Sonic Mania Sprites Tails

Tails Chemical Plant Cutscene Sprites. Tails has a completely unused Sprite Sheet for the Cutscene at the beginning of Chemical Plant Zone, might be worth uploading a GIF of the sprite assembled into the animation. The window name is also changed to 'Sonic Mania (Data Folder). Is this worth adding to the main page? Sonic mania mini tails sprites credit to munchjrgamesvery work in progress on scratch by alexanderb2109new. These sprites are clearly from sonic 1 they most likely are leftovers from sonic 1 on ios and android as the layout of the sheet is identical to manias.

Unused area in Titanic Monarch act. 2

I'm sure the area is unused. In the time attack the end of the act is another. Please, undo the removal of my edition.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkUhbQUwey0 --Porcino (talk) 17:56, 30 August 2017 (EDT)

I'm not sure what you're talking about, because that is exactly the area the final warp takes you to in Time Attack.犬夜叉^(Inuyasha) 18:25, 30 August 2017 (EDT)

You're right, I had to go through this damn zone again.

Only the checkpoint and a capsule are not in Time Attack. --Porcino (talk) 18:38, 30 August 2017 (EDT)

I think that it's just that Time Attack is programmed to remove checkpoints, and replace capsules with the goal-thingy. (Or something like that.) But in that case, the existence of the checkpoint would be interesting. --Yellow180 (talk) 07:04, 7 September 2017 (EDT)

Press Garden Early Name

Going into the game's files shows that the .ogg files for Press Garden's music are named PulpSolstice1.ogg and PulpSolstice2.ogg, which shows that Pulp Solstice may have been the stage's original name (i had to google what solstice meant, and it seems to check out). Is this worth mentioning on the page? This is the first time I've contributed at all so I'm not entirely sure. (edit: the SFX folder containing Press Garden's Sound Effects is named PSZ, thus being further evidence) --Panfex (talk) 10:48, 31 August 2017 (EDT)

Full Mean Bean Machine Sprites

There are full sprites of the characters and Eggman for the Chemical Plant Zone 2 boss. Where would these be added? --Surgesufers (talk) 12:08, 31 August 2017 (EDT)

Objects-Classic files

In all (except for Hydrocity, oddly) Classic/Remixed stages, there are 'Objects-Classic' files for assets of the zones in their original games. Would this warrant its own section?

Tails Chemical Plant Cutscene Sprites

Tails has a completely unused Sprite Sheet for the Cutscene at the beginning of Chemical Plant Zone, might be worth uploading a GIF of the sprite assembled into the animation. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/352018723055599616/352846586956611595/TailsCutsceneCPZ_Animated.gif--- Knuxfan24 (talk) 19:23, 31 August 2017 (EDT)

Sega Saturn controllers

In #retro, Cooljerk said the white Sega Saturn controller is used if you plug in a standard HID controller (i.e. not a proprietary XInput device) on the Windows version. The black one might be used for the second player. ---GerbilSoft (talk) 21:24, 31 August 2017 (EDT)

Thank you : ) I hadn't thought of that possibility.--Porcino (talk) 21:28, 31 August 2017 (EDT)

Unused/Scrapped animation.

The leaked animation from Tyson Hesse twitter is not seen anywhere in the game, though, it is kinda similar to the opening animation scene when Sonic is fighting one of the Hard Boiled Heavies in Studiopolis. This should be added in Sonic Mania page?

