!
	Go ahead and break that thing!
	Try not to break that, all right?
	Look down!
	Hey, see those Rings? You know what to do.
	You can make use of your hidden power by pressing the Triangle/Y Button when the gauges are full.	Rouge does explain about the gauges in Digital Circuit, but she never explains what to do when they are full.
	Awaking your sense of justice will let you to teleport with Chaos Control! Unleashing the power of evil lets you destroy things around you with Chaos Blast.
	Chaos Blast is really powerful. So don't let any GUN soldiers get injured by friendly fire.
	You can use your high speed Light Dash move by pressing the O/X/B Button when your near some Rings.
	You can take out nearby enemies by pressing the X/A Button in mid-jump to perform a Homing Attack.
	Time to time, make sure to stop and use the Right Analog Stick/C-Stick/Right Thumb Stick to look around.
	Just to remind you, the Square/B/X Button is used for attacking and the O/X/B Button does other special actions.
	Don't worry, you can make it if you jump as high as you can and grab onto the edge.
	You know that you can change your mission character by going to the pause menu, right? You can also change them just by using the Directional Buttons/Control Pad/Directional Pad.
	You know you can swap weapons right? Just press the O/X/B Button.
	Press the O/X/B Button while running to perform your sliding move.
	You know how to use those cannons, right? Just hop on in, line up the sights, and take out anything that comes your way.
	The alien weapon looks like it can suck in Rings and small creatures.	The Vacuum Pods are not present in any of the three stages.
	How about borrowing it for a bit? It looks like you can operate it by using the Square/B/X Button.	The Vacuum Pods are not present in any of the three stages.
	You can pick up and throw things, like containers and bombs, by pressing the O/X/B Button.
	Looks like you can take control of this GUN vehicle. Press the O/X/B Button to get in and out. To drive, use the Left Analog Stick/Control Stick/Left Thumb Stick to steer and use the X/A Button to speed up.
	A GUN armored military vehicle. You should be able to break your way through no problem.	Rouge never talks about the HMMWV.
	You can use this to return to previous locations.
	This place is a raging inferno, too. I think we should help out.
	GUN appears to be conducting research on the alien creatures.
	Pressing the O/X/B, while on top a save point, will teleport you to other save points you've touched.
	That's a Dash Ring. Pass through it to gain a quick burst of speed.	Dash Rings have no use in any of the stages.
	This cage is locked. Look for some kind of switch, it's gotta be near by.
	Grab onto the handle and use the reel to keep moving.
	This is a weapon container. If you break it, you'll be able to get the weapon out.
	That's a bomb. Try not to get caught up in the blast.	Bombs do not appear in any of the stages.
	You can pick up that bomb and use it to attack the enemies.	Bombs do not appear in any of the stages.
	This is a rocket. If you grab hold, it'll fly you off some place.	Rockets, along with the parachutes, do not appear in any of the stages Rouge is in.
	This is a parachute. You can fire your weapons as you slowly descend towards the ground.
	You can use your Dark Spin along the terrorist's transport system by pressing the O/X/B Button.
	Have you used a turret before? Use the O/X/B Button to get in and out, and use the Square/B/X Button to fire.	Rouge never reacts to the turrets in GUN Fortress, other than explaining that it would not be as useful with an army of them.
	That's an alien trap. If you shoot it, it should stop it.	Related to the black slabs.
	That's the terrorist's weapon stock pile. Use your Chaos Blast to clear it out.
	Picking that up will charge your Hero Gauge to full.	The Blue Cores remain absent in all three of the stages Rouge is in.
	Picking that up will charge your Dark Gauge to full.	The Red Cores remain absent in all three of the stages Rouge is in.
	Putting out the fire will give your Hero Gauge a boost. Attack it near by, or use a wind source.	No fire is located in any of the stages Rouge is in.
	This is a special type of gas used by the terrorists. Inhaling it will increase your Dark Gauge.	The gas is not located in any of the stages.
	That's a GUN developed cage for capturing the terrorists. Whatever you do, don't destroy it.
	The red fruits with thorns secrete a toxin. Make sure you don't touch them.
	Just leave things here to them.
	Looks like a full scale offensive attack.
	There are GUN soldiers here too. No funny business now, Shadow. You won't like it when I get angry.
	Watch out. There's another black alien combat squad over there.
	If GUN is holding the line here, then we should help them out.
	Looks like you're on GUN's most wanted list. I don't know what you did, but be careful.
	GUN's combat robots have been equipped with anti-terrorist ballistic weapons.
	Those red and black things are alien larva. Make sure you take them out.	The Death Leeches do appear in Death Ruins, but Rouge never reacts to them.
	Those shields are even strong enough to deflect bullets.	Only one GUN soldier has a shield, being in Death Ruins. Rouge never reacts to it.
	GUN won't be happy about it, but you can use their sentry drones as footholds to get passed.
	Those GUN Sentry Beetles have a high voltage defense mechanism.	This is true in Digital Circuit, but she never mentions it.
	That's the GUN combat mech, Big Foot. It'll use its Gatling cannons and rockets to help us out.	Big Foot vehicles are never seen utilizing both Gatling cannons and rockets at the same time during gameplay. Both weapon types are separate vehicles. Although Rouge does comment on the Big Foot Type B, a different voice clip is used instead.
