@i dont know It's weird to put it lightly. Technically the Virtual Boy doesn't have a palette in the same way as most consoles.

The console itself has red LED lights and they are not part of the palette, all the console knows is what brightness setting to use (off, A, B, C). So basically emulators instead have to make up a palette. Some emulators you can even change the colours like with BizHawk, it shows red, blue, purple and black by default with a faked 3D effect instead of red what older emulators used (and even then the values for the red and black are different depending on what emulator you use). There are even console mods such as the VirtualTap.

As for graphics in this game, they are stored differently compared to most Virtual Boy games. If you are familiar with the ZX Spectrum because that also stores its graphics "b&w", it is similar with one layer and then a shadow mask.

I never understood what the red STUFF under Robotnik is supposed to be. He looks so panicked when the machine lowers that it kinda looks like blood

Sounds like Sega intentionally named a pathetically easy boss after their competitor. That's funny.

Xande's sprite uses his colors from the 3D version. That's neat. Not sure why Dark Bahamut from FFIV is doing here though.