That would go on the Prerelease page, not so much the main page. --From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 01:52, 2 September 2017 (EDT)

Data Folder Mode

If you extract the contents of Data.rsdk and remove it from the root folder and only leave the extracted Data folder remaining the game will attempt to load files from that folder instead of from Data.rsdk. Some graphics wont display correctly and the unused Dev Menu is enabled by default. The window name is also changed to 'Sonic Mania (Data Folder). Is this worth adding to the main page? --GANONdork123 (talk) 01:48, 4 September 2017 (EDT)

Many games can use uncompressed files in the main folder and work normally, I think it's very generic information. --Porcino (talk) 12:31, 4 September 2017 (EDT)

I already added it to the Retro Engine dev menu section, but I hadn't described what you said to do correctly. I dunno if this happened with you, but from my experience, this makes 2D stages unplayable, since S/T/K can't move left or right, and jumping puts them in a single jump frame, but they don't leave the ground. I'll add the rest of what you said to that part. --Pyrolex (talk) 14:49, 21 September 2017 (EDT)

That's probably because you used Retrun-Sonic instead of rsdkv5_extract, as the former doesn't extract the files in the Objects/Static folder, due to rsdkv5_extract having a separate list with names of the static object files which Retrun-Sonic doesn't use. MainMemory (talk) yesterday idk

What? I did use RSDK5_Extract. I didn't even know Retrun existed until after I tested RSDK5_ext. Maybe I used an older version? That's probably it. --Pyrolex (talk) 13:35, 22 September 2017 (EDT)

Huh, strange. Either way, the missing graphics and broken physics are entirely the result of the static object files missing from the extracted folder, which I don't believe is within TCRF's scope to document. Also oops, forgot to sign my earlier comment. MainMemory (talk) 14:10, 22 September 2017 (EDT)

About the CPZ2 bounce goo

I'm not entirely sure the naming of the goo as 'ChemRed' and 'ChemYellow' is incorrect. 'ChemRed' corresponds to the green goo, that bounces you very high, while 'ChemYellow' corresponds to the cyan goo that bounces you only a little bit. This corresponds to the red springs and yellow springs, which in Classic Sonic have always traditionally sprung you high or low respectively. The filenames for the goo sounds may have been named oddly to associate with the equivalent spring's colors, rather than than to the actual color of the goo. Or, perhaps more simply, the goo was originally colored red or yellow like the springs. Either way I think it's worth mentioning. Nerdbot (talk) 21:30, 4 September 2017 (EDT)

re: SSZ1 teleporter sprite

While playing through the game as Tails I incidentally discovered that he's capable of flying over the miniboss area and into the cutscene area. Seeing as this means the teleporter can be destroyed in normal, non-Debug mode gameplay, should the section about it stay, or should a reference be added to note how Tails can access it?

Hedgehog Day Dance Party's scrapped 'grinding' animation

At 0:27 in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGCvoOcqg40), there's some sort of removed 'grind' animation Sonic's doing. It's not there in any releases of the final game. Could this mean this was scrapped? --See you on Scratch or something! -PacManfan64 (talk) 21:15, 30 December 2017 (EST)

Unused sprites?

http://i.imgur.com/xSIxYvw.gifI can't seem to trigger any of the sprites past the first column when the crew is ice cubed. Has anyone seen these eye movements in action? --Sonicandtails (talk) 01:04, 9 September 2017 (EDT)

It's unused, I couldn't get the animation to trigger even if Sonic was an ice cube for 5 minutes. --TrustyGun (talk) 13:09, 10 September 2017 (EDT)

Level editor in action

Not much really, I was just watching this video by FruitCake https://youtu.be/mgbd7_-Ro3Q and noticed at the 1:18 mark the level editor is shown, as well as a debug icon. Again, not a huge discovery, but still. --Just a memer. (talk)

Unused Mini Tails Lift sprites?

So I was on The Spriters Recourse and I found unused Fly Lift and Fly Lift Tired sprites for Mini Tails and I saw that they were not on TCRF so I wondered if you could add them. here is a link to the sprites. https://www.spriters-resource.com/fullview/95305/

P.S. The sprites are at the bottom, just before the Blue Spheres sprites. --TheSonicFan2015 (talk) 19:36, 18 September 2017 (EDT)

Pulp Solstice?

