Watch on YouTubestg0005 is loaded by all versions of the game during the Sky Troops intro in-game cutscene (event4201_sceneA). In most versions of the game, the stage is actually empty. In the GameCube version, the developers forgot to remove the original event creation stage. You can briefly see some of the test stage in the background during the event.

The stage consists of a grid. Underneath the grid there are some color bars. There is collision on this stage, with one simple flat plane for the grid and the color bars. It is very likely the stage was used as a base when creating the event scenes in the game.

Watch on YouTubestg9900 is found only in the GameCube version and contains several oddities:

• The level uses various meshes from Sonic Heroes.
• Three unused background textures are present, with the latter two being unchanged from Sonic Heroes (even their filenames weren't changed)!

• Collision is only available for the first half, and doesn't even match the stage remotely. This is also the only file to use the name 9900, while other files use 0000.

An alternative video: Watch on YouTube

• stg9900 with original BDT (chunk layering) and original skybox.
• Collision was generated, not originally left in the files. The music and objects are not found in the original, were added for demo purposes.
