G O T T A G O Above speeds considered average
+Epic Minecraft Gamer no idea my man
TetraBitGaming legally required to travel at a moderate pace
Am required by my company to travel at speeds far above average
@Epic Minecraft Gamer you get it by unlocking it in the blue spheres if your talking about the debug mode that was being used in this video.
+Megaman 106 yes
I wish they left in the "I'm outta here !" It's such a great reference
It would cause some Glitches tho, like in CD
RaaaR, No Sonic jumping off the stage would, search Sonic CD glitch videos maybe you'll find one
The Great Majora i love CD so it would be a great reference
*The Great Majora* It refers to me too well
Benial is isn't. But if they used it for a time up, then it wouldn't be as bad
"Time to Escape" was likely made for when you get all the rings in a Blue Spheres stage, which would be alerting you to get out since you have a perfect.
Stormi that is definitly going to be used in the next Sonic.exe rom hack
ded
FanceThePerson :3 What does it even mean?
I think it means if there too much red spheres that mean you have to collect all the blue spheres ಠ_ಠ
oooooooooookkkkkkkkkkkkaaaasaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy
16:07 that also happens in the mini transformation. If you activate debug mode in the middle of the transformation, it will happen the same thing with sonic's sprite
16:38
knuckles:TAILS QUIT FOOLING AROUND AND HOP IN
*tails poses dramatically*
Knuckles:HURRY UP TAILS!
*then they both got barbiequed
I wish they added the unused Tails animation for Chemical Plant, it's so cute! x3
Edit, three years into the future: I know it was added in in Sonic Mania Plus. You can stop telling me now.
+Gravity Draws me too xD
I guess they left it out because when Tails used his.... well tails to dry himself it looked kinda weird
It's likely an oversight. They forgot to replace the place-holder with the animation
Stokes
Seems likely.
This comment has been modified so you wont understand why I have too much hate on the first place.
(Read my comment below this chaos plz)
12:23 “Let's beat Sonic Mania in 0.5x a presses. But first, we need to talk about parallel universes”

Nice joke to pannen there boi.

Unlike TAS Mario, TAS Sonic does not need to accelerate for 12 hours to travel to parallel universes, he just needs to alter his quantum state just right with a slope or interactive object, going into noclip mode by doing so.
*7:54** When Sonic Finally Goes To Fast*
Egg Reverie Pinch Mode was probably going to be used during the Egg Reverie boss when you had less than 10 rings, similar to what happens in the Doomsday Zone. It was most likely removed because the boss can actually hit you for ring damage, so there's the possibility of players staying in Pinch Mode for quite a long time.
That's enough unused content to make a sequel in its own right.
_hint hint_
+Jam Usagi hopefully xD
More likely new upcoming dlcs
Test . No DLCs for Mania m8 ;)
^"For now". :^)
The Gaming Knight the love tester is for rings go to youtube and do sonic mania love tester
God Sega please just give us Hyper Sonic again
sez who
They could clearly fix the seizure problem
Redz The Ultra-Kard They could change Hyper Sonic to look like Super Sonic, but with afterimages like they did with Hyper Knuckles and keep his double jump (without a screen flash) and inability to drown without the Aqua Shield.
His colors could change without flashing (something more constant and fluid) and they could just remove the screen flash like said before
The Great Majora They already have Super Sonic changing from gold to white, so I don't see why they couldn't make Hyper change from white to all the other olors he has.
The blue spheres level shown at 17:05 is the one that has 780 blue spheres. The blue spheres layout is a 32*32 grid. The outer two rows and columns are red spheres whereas the rest of the map is blue spheres. 28*28 = 784.
The centre four spaces are excluded. this would make the level one of the easiest blue spheres level as you would only need to collect the 12 blue spheres surrounding the empty space. All of the other blue spheres would automatically convert into rings.
The level was likely scrapped because it is impossible to complete the level with a perfect and because the level was used for testing purposes.
quick maths
About the love tester thing. Someone made a video on that. What actually happens is depending on the character you choose the outcome will give you a certain amount of points for it.
*If the character has a strong relationship with the outcome* = 400 Pts
*If the character is passive with the outcome* = 100 pts
*If the character dislikes the outcome* = 0pts
_every character's reactions_
*Sonic*
Tails = 100pts
Knuckles = 100pts
Eggman = 0pts
Amy = 400pts
*Tails*
Sonic = 400pts
Knuckles = 100pts
Amy = 100pts
Eggman = 0pts
*Knuckles*
Sonic = 0pts
Tails = 100pts
Amy = 100pts
Eggman= 400pts (Surprisingly)

We could've gotten the super emeralds...