I saw that someone added an unused sprite for the TV in studiopoplis zone, and I was wondering weather that was what was seen in sonic discovery at the end of act 2. I also thought that that was pulp solstice zone and that maybe PSZ was replaced with PGZ because of controversy with the eye of Providence. -I don't have a homepage, just talk with me. SonicR

diffes of the chinese translation

The first translation string, in the early, it had a misspell of '統' to '總', in the final, it is be fixed.
Secohd (sorry im misspelled) string, in the final, it had a '—' added in after the '索尼克技能' text appears.

Heavy Gunners Rockets

I dont think that the bullets would be paired together. I think that everything was the same, but instead the Intact Rocket sprite would be used normaly and the Busted Rocket sprite would be used when you hit it. -TheKidCode

About Plus..

When it's released, should it be included here as an update, or a new article? --See you on Scratch or something! -PacManfan64 (talk) 20:32, 16 March 2018 (EDT)

PS4 accidental update.

Mania has just been updated for the PS4, should we document the changes here or should we wait a while? - Chillius

We can either add documents about it or wait for Sonic Mania Plus release. Personally, I think we should add it. - Trimint123

Unused Encore Mode

In Sonic Mania Plus, instead of encore mode, it was gonna be a vaperwave mode. This unused vaperwave mode is just the encore palletes and layouts and slowed down, lower pitched music. It was added back into the game by 'CodenameGamma' on YouTube. When the music fades out, it get's it's normal pitch back and goes the normal speed for half a second. This goes on for every single zone in the game. This was the beta encore mode. However, Chemical Plant Zone uses its mania mode pallete. The music effect even applies to the 1-up jingle, the act clear music and the boss themes. Strange, isn't it?

I've moved this here from the main page, as it doesn't explain what was actually found/how to activate it. And the cheat to activate it is behind a paywall. --Hiccup (talk) 19:01, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Unused Speed Gate Object

There is an object called 'SpeedGate.' It's in all object list in every stage. It seems unfinished as nothing works with it only the timer, filter, and the finish line for the timer. There are more configs for SpeedGate but don't work, these are: 'Prize, ID, and Direction.' Many unused sprites within the unused object don't work. Sprites are in DataGlobalObjects.gif and the bin file is called, 'SpeedGate.bin'. Ingame it uses the Checkpoint sound for crossing both the Start Gate and Finish Gate.

Unused titanic monarch act 1 - act 2 transition

If you use debug mode to go off screen to the right of the act 1 boss, there's an unused hall leading to a layer 2 hole in the wall. A similar hole can be found without using debug behind the start of act 2. This could be an unused level transition.

This is a sub-page of Sonic Mania.

General

Unused sprites for the game's title screen show the game's early name 'Sonic (the Hedgehog) Discovery', most likely left over from the prototype shown to SEGA.

The initial menus of early demos. Oddly, it does not have Mirage Saloon or Chemical Plant, both of which were playable at E3 2017.

Ending graphics from early demos.

Different background graphics for the title screen leftover from the 'Discovery' part of development, with a slightly more geometric island and graphics of a strange Model 1 Genesis with a 32X and a Model 1 Sega CD emitting a beam of light. The sky background was later reused for Pinball Bonus Stage in Encore Mode.

Unfinished graphics for Sonic on the title screen, missing several shades on the spines and gloves. Interestingly, these were located as part of a PNG file, as opposed to the GIF format used by most of the game's sprite files.

Early unfinished graphics of the English text, pause menu, and save select/2 player race are in DataSpritesUI

Sprites for an Act 3 are in the title card graphics. Although the boss arenas of Lava Reef Zone and Titanic Monarch are considered the 'Act 3' of those respective zones, the title card still refers to them as 'Act 2', rendering this graphic completely unused.

Because none of the zones' names include these letters, J, K, Q, V, X and Z all go unused.

An early pause menu, seen in some pre-release footage.

Sonic Mania Amy Sprites

Early graphics for the elemental shields and the insta-shield can be found in Sprites/Global/ShieldsOld.gif.

