Sonic 1 Pictures Explained Sonic 1 Alpha These are pictures of sonic 1 beta. You can oviusly see that its GHZ because of thhe floor, but everything else is different like its at night and the mountain backgroung. The sprites also seem to be different and very early in developemnt. the palm trees to the left seem to be tilted. Also the what the heck are those white things. Lastly all of the displays are missing (ex. timer, rings, etc) Same as above just what the heck does that sign in the BG say.Its looks to say "welcome" also the palletes seem to be different or it may just be the picture. Sonic 1 Beta These pictures are oviusly beta, its even says in the article. The first thing you will notice is sonic jumping at the end of the act. The picture on the end sign is also different. what was sonic team on when they made these sprites *shot*. Ok in the next one you will see sonic rolling on a the ball that DR. robotnick uses at the end of the level . there a ball similar to this in OOZ in sonic 2 beta. well atleast the sprites improved from the alpha =P. i woud like to know why he's going right to left and going up a hill these defeats gravity and rules on sonic, always left to right =P These are some sprites that were found in the sonic 1 final rom that were never used n sonic 1 final. oviusly the bottom one was used at the end f the levek because of the top pivtures but what about the rest were never found in any pics . the top one seems to be maybe used to fade out or in when sonic dies. the second one is oviusly sonic calling someone or shouting. the third one seems to be sonic punchng maybe sonic was meant to fight or something and be able to punch. who knows. hmmm....i wonder whats wrong withthis picture, it cant be the UFOs in the background =P. those actually seeem to be death egg's maybe. also notice that the BG is very similar to the BG of the alpha GHZ, maybe thats where they got the idea for the mountain BG. Sparkling zone? well this is the beta of spring yard zone. The background seem to be from CNZ or even look to be building maybe, well this is very weird and so are the objects in the back. well this proves that they were building in the BG, maybe this is where they got the idea for CPZ. Also what is that greenish thing in the bottom right corner, looks to be the scrolling platforms in CNZ from sonic 2. One more thong, how the heck so sonic walking in mid air. there must have been a jump of a sort that launch him or the jumping sprites wern't finished yet. not much to notice in this picture except for 2 things, theres no BG and the crystal things on the ceiling. also sonic's sprite seem to be weird, so does the first sparkling zone one. seems t be the same sprite. "Clock Ork"? well it doesnt take a degree in rocket science to figure out that it is clock Work zone. Also the same weird looking beta Sprites. also if you look close enough you will see the BG is different, right by the "Z" in zone, that panel in the BG im almost certainis not in the final. As you can see the BG is also missing in this one , you can search SLZ all year and will never find this location. This may be furher in development. it oesnt have the weird looking sprites. the bottoms of the floors are also different , they are as if they are floating or something. The code for this is very complicated and hard, you can get the code here (thanks to Luigi Link for the code). These are names of memebers of sonic team. very cool.