I'm gonna go.
In Sonic CD, after 3 minutes, Sonic does the "I'm outta here!" thing.
Yeah he said that
In The PS3 Trail/Full Ver Of Sonic CD, if u get out of the charachters page, you will hear “IM OUTTA HERE!”
yeah
Dead meme cause Rick roll is dead
@@_razie_ ha lol ur name
So, here’s my theory about what ‘egg reverie pinch mode’ was meant to be.
I think egg reverie pinch mode was meant to play whenever super sonic had ONLY 10 rings when fighting the phantom king and eggman just like how in sonic 3 (AnD kNuCklE) when your in the doomsday zone, if you have 10 rings left the doomsday zone theme will start to speed up.
Or mabye it's when Egg Reverie is close to being defeated.
"Pinch" was used in sonic advance to signify when the boss was at its last couple hits, as well as in rush i believe. it's probably a callback to those and serves the same function
Maybe the Super Emeralds will make an appearence when you you "lock on" to the 2018 Sonic game. ;)
...Sonic Chaotix? o:
Wait, what if Forces will be able to lock on to Mania, allowing for the creation of Sonic Forces Mania? And then by doing so, you can play through Mania and get the good ending, smoothly transitioning into Forces, and if you complete the Forces half, or do whatever would've gotten you the Chaos Emeralds in it, you get the Super Emeralds instead, allowing access to Hyper Sonic in both Mania and Forces.
Windows U That would be hype AF.
Gaming Gallinule I wish they at least put Super forms for Sonic, another Sonic game I'm thinking of also did not have Super forms... Would be nice if they brought back the Avatar (the character you create yourself) in a future game, as I believe the ending after the credits hints of something unfinished for the Avatar to do.
It could very well be in Mania Plus
Hyper Forms were originally planned for Mania?!
I hope we can find unused color palettes for Hyper Sonic and Gold Flickies for Hyper Tails (Called Super Tails in 3&K) in the games files!
The Cutehog Team Love Your Channel can i get a shout out
No
The odds are at first they were going to keep knuckles super form as hyper knuckles.
Hibub Games I doubt it. Knuckles had a Super and Hyper Form in 3&K. However, Tails was only able to turn Super with the Super Emeralds in 3&K. Thankfully in Mania, Tails can now go Super with the Chaos Emeralds with the only difference being that he doesn't have the Gold Flickies. Fun Fact: The Super Tails in Mania actually appeared before in the iOS Versions of Sonic 1 and 2 if you used played as Tails, used Debug Mode, and hit an S Monitor!
"You don't get an emerald, you get a chaos emerald."
15:19 - Oh hey, that's probably for the scene transition that got finished in Plus. Cool!
12:23 If you want go to PU , charge a peel out for 12 hours. If failed you'll end up in Sonic 06

In Green Hill Act 2, there are floating spikes, you don't even need debug to see them floating.
only on the switc,
It's on all platforms. I play the Xbox version of Sonic Mania.
Yeah, don't worry, that's normal.
Pie Studios Xbox ftw!
I can't find them on the steam version, where are they?
10:58 that enemy is actually in Angel Island in Sonic Mania Plus
15:00 They actually put this on The Cutting Room Floor by the way. Great video!
+Tallest Flash oh dank, and thanks bruh
3:13 when you hear the bell ring in school
Or if school is over
Lol
Man, seeing all this, especially all the "hyper" stuff, I'm hoping fan support will lead them to release a "lock on technology" DLC. They could do so much. From a simple "Sonic & Tails & Knuckles" mode with Heroes style character switching, to maybe even putting in a new character or two, like a classic CD style Amy, but with Advance style gameplay. I wouldn't mind even seeing Shadow in Mania style, with a Chaos Control gimmick tied to the X button. While Studiopolis seems to fill in the gap for that zone based on Chemical Plant's cityscape, Press Garden seems to basically be Wood Zone but better, and Mirage Saloon is Dust Hill+, I still think there are a couple of rumored and unused zone concepts that could be put together to make one more new zone, maybe another three act zone even.
Well the sonic heroes thing became a mod now
Encore mode exists
@@2DCheese yes but you can't choose exactly the person you want at all times.
3:15 “time to escape!” Was designed for after you beat the final special stage, but was never coded in.
Shoot! I was really looking forward to a comeback for hyper!