These early shield graphics are traced from the original Sonic 3 sprites, but with colors changed and more detail added. The final shield sprites were redrawn from the ground up and feature a lot of additional frames.

Unused animations for Sonic & Tails looking up and looking straight ahead while piloting the Tornado, akin to Tails piloting the Tornado in Sonic 2. They both stay in their default animation cycle in the final game, akin to Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

These early shield graphics are traced from the original Sonic 3 sprites, but with colors changed and more detail added. The final shield sprites were redrawn from the ground up and feature a lot of additional frames.

Unused animations for Sonic & Tails looking up and looking straight ahead while piloting the Tornado, akin to Tails piloting the Tornado in Sonic 2. They both stay in their default animation cycle in the final game, akin to Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

Some unused sprites that were going to be used for Mini Tails holding Mini Sonic. But since Sonic can't hang on Tails while Tails is flying even though they both are mini, these go unused in the final product. Also, there are no sprites for Mini Sonic hanging on something.

All signposts but Sonic's are labeled with the respective character's initial in the sprite sheet. There are two placeholder copies of Sonic's signpost art seemingly labeled 'M' and 'A'. With the introduction of Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel as playable characters in Sonic Mania Plus, it's possible the 'A' is actually a badly-drawn 'R', and that these placeholders were for them.

A 'PERFECT' bonus graphics, used in the previous game for collecting all rings in an Act or Special Stage. This graphic is found in both the normal and special stage results.

In Sonic Mania, getting all of the rings in an act (Easiest to do in Sonic and Tails' Mirage Saloon Act 1) will not give this bonus; The devs probably figured that the acts in the game were far too large to get everything in a reasonable amount of time (or, in some cases, impossible), so they decided to eliminate the bonus and replace with Cool Bonus.

In the case of Special Stages, it's impossible to get every ring in any Special Stage (The closest the player can get is in Special Stage 1, but even then, there's one ring floating in the air that's impossible to reach), and the Blue Spheres bonus stages don't have a results screen.

Another unused text graphic. Sonic Chaos changed the standard time bonus from operating on certain time thresholds to being expressed as a 1 to 999 km/h speed bonus. Something similar might have been planned here.

Or it could have gone on the HUD and shown the player's speed. Y'know. Plausible.Or this was used for the mach bonus, maybe .

Blue Spheres

Included in the Blue Sphere bonus stage files are sprites of the Chaos Emeralds and Super Emeralds redone for Mania with two extra frames and a different color palette. According to the sprite sheet, these emerald sprites were polished up version of the unused classic sprites. This could've meant the Blue Spheres Minigame would be reused as a Special Stage. If you use an editor to place them into a stage, they function like red spheres by taking you back to the last checkpoint.

Debug Graphics

These sprites were meant to be used with Debug mode.

Special Stage

An odd message. Maybe it was supposed to be displayed after getting the Chaos Emerald and exiting the stage?

A 'HYPER' graphic is present in the result graphics, which means that the return of the Hyper form might have been planned. Strangely, a Sonic 2 variant goes unused in its remastered version.

Green Hill Zone

This fireball from Hill Top Zone's boss in Sonic 2 was the original graphic for the burning logs in Green Hill Zone. The final game replaces this with a more detailed burning animation with palette that matching the Flame Shield itself. It can be seen in Polygon's GHZ Act 2 gameplay.

The unused totem pole graphics from Sonic 1, updated and still unused.

Chemical Plant Zone

Both Sonic and Knuckles have special intros when entering Chemical Plant Zone, where a drop of purple water falls on their heads and they react to it. This happens to Tails as well, however, he has no special animation in-game for it. From these sprites it's clear that he was meant to have one, where he uses his tails to dry himself off. A slightly different animation was eventually added to the game in the 1.04 update. The new spritesheet in 1.04 overwrites the unused one from earlier versions.

The above sprites, animated.

