I do wonder why the Pink and Green Emeralds had a unique flash sprite. Maybe they were seen as the more significant or special ones?

@thelonelysoul12345: It could be a reference to M.C. Esher's Sky & Water. Why? I have no idea...

Is Sonic rolling in this stage, or jumping?

He spins, for he does not know.

@dogefan91 it's because the Genesis in its stock configuration doesn't have hardware graphic rotations like the SNES does with Mode 7, therefore they had to include all the possible rotations needed to render the stage.
(I say "stock configuration" because the Sega/Mega CD add-on does, in fact, provide this hardware rotation support, as does the 32X)

@dogefan Well, 15. But yeah, that's still a fairly large disconnect. It all has to do with SPEED.

its weird: SEGA will make 30 frames for turning blocks in the special stage that we rarely see and leave sonic with a 5 frame jump animation.
