Hell no.

Well, the Sleeping Egg Zone is the third stage of the game and, for some reason, it uses several elements from the Mecha Green Hill Zone, both graphically and in terms of layout, probably being the place where the stage was originally made.

Palette Differences#

Interestingly, the palette used here appears to be a much earlier version of Mecha Green Hill Zone! The background here has a more pinkish palette, which makes it much more similar to the orange palette used in the final version. Furthermore, the grass is a bit more yellowish.

General Differences#

  • Starting position seems off. You start in midair in all Acts.
  • No objects are implemented.

Act 1 & 2#

May 17, 1993

Mecha Green Hill Zone Act 3

  • The layout data for Act 1 and Act 2 is technically a duplicate of Act 3 from Mecha Green Hill Zone, however, for some reason, its data is loaded diagonally, resulting in a very strange appearance of the stage.

Act 3#

  • Act 3 is the same as the previous two acts, but here it is loaded correctly!
  • At the end of Act 3, the screen fades to white and Sleeping Egg's boss can be fought. The boss has not been altered to account for the Game Gear's smaller resolution, and thus frequently goes offscreen.