Leftover sprites from the Taxman remake of Sonic 2.

Studiopolis Zone

This is an intact version of those blue missiles that the player has to launch at Heavy Gunner. It's obvious that both sprites are the same thing, but the intact sprite are supposed to be used until the player hit it, which then it would used the busted sprite.

An unused object from Studiopolis Act 2, named 'LoveTester' in the code. The player would have to jump into a cage to activate it.

These lights would line up along the sides of the love tester machine.

This monitor would display one of the icons below, depending on what character the player is and what result they get.

Nice hand-drawn graphics for Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. The first expression is neutral, the second is for winning, and the third is for losing.

Amy and Eggman icons, along with three hearts; two being small and large red ones and other being broken and purple.

The winning and losing icons depend on what character you're playing as (they are listed below). When winning, the red hearts would appear and you get 400 points. Losing makes the broken heart appear and doesn't give you points. Getting any other character simply gives you 100 points.

Using the love tester as Mighty or Ray crashes the game.

An unused TV monitor with a background graphic and gradient (found in SPZ2/Objects2.gif) larger than the one seen in the Weather Mobile boss arena (found in SPZ2/WeatherMobile.gif). This is defined in the file SPZ2/GreenScreen.bin. Technically, these sprites are used, but by the also unused GreenScreen object.

This is how the TV screen looks when everything is layered correctly.

Apparently a boss very similar to Gapsule from Sonic & Knuckles was cut from Act 2, likely named the Egg Janken going by the name it's given in the game's internal object list. Its eyes would represent a game of rock-paper-scissors, likely a reference to Sega's Alex Kidd franchise (which relies heavily on rock-paper-scissors, typically for boss battles).

Flying Battery Zone

The prongs of the Big Squeeze mini-boss are supposed to light up when it's charging - there are four frames of animation for it in the sprite sheet. Only the first frame is used in-game.

The busted Chopper heads in the Big Squeeze trash pile have eight frames of animation, but only the first frame is used.

The turrets from Wing Fortress Zone were set to reappear here. The tip is a separate sprite and would rotate to track the player in-game.

Another cut object from Wing Fortress Zone. There are many wind tunnel sections in Act 2, but this object isn't in any of them.

The last cut WFZ object is the infamous retracting platform.

This is a larger version of the Spider Mobile's electric bolt that generates those plasma orbs.

In the tileset for Flying Battery Zone are some clouds that look much closer to their Sonic & Knuckles counterparts. This image has been reconstructed to show what they may have looked like in-game.

Press Garden Zone

Graphics for an earlier version of Juggle Saw are in Sprites/PSZ1/Enemies-Old.gif in version 1.03. The early design doesn't have googly eyes and its legs don't move, suggesting it originally stood in one place.

Woodrow's early design is in the same file. This version is a lot more hammer-like that the finished design, which looks more like a woodpecker.

Two placeholder images for Woodrow can be found in Sprites/PSZ2/Enemies-Temp.gif.

While all of the alphabet blocks have raised animations ready, only 'A', 'O', and 'T' are used.

Green versions of the silver and blue and copper crates seen throughout Act 1. Probably a good thing that these were never used - they don't contrast well with the background.

A big stack of newspapers. Why not? These were later reused for objects in the transition cut scene in the 1.04 update.

Big jars of cyan, magenta and yellow ink, larger than the ones that the Splats enemies spawn from. When Tails or Knuckles enters the jar, they'll be tinted cyan/magenta/yellow. Because of the way Sonic's palette is set up, he's unaffected by the ink jars.

The graphic on the right is supposed to combine with the jars..

..something like this. The actual blending in-game looks better, obviously.

Splash graphics for those three ink jars. Entering an exiting the jars should produce this effect, but they're conspicuously absent from the actual game.

A high-speed ink wiper. These would presumably clean the ink off the player(s), but it doesn't seem to do anything as it is.

