i know this isn't a issue in pm but recently i tryed recoloring sonic to be golden
but some 3 colors are inconsistent in the third unused flying frame

If it was there, I didn't add it in before revising it, so it's only inevitable it was mistakenly canned. I'm looking at what Devon provided below and via PM, and it seems there was a third one, but it was broken (it looked like it had the AI Art hand with it being in two pieces) so it'll go into unused. Revising [there's a lot more to be parsed since I've got two PMs on this and there's a lot of info so I've covered the skid sprite for now, more full revision at unknown later date]

Wasn't there a third frame to the skid that was present before the sheet was reuploaded? If I'm correct, that frame was on this sheet before, but is now removed for some reason. Was there any reason to remove it? Or was it a mistake?

tiny sonic! look at tiny sonic! i want a tiny sonic game!

What About Animated GIFS?

Why ask?

hello is it ok if i use this spritesheet as a sonic 3 mod along with your sonic cd special stage spritesheet?

Done.

Thanks Devon! I'll get to it ASAP (having two days out of seven where I can do much of anything is a complete struggle now) - could you please send a copy of this via PM?

The shrinking sprites don't exist in v0.02. They existed in a build between v0.02 and 510. Also, there's actually a third unused Wacky Workbench hanging sprite that can be found in Tidal Tempest's sprite data.

I have direct rips of every unique sprite set in the final game here, the palette applied should match your sheet:
Palmtree Panic 1/2: https://i.imgur.com/Mk81EZ5.png
Tidal Tempest: https://i.imgur.com/POMwdCp.png
Metallic Madness: https://i.imgur.com/ziwaKWm.png
Every other stage: https://i.imgur.com/ziyEBsi.png

The Tidal Tempest sheet does show that mappings data for the shrinking and proto rolling sprites still exist in the final, but the actual tile data was removed by 510. You can also see the third unused hanging sprite in row 3, column 1.

For completion's sake, here's a rip of the 1996 PC version's sprites https://i.imgur.com/fn78amz.png and also v0.02's (broken frames not fixed) https://i.imgur.com/WpLKZqJ.png

The other prototypes' sprite sets are almost identical to the final, bar some missing sprites, and also flipped balancing and skidding sprites. I also wonder if earlier sprite sheets/rips were just taken from the PC version and labeled as for the Mega CD version...

Got it, I'll fix it later.

Might as well bring this up now; the shrinking and (bottom) forward/backward jumping sprites don't actually exist in the final version! They only exist in the v0.02 prototype and 1996 PC releases. Furthermore, the second electrified sprite should have yellow in place of white.

@DZTVE I think that's the whole point of that sprite

@Cateye probably because that was fixed for sonic cd, play any revision of sonic cd and the walking sprites will be aligned

why does sonic not bob up and down while he's walking? sonic 1's sprites had him bob up and down, and by the looks of it nothing else is changed, and he's not floating above the ground in some sprites

I love that they then went to an entirely different rip on the site for their holy grail without checking back here.

@GeoDoesAnimations: The sprites near the bottom of the sheet right above the Mini-Sonic sprites, listed as "Speed Launcher"?

Yo why is this sprite never in these sheets
are they just that disliked or something
and ofc it doesnt show

The other unused walking sprite looks like sonic is swimming

I've been up less than an hour so I'm still half asleep and my response may be unkind, but calm down. I stopped ripping and working on provided rips for a few months, and things fell by the wayside in that time. I'm adding those to the sheet as I write this but don't expect me to remember every little thing, it's why I revise things until I'm sure that there's nothing else missing.
