--- By Gabriel Morales --- CD Secrets - And Longer Levels --- I have been recently messing around with sonic cd (domestic sega cd version) using the debug. Everyone knows that there are icons which are nowhere to be seen in the game, right? WRONG! I have found 2 of the 3 strange icons in the levels and i am sure I can find the 3rd! I found the 2 (clock and the S (super sonic icon)) in the bad future of palmtree panic. I was fighting robotnic when I noticed a small bar in the debug parts list. I placed it and another robotnic appeared. Cool. I beat them both and headed down the tube thing, but I didn't distroy the roboegg thing. I thought it would be cool to fight infront of it. So i placed a robotnic. Then... all hell breaks loose. The game screen shakes violently and you a thrown back to the place where you fought robotnic(rats!). But the game only scrolls horizantaly, not verticly. So your under the area. When everything comes back into order, you'll notice 3 1 up icons ( i think the might not be 1 up icons, because i used a clock before. I'll explain later) Anyway, I move ontop of one and exit debug (other wise i'd just fall into a pit) and jump. It turns out the first is really a 1 up (or maybe a silver ring. Read on!), while the second is ... THE S!!! THE THIRD IS A CLOCK!!! Cool, eh! Now for my theorys and findings: When you jump on a clock, other than all the animations stoping, all the icons turn into 1up pictures. They don't give you a 1up though. My theory is the silver ring is useless untill you wold hit a clock icon (which would have been in the levels). Then they would turn into 1ups untill the clock ran out. OR. When you hit the clock, all items would be 1ups for a short while. But the coding was never finished. I also believe that super sonic was going to be in the game.OR. that the S icon is not supposed to be in the game and is used to show the game the invincibility and super shoes physics. Also, I think the levels were intended to much much much larger, because when you scroll down into the ground on palmtree panic, there is another level down there, complete whit springs and rings. --- Taken from 'Secrets of Sonic the Hedgehog - The Original' http://secretsonic.cjb.net ---
