Orange Light Frame#

This unused object has no leftover model, texture, game behavior, nor setid.bin reference.

GUN Soldiers in Air Fleet#

Whenever GUN Soldiers appear in-game, they make several quotes relating to the stage they're currently in. However, it seems like they were planned to be appear in Air Fleet as well, as they mention protecting the President's escape pod. In the final, they never show up.

Losing Rings#

Every character except for Maria, Omega and Vector have hints explaining that Shadow he will lose 10 Rings if he gets hit, or lose a life when having none. Similar hints were used in the E3 Demo for Sonic, Doom’s Eye and Eggman, however their dialogue was different and was also unvoiced.

Filename	Character	Transcript

Charging the Gauge#

Characters explaining how to use Chaos Control (or Chaos Blast in the case of Doom's Eye) during boss battles.

Filename	Character	Transcript	Notes
all02_h05_sd	Shadow	*The space-time powers of Chaos Control should let me stop this thing from moving!*	Shadow never gives out any hints during boss fights, as all bosses contain one partner to guide and assist Shadow, in which the partner is usually the one gives hints. The only boss fight Shadow fights without partners on his side is Devil Doom, although the other characters tips can still be heard.
all02_h05_sn	Sonic	*Charge your gauge by attacking Eggman, then use Chaos Control!*	Sonic isn't present in any of Eggman's boss fights in the final.
all02_h05_bd	Doom’s Eye	*Attack the enemy to awaken the dark power within you, and then unleash Chaos Blast to destroy everything!*
all02_h05_rg	Rouge	*Keep hitting him to charge up your gauge, and then use Chaos Control to alter the flow of time.*
all02_h05_kn	Knuckles	*Charge up your gauge by hitting him, and then you can use Chaos Control to alter the flow of time.*
all02_h05_am	Amy	*Keep hitting Eggman until your gauge is full. Then you can use Chaos Control.*
all02_h05_om	Omega	*Charge the Hero Gauge. Utilize Chaos Control to activate temporal slowdown.*
all02_h05_es	Espio	*Charge up your gauge and use the power of justice to unleash Chaos Control to slow the flow of time.*
all02_h05_vc	Vector	*If you charge up your gauge, then the power of Chaos Control should freeze the enemy in its tracks!*

Westopolis#

Character	Transcript	Notes
Sonic	*I can't believe those creatures are doing this...*
Doom's Eye	*Those human fools! They'll surrender the Chaos Emerald soon enough...*
Sonic	*Those aliens may think they're tough by using those lasers, but we'll have the last laugh!*
Doom's Eye	*Our laser barrage has those humans on their knees! Victory is ours!*
	*Yes, Shadow... the Chaos Emerald is our holy artifact stone...*	Meant to play when approaching the cage with the Chaos Emerald inside it, which can't be heard as Doom's Eye isn't present before this area. These lines can still be triggered by specifically avoiding the triggers and backtracking, as seen in this video. 1
	*Shadow, those stones grant ultimate power to those who bear it.*
	*Our soldiers are primed to take this area. Help them destroy those humans!*

		*GUN's blocked the road! Just ignore them! Put the pedal to the metal and bust on through!*