Wait, Dunkey is an Easter egg?
Nah that's bullshit.
OMG NO WAY ITS REAL! THIS IS AMAZING! KNACK DLC CONFIRMED!!!
+Cheeseboy2251 Sonic Mania & Knack
TetraBitGaming A mastapeece

Tomo Saki they have the best mozzarella sticks.
Tomo Saki Doesn’t live up to the name then, huh? 😂😂😂
15:21 yeah it was in the cutsence
Maybe the "Time to Escape" was meant after you beat the act 2 boss on Titanic Monarch. Probably having a separate mine zone where you have a time limit to get out before it's too late.
Unlike in the final where either Tails, Sonic, or Knuckles, is there to get you out after the boss explodes.
Most likely, this was the case, just my theory onto this.
NIPPLES THE ENCHILADA IS RED!?!?
BLUE*
*orange
A fucking rainbow*
Mind = blown
Who is this... eggs man?
They can use these scrapped items and make "Sonic Mania 2". This time with Amy being playable.
TwoTailedSponge I know a guy named Destroying Sanity who would love that
*TwoTailedSponge* Kinda like s3/s3k?
I want my ice cap
Yeah that'd be awesome. Know how Mania Sonic was teleported to Forces? Well maybe while he was gone, more time passed in the Mania dimension, and maybe Heavy King defeated Eggman/Robotnik and took over The Eggman Empire, and then took over the world. Who knows? Maybe we'll see new Hard Boiled Heavies. Does anyone really want more Heavies? I do
Skylanderthekid Heavy King was defeated and presumably destroyed. More than likely, Robotnik will be the villain, hopefully with a new story.
Noone:
Not even one small soul:
Sonic: *yells*Im OuTtA hErE hEr3
5:44 not only that for the scrapped game it showed that amy was going to make a cameo
Kinda sad that you cant go hyper
I hope in the next sonic game your final boss will be an overpowered opponent and super sonic is not enough and the chaos emeralds turn into super emeralds or the super emeralds come out of nowhere and turn you into Hyper and the fight scene is totally different then
x Hasan I know Forces Sonic is actually defeated by Eggman's new team member, and is assumed dead. Of course Sonic is alive. In cutscene death, only Mephiles the Dark is allowed to kill Sonic in a cutscene, and that was in Sonic 06, that was rushed, so that's why it's bad. Sonic 06 also never happened, so I dunno why I'm saying all this.
I think super and hyper are overrated/overpowered. I like regular sonic
So basically just like Nazo Unleashed?
So hyper was originally in the game.
Why did you cut it DAMNIT??!!
I thought that too. If this was meant to be like the originals (The best era) why did they cut the whole Going rainbow coloured and op af. Probably scared of seizures but just pull the fanmade road and make him silver.
Coming back to this, the "Act 3" title card could've also meant that there would've been different zones entirely. A good example of a zone that has 3 acts is Metropolis Zone from Sonic 2. With the act 3 title card being scrapped, many other zones could've been scrapped alongside it.
From what I remember, Scrap Brain also had 3 acts in the original Sonic game. Could be wrong on that one.
Bru all zones in sonic 1 except final zone had 3 acts
13:14 Yeah, it's just Robotnik. Have you PLAYED Oil Ocean Act 2 yet?!
*sees dunkey Easter egg*
That can't be true!
*does it*
😳
i though it wasnt gonna work either
boy was i wrong
+Bottemiller Postings I know right xD
Bottemiller Postings ITS A MASTAPEECE
Bottemiller Postings Update removed it.
I tried on switch the donkey easter egg it didn't work
Egg reverie pinch mode can actually be found in game in the d.a. garden sound test.
+Avery Benjamin yes
speaking of the Egg reverie pinch mode, the theme is just a unused version of the egg reverie theme
Yep
TetraBitGaming Was twas ttgg
1:51 I KNEW THAT THEME WAS UNUSED!!!!!! Finally somebody said it. (It's in the level select as Music 2A)
7:27 - Mastapeece!
1:40 You can also access it in D.A Garden
The love tester was used for points when matched with the right character, like tails with sonic and the capsule like boss is eggjanken, a Alex Kidd like boss.
The ink and machine were color changers for the characters form a choice of pink,gold,cyan with the machine cleaning the ink color off per machine.
Your welcome
Btw I got this info somewhere else The channel name is codenamegamma
Also if u want more questions, just reply and I'll answer as soon as possible
okay
vCAT Nation was hyper canned
5:35 Rock, paper, scissors in the bossfight could be a reference to Alex Kidd games, the first Sega mascot. First Alex Kidd game used Rock, Paper, Scissors as its boss fights.
