Unused graphics

Placeholders

Found in the "COMMON1" file are several images that were used during testing and the game's development.

Image	Filename	Description
	ob_common_ring	Sprites of Rings and Spikes. The final game uses 3D objects instead.
	ob_common_spikes
	ob_common_powerup_mark	An early sprite of the Item Box.
	ob_common_spring	An image of a Spring, which is never seen in the game.
	ob_common_dash_panel	Though an early design of a Dash Panel, this one had a blue triangle. The final one uses a yellow one instead.
	ob_common_dash_ring	An image of a Dash Ring, which are never seen throughout the game.
	ob_common_conveyor_fast ob_common_conveyor_slow	Early images of the Conveyor Belts.
	Bee Beewithattack	Two sprites of a bee enemy, possibly meant for the Buzz Bombers. It would seem that they would also attack the player, rather than simply standing in place.
	Crabmeat	A drawing of a Crabmeat, which is never seen in the final game.
	Springtarget	Judging by the image and filename, it's possible that the player could have used the Homing Attack after bouncing off a Spring.
	ob_common_dash_panel_triple	According to it's filename, this appears to be a placeholder for the Triple Dash Panels. An "S" is seen drawn on the top.
	Start	A sprite for starting a race.
	Finish	A sprite of the finish line.
	Tutorial	A placeholder of the tutorial.
	Fire_glow_sprite	Judging by the filename, this appears to be a a glowing effect for the Fireball power-up.
	Icon_camera_halfpipe_temp Icon_cameraLoop_entry_L Icon_cameraLoop_entry_R Icon_cameraLoop_exit_L Icon_cameraLoop_exit_R Icon_cameraCorkscrew_entry Icon_cameraCorkscrew_exit	Several camera test graphics for Loops and Corkscrews.
	imput_force imput_limit	Unknown. It could've been used testing for a controller port.
	N/A	Two Drone badniks with letters "F" and "G" in front of them.

General

Image	Description
	Early versions of several assets of the game. Most notably, there's early versions of the race icons, using stock artwork rather than being based off of the Sonic Forces ones. Interestingly, Chaos and Omega's icons use uncredited fan-art made by Nibroc Sarkaria.
	An unused chest type, looking to what possibly could be an earlier version of the Free Chests the player can get. The filename for this sprite is "Friends_chest" indicating that you could get chests from friends who also have the game installed. It's lock icon could highly associate to this as it appears it be a speech bubble with small people icons inside of it.
	An unused texture of Paladin Amy's hammer for her Victory Purple Chroma.
	An unused texture of Paladin Amy's hammer for her Ruby Red Chroma.
	Unused texture mapping of the Ddraig Goch for Dragon Hunter Lancelot's Slayer Green Chroma.
	Unused texture mapping of the Ddraig Goch for Dragon Hunter Lancelot's Royal Black Chroma.
	Unused texture mapping of Sir Galahad's sword for his Heroic Blue Chroma.
	Unused texture mapping of Sir Galahad's sword for his Justice Teal Chroma.

Power-up icons

Image	Description
	An icon of a tornado. This is possibly an earlier design for the Whirlwind power-up.
	An early version of the Balkiry power-up.
	An unused bomb power-up. It's unknown which character would've used this.

Tracks

Two unused tracks of Planet Wisp can be found in the games files. In the final game, only Mining Mayhem (and it's reverse variant) is used. This suggests that there would've been three tracks of Planet Wisp rather than just one.

Image	Description
	This track has the Mother Wisp included in it. By it's image, the players would have had to go around her as they progress through the track.
	This image is purple for whatever reason. All that can be seen is a straight path with several trees surrounding it.

Unused characters

Honey Charmy's model

In the game's files, the name for a variant of Tails called "Cupid Tails" can be found as a leftover asset. Judging by it's name, it was most likely meant for a Valentine's Day event. It is unknown if it will be featured in the future. A model for a variant of Charmy seemingly named "Honey Charmy" can be found as well, which was added alongside Spring Cream.

Unused model

A model of E-102 Gamma performing the Spin Jump can be found in the game's files. This was scrapped in favor of him hovering instead.