Big printers on rails. The first, worn-out looking printer is in Sprites/PSZ1/Objects.gif, while the newer, shinier printer one is in Sprites/PSZ1/Objects2.gif . The game labels these 'SP500' and 'SP500MkII' in the code. This is presumably a reference to the 4 Color Plotter Printer for the SC-3000, but the product number for that was SP-400; The SP-500 was the Sports Pad. Oh well.

The first printer has an opening at the top. If the player tries to go inside normally, they're rejected and fall out the bottom. If they're covered in ink, the printer drops down and tries to put the player..somewhere. It's likely that where it would have sent the player would have depended on the color of the ink, but it doesn't look the behavior was ever fully coded.

The second printer has a button at the top that the player has to step on to operate. The printer will pause a bit, then go from one side of the rail to the next. The printer and rail will then either go up or down, depending on the object's subtype.

These are on/off lights for both printers. The brighter lights are for the Mk II printer.

This strange object is labeled as a sprayer in Sprites/PSZ1/Acetone.bin, making that thing on the right a spray of acetone. When placed, it removes any ink off the player.

This is an Act 1 version of the swinging platforms seen in Act 2.

Graphics for the wood chippers and wall shuriken shooters from Act 2 are also present within Act 1's assets.

Within the 'Objects-Temp' sheet in Act 2's folder are a bunch of placeholder graphics for what would become the level's objects and gimmickry. A lot of them are ripped straight from IceCap Zone from Sonic 3, in addition to Aquatic Ruin Zone's Eggman-face shooters from Sonic 2, which were probably adapted into the wall shuriken shooters.

Stardust Speedway Zone

Comedy and tragedy mask constellations meant to be seen in the skies of Stardust Speedway Act 1.

Many downloads like Janome Digitizer Mbx may also include a serial number, cd key or keygen. If this is the case then it's usually included in the full crack download archive itself.

Janome Digitizer MBX Software is one of the most advanced digitizing programs on the market. 3ds max for mac. Developed in conjunction with Wilcom International, the world's leader of embroidery software, the Janome Digitizer.

Serial means a unique number or code which identifies the license of the software as being valid.

Graphics for a Marble Garden-esque spiked crusher. Doesn't really fit in with the high-speed pace of the rest of the act, so it makes sense that it was never put anywhere.

The spinning signposts seen through the Sonic CD version of Stardust Speedway make no appearance here. There's a signpost object in edit mode, but it uses old graphics from the Sonic CD remaster and it isn't attached to anything.

A smaller version of the large dirt piles that the vines sprout out of.

A whole lot of frames for the annoying Hotaru badniks go unused, as they only ever point their bottoms directly downwards. These correspond to the original version of this enemy in Sonic CD's Stardust Speedway, which can be placed in debug mode and behaves accordingly. However, like the signpost, it still uses the old graphics from Sonic CD instead of this updated set.

Hydrocity Zone

Early hook graphics are left in the HCZ/Objects.gif file. The early graphics have the useful hook in the foreground and the useless hook darkened in the background, while the final version changes this so they're both in the foreground, but the useful hook is flipped, fatter, and green.

Mirage Saloon Zone

It seems that the first design for the piñatas was of a Ball Hog, which looks similar to a design featured in an early version of Sonic the Hedgehog. This was later changed to a more traditional star-shaped design.

The Cactinauts on the seesaws were supposed to flash like the Sols in Hill Top Zone, and have a surprised animation when they're launched in the air, but in the final game they're completely static.

It was discovered that the tile set used in the Mirage Saloon inter-stage cutscene for Sonic and Tails in the Nintendo Switch version of Sonic Mania, was an earlier version to the one loaded over in the final game. These include some major differences such as wooden quarter ramps and a barrel in place of decoration tiles, but also minor changes like the palette of the background having a darker darkest shade of blue and slightly different decorations.

Oil Ocean Zone

A horizontal version of the booster objects that propel the player into those ball launcher things. Unused in the original Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and also unused here.