Time To Escape probably makes sense if it was for the UFO levels, showing the UFO escaping you when time runs out.
14:28 who else thought they were pokeballs
that tail's animation where he dry himself is awesome, why was it cut :(
HYPER SONIC DLC COMFIRMED!!
HYPER SONIC IN SONIC MANIA 2 PIS 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😏
12:13 こんにちは、化学プラントゾーンの記憶。
(Hello, storage of chemical plant zone.)
P.S Storage in this case is the Zone's RAM or memory.
Welcome to the Salty Spatoon, how tough are you?
AntStar04 im tough as king boo =D
I beat sonic Mania.
On No Save.
(Yeah right...)
How tough am I? HOW TOUGH AM I? I beat Metropolis Zone in Sonic 2!
"Yeah, so?"
On an Ipod Touch.
"R-r-right this way, sir. Sorry to have kept you waiting."
I played Sonic 06 and beat it without dying in real life
"I completed Sonic the Hedgehog."
"So?"
"On the PS3."
"R-r-right this was, sir. I-I don't want any trouble, sir."
The genesis is probably for the intro, for stuff like, well, the intro cutscene can come out of the top of the cartridge port then have it start
Did I hear an 8-bit version of “Welcome to Station Square” (The Stationer Square theme of sonic adventure) near the end?
First explanation I’ve seen on the whole internet about the mysterious hidden symbols AL, BR, AH, S etc. Great work
14:40 not unused its where The tornado crasches (sorry for spelling errors)
every time u do dat caMERA moment say "Hey Guys welcome to TOTALLY BOUNDARY BREAK
That "unused" area in Mirage Saloon is actually the ground plane used for the crash landing in Mirage Saloon act 2 cutscene.
6:54 i think this thing was also in the old backround when sonic mania was still "sonic discovery"
That is correct
Gosh dang! I really want a Sonic Mania but uses scraped stuff!
what?
How would content get a scrape??
Goddammit Sega. Was it your idea to can the Hyper idea? They're so hot to bring back classic stages and stuff (The classic stages were Izuka's idea) yet they just want to leave Hyper Sonic in the dust
Fire Hedgehog The reason they removed him was because he was giving people seizures
ZABIAN NIEVES Hey man, it's not up to me. I was just saying why they didn't bring him back.
Or they could make his hyper form white like super sonic but white with all of hyper sonics abilities
@@Doctorrockbuster if hyper sonic was all white then it wouldn't be the true hyper sonic at all so
Hey guys im from da future and hes in sonic mania plus
1:57 you can listen to egg reverie pinch mode by going to the soundtrack and extras after you have collected enough metals
The blue sphere game is SO HARD. I got the plus game for my birthday a little bit ago
Theres actually an unused hyper sonic color pallete that was cut and apparently was deleted from the files, but they still left the hyper word
please bring back hyper sonic...
How would you get the Super Emeralds, though?
4:31
Tails’s expression though
"Pinch mode" is after the boss is defeated and it's not actually over. You play a harder mode of that boss... so maybe there would've been a hard mode.
Debug mode! I haven't heard about that for a long time!
Also should I get this game?
Zombies Gamer YES YOU SHOULD! IT'S THE BEST SONIC GAME IN THIS UNIVERSE!!!
Yee
Yes, I got this game about ten days ago and I'm still playing it. I mean, I want to play Mario + Rabbids, but I don't have a ton of extra money . . . so yes. It's 20 bucks. More than worth it. Fun. Play it. GO.
Okay thank you, for the switch or PC?
7:27 wait is that real or are you trying to trick me
Sans9898 it's real
+Sans9898 it's real my dude
the Y-Axis Loop is a gameplay mechanic that was used famously in Labyrinth Zone 2 and 3, Scrap Brain 2, Metropolis Zone 1-3, and Ice Cap 1. There's one section of level that actually uses this to force a pseudo-puzzle area, where if you take the wrong path, you have to go through the area again. The simple solution to this "puzzle" is to just hold down. You'll loop through this area once, and the second time you'll skate along the top of the rotating silver drum, which is where the path split is. Since this is abnormal behavior for these silver drums, this was likely added as an anti-frustration feature.
