Charmy: Don't Bug Me!
One Ring Challenge 2

Two Egg Fighters were meant to be seen for background scenery next to fountain by Spagonia University. One of them can be spawned in-game normally, that being in "One Ring Challenge 2" where it walks around back and fourth.

Dash Rings 1-2-3

A singular Goal Post can be found at the very end of the stage. While it also shows up in the other challenge acts, the image that is shown is just a singular with no legitimate way to interact with it in-game or has more than one placed next to it.

Act 2#

Endless Boost and Vector: Pick up the Beat have two glass objects leftover from the original stage. These are found just before where the 2D section would be in the main stage.

Unused Layouts#

Beyond the playing area, both at the clock tower and past the Goal Post, the stage has an entire level layout that can never be seen in-game. These layouts suggest an earlier version of it. The images below are what is not seen in the video, whether it cannot be accessed in normal gameplay or (mainly the clock tower) the camera does not function.

Barrel Room#

These images can be found in the barrel room in the main playing area, either leftover from the original stage or misplaced.

The Egg Fighter that are placed, where they would be seen pushing the giant barrels at the player in the main stage, are still present here.

Red Star Rings#

There are three red star rings that are found in this stage, but cannot be loaded in normal gameplay. They can be viewed in a level editor, where two of them are the same as final (both of them at the clock tower). The very first one however is placed near the beginning of the stage, where the player would've had to somehow jump to obtain the item. This placement was removed in the final

Barrel Ring Bonus#

A singular dash panel is placed under the stage, just before the playing area.

Rooftop Rail Grind#

There is a set of five rings just near where the Challenge Act starts, but is under the ground for some reason.

Endless Boost#

Vector's Stage#

Endless Boost and Vector: Pick up the Beat use the same packed files, as such his arena is loaded in. However, the entire area is despawned when passing through it. However, by hacking the game's camera near the end of the level, his stage (with piano and microphone) will spawn.

Leftover Objects#

Some of the stage objects leftover from the main stage, including the six dash panels at Spagonia University, can still be found here. There is major cleanup that was done, as most of them do not exist in Vector: Pick up the Beat.
