Since the holes face backward, it is likely that Motobugs would use these weapons while driving ahead of Sonic.

The result is a brisk, color ful romp filled to the brim with unique stages.

However, in the actual fights, Sonic is silent, and Eggman only has one line in the final battle.

The other Acts would have been optional side-missions, which explains why they all reuse level geometry from other levels.

In most cases, the two main Acts were split into separate Acts.

Additionally, although the Acts were split, the geometry for what would have remained of the levels (excluding objects and enemies) is still loaded in and can be accessed through glitches or hacking.

Its unclear why these changes were made, though it is presumed they were done to pad out the games length.

This stage makes use of the Spikes powerup inside a large maze-like structure.

This stage provides the Drill powerup to speed through some dirt.

The most interesting piece is an early design of the Yellow Wisp, in image form.

It is named cmnobjpixyspnSD and uses three textures, two of which are not in the archive.

The textures are cmnobjpixyspndifSD, cmnobjpixyspnhalodifSD, and cmnobjpixyspnstrpdifSD.

There is also an unused version of the ramp object named cmnobjtrickpanel30LSD.

It uses the filename stg49002 and references textures that werent put on the disc (listed below).

The textures have the letter code evn (likely for event) and were used to texture the generator platform and the tractor beam chain.

Additionally, a copy of part of Tropical Resorts boss ring (of which the Planet Wisp boss is a copy) exists in the same folder, with the name stg49004.

Both bosses have a unique missile model loaded with them, which each have their own unique textures.

Unlike most models in the game, these textures have the shadows baked into the texture.

Both bosses have an animation of moving the cylinders on their back, referred to as shotloop which would have been used to launch the missiles.

Ever wonder what those tube things were for Now you know.) Refreshinator never uses this animation, but Rotatatron uses it when launching the glowing pink ninja stars from his face.

Each tube has a glowing spot on the front and a square hole on the back.

They are rigged to bones called PartsL and PartsR, aligned in such a way that the cylinders can easily move out from the position of the spot.

Each one also has a bone named WeaponSpot aligned with the glowing spot on each cylinder.

The larger Motobug enemy has the same bones but does not have the hidden weapons.