	Those Black Aliens' shields deflect firearms. Use a Homing Attack to take them out.	None of the Black Arms have shields in any of the stages.
	If your use your Homing Attack on that group of black birds, I think you can make it to the other side.	These aliens are not present in any of the stages.
	Those alien bird creatures can stir up whirlwinds, but you can avoid them easily by jumping.	The Black Hawks are not seen in any of the stages.
	That worm's skin seems impervious to all attacks. It's only vulnerable on it's head.	Rouge does talk about the Black Worms, but this quote goes unused.

Amy[]

Clip	Transcript	Notes
	Jump!
	Oh, it looks like it's going to get pretty dangerous here. Watch out!
	Shadow, over there!
	Yay!
	We're falling!	There are no falling sections.
	Watch out, you're gonna hit something!
	Try going up from here.	Eggman uses this line in Cryptic Castle. It is unknown why Amy never does.
	Hey, maybe you can squash that!.
	You shouldn't break things like that.	Amy never tells the player to not break things in the final version of the game.
	I wonder what's down there?
	Here we go again. Try not to fall, okay?	There seemed to be more than one falling section in the early version of the game, judging by the voice clip.
	I think you can dash along those Rings with one of your special moves.	A different quote is used instead of this in the final version of the game.
	Press the X/A Button while jumping to do a Homing Attack that'll let you squash the enemies.
	Hey, do you think that using your Homing Attack will let you get by here?
	If you need to look around, just use the Right Analog Stick/C-Stick/Right Thumb Stick.
	If you jump as high as you can, and just grab hold of the edge, you can probably make it up there.	There are no ledge grabs that the player has to jump high enough to get to.
	To get underneath narrow spaces, press the O/X/B Button while running to slide.	There is a narrow space to slide under, for a secret, at the sixth Checkpoint.
	Try using the O/X/B Button to lift up things that are on the floor.	The only time the player can do this is before the first Checkpoint and before the Goal Ring. Amy does react to the first one, but uses a different quote instead in the final version of the game.
	You can press O/X/B Button while grinding to gain some speed. Jump off by pressing the X/A Button.	There are rails in the stage, but Amy never talks about this. Even so, jumping off would not be recommended as the Giant Walker chases Shadow downwards towards the Goal Ring.
	Shadow, get on!	Aside the Black Hawks, no vehicles are present in Cryptic Castle.
	Shadow, you've got to help put out that fire.	This clip is not needed for Cryptic Castle as the player lights up stone lanterns around the level to progress the stage.
	Is it really right for us to be keeping the aliens in cages like this?	The Black Arms are not in cages for Cryptic Castle.
	After you touch a save point, you can start over from there if you mess up. So don't worry.
	If you go through the middle of that ring, it'll boost you on up ahead.	Dash Rings are not found throughout Cryptic Castle.
	This cage is pretty sturdy. I wonder if there is some kind of switch that will open it up?	There are no cages related to be used by switches.
	I think those GUN soldiers are keeping this cage shut tight.	There are no GUN soldiers in Cryptic Castle.
	Hey, do you think that the Black Creatures are guarding this cage?	The only cage for this would be to one of the Secret Keys. Amy never reacts to it, however.
	Hey, why don't you grab onto that? I think you can use it to keep going.	There are no pulleys in this stage.
	I-Is that a bomb? Watch out, it's gonna explode!	There are bombs in this stage, but Amy does not react to them like this in the final game.
	Hey, do you think you can throw that bomb?
	The big weight that's going up and down might stop for a little bit if you shoot it.
	I've got a bad feeling about that pile of stuff, Shadow. Use your Chaos Blast to destroy it.
	Oh, that key is so pretty. I wonder if it opens the gates to some fantastic castle?	Neither Eggman nor Shadow react to the keys for Cryptic Castle, so this goes unused for Amy.
	That's a Warp Hole. Going in it will warp you somewhere.	There are no Warp Holes in Cryptic Castle.
	Those spheres will instantly charge your Hero Gauge to full.	The Blue Cores remain absent in Cryptic Castle.
	Those spheres will instantly charge your Dark Gauge to full.	The Red Cores remain absent in Cryptic Castle.
	Touching this gas will make you evil and it'll raise your Dark Gauge. Stay away from it.	There is dark gas near the fifth Checkpoint. However, Amy never reacts to it.
	That cage was built by GUN to hold in the black monsters. Makes sure you don't break it.	GUN is not present in Cryptic Castle.
	Those red thingies that look like fruits are poisonous. Stay away.	The red fruit are present in Cryptic Castle, but Amy never reacts to them.
	Look, it's the aliens! Shadow, you have to stop them!
	These guys just don't know when to quit! Shadow, help!
	No surprise that Eggman's fortress is well protected with his robots. Don't waste your time fighting them.
	Eggman seems to be pretty set on driving the aliens out too.
	The Eggman robot with the shield can't be taken down by bullets. Just leave it and run!	The Egg Pawns do not have shields in Cryptic Castle.
	Those aliens' shields can deflect almost every weapon. Shadow, try to beat them with Homing Attacks.	The Black Arms do not have shields in Cryptic Castle.
	Those bird monsters are sending out boomerang-like bursts of wind! Jump out of the way!
