I know the shrugging sprites aren't meant for this, but it would be neat if it was for a scrapped super form. it could've been him holding his hands out as the time stones hover in an arc between them.

hey, did mania reuse the jump sprite?

the unused one where Sonic shrug is like he's saying "ah well, maybe next time"

Does anyone know the order that the jumping sprites go in, or is it the same as on the sheet?

Maybe the shrugging sprites were planned to be used when Sonic failed a Special Stage, and Sonic sinking in the 6th frame could be:
A. It wasn't finished
B. It was a mistake
C. When Sonic fails the Special Stage on the water (Water makes the timer go down SUPER fast)

Lmao, you can see how Sonic just gave up when the player falls from the ground in the unused sprites.

I just noticed that the 510 Spinning sprite is actually repurposed for Knuckles in the Chaotix Special Stages

[Revision in development. Please PM me any issues in future instead of sticking them in the public comments in the understanding that I will get to them in time; it genuinely does feel like my hand is being forced even if that is not the intention, and I don't have nearly as much free time due to IRL circumstances to be as quick as I was to fix things. Thank you for understanding.]

@Paraemon you dont have to be so rude about it, hes not forcing you to rerip it, hes just pointing out that the sprites were ripped from sonic cd 510. theres no reason for you to take it personally. theres literally nothing more to elaborate or explain about it. are you expecting an essay on why these sprites arent from the final build of sonic cd?

I though that hes gonna turn intro super sonic in that shrugging sprite in the 5th frame

I think the reason why they gave sonic a different pallet is possibly due to some special stages having sonics normal stage pallet, and sonic could possibly blend in with it but I'm not sure to be honest.

Maybe that shrugging sprite that went unused maybe was for when sonic looses in the special stage.

I wish they used this style and palette for Sonic.

I've got the official Sonic 25th anniversary artbook, and on page 46 on the Sonic 1 section there's drawings that look like the unused ones here. There's ones for shrugging and falling. It explains why Sonic's feet are cut off in the shrugging and why his quills go up -he's falling. There's japanese writing over it but I don't know what it says.

@MCTravisYT I think the last 3 unused ones were in Sonic 1; the two of sonic hanging, and the last one of sonic falling

I think one of those sprites were in Sonic 1 but unused

I like the palette here better than any of Sonic's other palettes!

@ROBLOX Technically, but a lot of creative liberties would need to be taken since we don't know for certain what the intended context for each was.

Can someone hack Sonic CD To remake the Prototypes? and bring the unused stuff back?

I have my own theory for the "shruging" animation: it would have been used when you've cleared a Special Stage when you already have all Time Stones (as seen with the Super Sonic spines, remember both CD and 2 were developped at almost the same time). For the fact that Sonic is "sinking", I think that's because the sprites were simply unfinished which would also make sense as to why they've removed them.
