Just had a stark realization, some of the unused sprites would later be retooled to become Metal Sonic's. One animation in particular bears a striking resemblance to one of Metal Sonic's attacks. The second, more famous attack where he dashes towards Sonic at full speed, is using Sonic's Mid-Air Rotation. Likewise, Sonic's drowning sprite was retooled into Metal Sonic's defeat pose. Now that's clever use of resources!

It doesn't really matter that they didn't implement Junio Sonic back during the game's development, this sprite is still good for the vibe of the game. Besides, it's like this Sonic sprite was made for this game.

That doesn't happen in Sonic Mania (plus), as chibi sonic (and also the other characters as well) have their own death sprite.

I actually think that's a sprite (and the one before it) for Sonic sneezing because he has a sort of Spider-sense if you will, he detects danger whenever he sneezes basically... it MIGHT'VE been for an in-gamecutscene

It just came to me, but what if the unused skidding sprite would be used if Sonic were to try to skid at peelout speeds, since it looks like Sonic's really pulling back, as if he was going so fast it almost looks like he's struggling to slow down

@SDG Hi, I have already submitted an revision for this sheet, that solves this issue, but the problem is that the revision is still in Approval Pending, so you might wait for this revision to be approved.
Edit 1: Haven't gotten anything about that revision, so I might wait for a while for it to be approved.
Edit 2: Finally, it got approved, so i think it solves your problem now.

The 2nd Skidding Animation is actually used in the 1993 original version too, not just the 1996 pc port.

@Da-thing the same thing can be seen in the loading screens in Sonic 4 if i am correct

The first and last rotations for the running high ramps animation use the skintone instead of white on the shoes like the base running animation. I just felt like I had to point out that useless fact...