Those emerald-in-the-sphere-stage and super emerald/hyper/etc. graphics might not have anything to do with a planned hyper sonic mode, since a bunch of Sonic 3 stuff can be found in Sonic Mania's files. It could all just be random leftovers from that. Either placeholder sprites during development or a basis for updating those sprites to the Mania style (e.g the blue spheres themselves) just like the leftover Sonic 1 and 2 sprites.
16:36 oh no
Anyone want some barbecue Ecidina?
Yes, I don't know how to spell that.
D Mack Yeah, me ether
Naaklss
Lol no
14:00 Did you just call him dr. Arse? 😂
1:09 we’ve been hopping around squashing bugs eating chili dogs.
"But first, we need to talk about parallel universes"
That's it. "IM OUTTA HERE!"
"Left 4 Dead Game Over Theme Plays"
Sonic cd reference 4:45
11:38 I did some experimenting in press garden act 2 and it seems that if the character is sticking to a wall because of fastness, the sonic shoe will stop you from sticking
This lava pool was exuteted”
Encore mode cutscenes: Are you sure about that?
sega is just dangling hyper in all of our faces just out of reach!!
good job
(Ring ring ring ring) That mystic cave boss: *HËLLÕ* You: *LOSES RINGS, DIES ON THE LAST HIT AND RAGE QUITS*
its worth noting "pinch" is the title of songs in the sonic advance series to indicate the boss only has two or so more hits left until beaten, very likely the same thing with egg reverie's pinch track
Finally!
YAY
3:50 They are actually thinking of launching 'sonic 3 & knuckles' and 'sonic & knuckles' to IOS pretty soon if they get enough petitions.
that was years ago
It's too late now.
What about android?
We already had em@@bruhmoment3395
In lava reef act 1, the lava pit at the start is where the submarine lands in the cutscene when you enter the zone. Using debug mode skips these cutscenes, so I get why you didn’t know it existed.
Another thing I know is that there’s a part at the end of press garden act 1 that uses this weird loop thing, and is why I spent 4 minutes in that one area the first time I played that level.
I love your channel and your content your amazing keep it up
Thanks for watching!
TetraBitGaming sure thing bro
15:19
That lava pool is part of the transition from Oil Ocean. It's where the "Submarine" crashes when it arrives at lava reef. It isn't unused.
I'm pretty sure it was added around the Sonic Mania Plus update and this video was from way earlier so yeah...
5:41 there’s an L in the background
Luigi?
😂😂😂😂 Luigi in a sonic game
Where is it?
where
Bendy Tails I literally don’t know now that comment was made a year ago
Bruh that's a clock
Miitopian Life lol
POV: The word "GOT" bumps off.
Tails: Come on, I was saving that for the victory!
Yo! Tetra! I Had Seen That Unused Super Sonic Sprite In My Original Digital Sonic Mania Plus! Sorry, I have no footage though
WHY DOSE NOBODY MENTION THE UNUSDED SURFING SPRITE FROM THE HAPPY HEADGEHOG DAY VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DATSAWNIXGY i don't think that was unused
DATSAWNIXGY yeah what happened to it
DATSAWNIXGY doesnt sonic uses it in the Angel Island cutscene on the plain?
Buriki Daioh It looks similar but it's actually different.
DATSAWNIXGY IKR,that sprite is really curious considering how it is also an unused sprite from the original Sonic 1.
15:05 Oh No
Also: in Titanic Monarch (don't remember what act), just like in Metal Sonic fight, SEGA wanted to make a 3D background, but was scrapped for some reason
tetra: now this contains spoilers :c. me: has all accounts completed and all chaos emeralds. also me: dang, spoilers
So parallel universes can appear in a non mario game
But first you need to build up speed for 5 hours!
Gas Giant *12 hours
Damn, I forgot that detail, either way, you need lots of speed, you know what they say, Gotta go Fast!
i really want to play a 700 blue sphere stage like that
Dr. Polaris Easiest Blue Sphere stage ever. Just trace on the edges by walking, then all the remaining Blue Spheres are gone. I think they made that Blue Sphere Stage as a test subject for that spheres turning into Rings mechanic, and forgot to remove it.
I wish they added a feature where if you activate sonic CD ability for sonic, if you wait 3 minutes he jumps off. It would be a cool addition in my opinion
The reason why Flying Fortress is invisible when skipping the transition objects is because it actually has too sets of sprites, one for inside, one for outside, this is because the inside has new ground tile textures that need to be loaded via transitions and if you dont touch the transitions they cant load their textures and will obviously become texture less, to explain how the backgrounds still show is because that file is loaded regardless of transitions.
It's called flying battery