An unused gold variant of the silver switches seen in Act 2.

Lava Reef Zone

A seperate foreground layer of embers, meant to fall in Lava Reef Zone. Could have given the zone a hotter, more volcanic feeling.

Earlier, more primitive versions of the fireballs in Act 1 were left in LRZ1/Objects.gif.

Spiked platforms on conveyor belts, seen in Act 2 of the original Lava Reef Zone but not in Sonic Mania. It was seemingly intended to be used; corrupted remnants of the platform conveyor can still be found in the low layer in Act 2.

This is an updated version of the crystalline boulder that Knuckles chucked at Sonic and Tails in the original zone. Not sure what it would have done here.

This giant chain link is in Heavy Rider's sprite sheet. As the Little Planet is in the background of the stage, and the following Zone is Metallic Madness, perhaps this was part of a cut exit sequence for Sonic & Tails based on the animated intro to Sonic CD? It can even be found in a BG layer, which lines up perfectly with Little Planet's location.

Active version of the Super Emeralds in Knuckles' boss area - in the final game, they're nowhere to be seen, replaced by stone relics. This is not taken directly from Sonic 3 & Knuckles; The graphics have actually been touched up a bit here.

Two icons for a stage editor can be found in LRZ2/Objects.gif The 'CVYR' graphic shows up in edit mode, but for some reason the white text isn't displayed, so it's just a black circle. The 'DROP' graphic doesn't appear at all.

Metallic Madness Zone

A spinning version of the cylinders in Metallic Madness Zone..and the animation is labeled as 'Barrel' in MMZ/Platform.bin..wonder what this could be referencing?

Egg Reverie Zone

A big chunk of tiles in the Egg Reverie tileset go unused, suggesting that the original plans for the zone might have been quite different. For instance, these support structures that hold up the platforms in the boss area are too far below the camera for the player to see.

Slopes that don't show up anywhere in the stage proper, but can be seen outside the boss area.

Sonic Mania Sprites Tails Plush

There are even quarter-pipes, both normal and crystallized. Note that the normal versions of the slopes and quarter-pipes are actually just palette swaps of tiles seen in Titanic Monarch Zone.

In Data/Sprites/UI/SaveSelectEN.gif, there's an unused Save Select icon for Egg Reverie Zone. Maybe you were originally able to start at Egg Reverie Zone instead of having to play through all of Titanic Monarch Zone, just like Doomsday Zone from Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

Scrap Brain Zone

Leftover sprites were found in the game's sprite folder, showing sprites for Scrap Brain Zone. These sprites are clearly from Sonic 1, they most likely are leftovers from Sonic 1 on iOS and Android, as the layout of the sheet is identical to Mania's. These sprites were removed in a subsequent update.

Hidden Palace Zone

Sprites of the remade Hidden Palace Zone from the mobile remake of Sonic 2. Like Scrap Brain Zone, these could either be leftovers from the mobile remake or placeholders for what would be Hidden Palace Zone in the game. Of all of these assets, only the Jellygnite badnik would be chosen to be updated; namely for Hydrocity Zone.

D. A. Garden

Graphics with buttons and screens would have been used in the D.A. Garden and may resemble the Sega CD's UI before it was scrapped in favor of a more generic interface.

Miscellaneous

Various leftover sprites from the mobile ports of Sonic 1, 2, and the failed mobile Sonic 3 pitch located in Blueprints of the game's sprites folder.

Straight from The Taxman's keyboard-mouth:

The Blueprints thing isn't special at all really. 'Blueprint Zone' was something that existed very early on while I was developing RSDKv5. We just ported a bunch of stuff from the remasters to test the tools out, and simply forgot to delete the sprite sheet when it wasn't needed anymore.

As of version 1.03.0831, the Blueprints folder and this image file no longer exist in the game data.

A few icons for a stage editor can be found in Editor/Icons.gif.
