They Do?
interesting how the 2 player competition mode uses the new design and how the surf board intro uses World of Illusion's mickey hands
It’s the S3 colour palette now.
Hot take: these are the best sonic sprites EVER.
It actually probably wasn't a placeholder. Given how several new sprites were created for him in the S2 style, the fact that the change was made very late in development, and that Tails didn't get the same treatment, it's likely that the developers did intend for him to keep his appearance from Sonic 2 for most of the development of Sonic 3.
Has to be one of my favorites Prototype Sonic Sprites
ngl, i kind of prefer the "Hanging from Tails" sprites here over the final version
also i'm only gonna guess that the reason they reused the S2 sprites is because it was likely a placeholder or something

@Fourthestickman: They modified the sprites to remove the 4th shade of blue from the palette. So technically they are new sprites.
It's just the sonic 2 sprites with the s3 pallete
@SFYTAG I think that's in Sonic 3C Delta
Where's the sprite of him lifting his fist up?
Can i use the surfboarding sprites please? i need it for a custom spritesheet
Where are Tails' sprites?
what about the surfboard after sonic jumps off it? I legit can't find it anywhere at all
edit: nvm I found it on tsr

@A983 - For some reason, the palette, which goes from light to dark in the palette line, reverses its order when Sonic transforms. Rather than have one version of the appearance and it look odd, I put in two - the original, and how it should be. There are broken sprites from the final version that also get fixes on their respective sheets.

Fix revision submitted. If I could be PM'd regarding issues with this sheet from now on, that'd be great.
Also, walk frame 5 is incorrectly shifted right a bit than it should be.

I like how he becomes funny and compressed in the holding on animation
You're welcome, happy to have helped!
