This part of the Zone is not featured in the final game.](/wiki/File:Early-Great-Turquoise-Zone.png "Early-Great-Turquoise-Zone.png (1.8 MB)") From a German article about "Sonic Chaos II"[1] that shows a large piece of Great Turquoise Zone's original level structure.

In the final game, the board functions as a snowboard instead of a surfboard, and only appears in Robotnik Winter Zone.  Sonic in Great Turquoise Zone with a different running sprite. It should be noted that the early Great Turquoise Zone had checkered-esque tiles which were altered in the final game.  In Great Turquoise Zone, Sonic can be seen with a flaming dash effect, possibly an early idea for the Strike Dash.
