Unused Audio

This is a sub-page of Sonic Championship.

Unused Music#

A number of themes exist in the game and can even be played in the sound test present in both the test menu and in the Options menu in Sonic Gems Collection, but never end up used during actual gameplay. It should be noted that the PSN/Xbox Live Arcade releases of the game offers the capacity to replace the main menu theme with any track from the game, and as such these tracks are unused in any variant predating them.

Sd_game_bgm_00#

Arcade	Soundtrack

A second arrangement of the character select screen, which never ends up used in the actual game because the first version is used. The port in Sonic Gems Collection uses this as the Option theme.

Sd_game_bgm_06#

Arcade	Soundtrack

A mysterious track which is given the title of "Sunset Town" on the game's OST, a stage which doesn't even exist in the final product. Remixed versions of this song later found use in Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice.

Sd_game_bgm_0e#

Present in the test menu's sound test, this track proves very interesting in that it isn't featured on the OST CD, and it is unknown how it would've been used if properly implemented.

Sd_game_bgm_0f#

Arcade	Soundtrack

This track, christened "Hurry Up" by the OST, also attributes it to the Death Egg's Hangar level... which does exist unlike Sunset Town (it's the final boss location), but the battle against Eggman uses a completely different track ("North Wind", or more precisely the Sonic VS. Knuckles theme). The track is still listed in a used list of songs used in order for single-player mode. The song was to come after the final boss, but since there is no stage after the final boss, this renders the music unused. This could mean the value for the "North Wind" track was simply inserted by accident which caused the song to go unused. It may also be that what was set as the final boss stage in the final game was meant to proceed another fight in the arcade ladder which ended up getting cut.

Bizarrely, this track would finally end up used in the Death Egg DLC level, Egg Hangar from Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, where it's played in the pre-race cinematic.

Given that the game features little-to-no voice clips at all, these clips' presence here is curious. Purpose unknown, may have been early damage sounds.
