its so scuffed though
Holy crap, When this boy got udated?
Wow. They had the Sonic 1 ending sprites in here too?
Thanks for the heads up! I've submitted an update to fix that.
This got changed!?
there's a missing frame of the 0° running sprite body piece, in its place there's a duplicate sprite
Oooh nice sheet overhaul 👀
i love my overly smooth walk animations
god that hitting a wall thing would HAVE to be annoying
In my opinion, it looks like Sega was too lazy to do the new Sonic design, like look at his eyes... But In other beta versions, Sega managed to create different sprites for it, which are what we have today :D
It’s sonic over
he looks so sad when he bumps into walls... he looks like a little baby... don't worry son kick it will be ok
It seems that some Sonic Mania's animations were inspired by these.
-The idea of a 12 framed walking cycle.
-The spiral leg run for both Sonic & Knuckles' dashing animations.
-The first 4 frames of the skidding reused for Sonic.
-The unused mid rotation kinda looks identical.
Looks like Sonic Mania's developers really liked the S2 prototypes huh?

gotta go slower sonic, gotta go slower.
that unused balancing animation though
Second skid animation is also used for bouncing back after hitting a wall.
@Danny Jarquin yes
hot take: the skidding animation is better than the final version
@EpicMemer9000
Sonic is in a midlife crisis
