Unused Animations#
Zeena#
Zeena has an unused animation where she is losing her balance.
Unused Music#
sys_jingle_release_ng#
A rather melancholy-sounding item fanfare is included alongside the other four variants, located in sound/se_system_worldmap.acb, with the internal filename sys_jingle_release_ng. The "ng" is a common abbreviation for "no good".
Unused Eggman Voice Lines#

Unused Objects#
Found in CommonObject. Most objects seem to be leftovers from Sonic Generations and Sonic Colors. They use the older version of the .model format seen in Sonic Unleashed and Generations, and all of which have the "_HD" suffix seen primarily in Generations.

Unused Text#
You can use the SPIN DASH to run along
the surface of the water without
falling in.While this is possible in Windy Hill Act 2, on the puddle near the start (the only time Sonic interacts with water in his regular form), this still doesn't appear.
Unused Color Powers#
There is unused data present in the game files for the Blue Cube and Pink Spikes Color Powers, as well as an unused Snake transformation.
Internal Project Name#
The game's internal project name is Sonic2013, according to paths in the executable. This is a continuation of the Sonic Colors naming scheme, as both games were developed by the same team.
Oddities#
Sonic Model Size#
For some reason, Sonic's model was downsized to be around the same height as Classic Sonic from Generations, and his quills were shortened. Based on this, some concept art, and how the game is inspired by the Genesis-era titles, it's possible that, at some point in development, Classic Sonic was meant to be in the game in some form.
Sonic Colors Source Paths#
Lost World was built on the Sonic Colors codebase, and many source paths mention "Sonic2010", the internal name of Sonic Colors.
testmission.lua#
A LUA script can be found in the root of the game's directory, complete with an author name and what seems to be some developer notes and internal names for the wisps: "drill", which is one of the three internal names for the yellow drill wisp ("spin", "drill", and "screw"); "rodeo", referring to the purple frenzy wisp; "astro", for the green hover wisp; and "puzzle" for the blue cube wisp. Reportedly, the pink spike, purple frenzy and blue cube wisps were to be featured in Lost World, but were cut from the final game.

Missing Reward#
After completing all missions, Omochao informs the player that they have earned a reward, but nothing happens. In the PC version, this was changed to a simple congratulatory message that doesn't allude to any award.
Broken Digital Manual#
The game's digital manual is filled with strange issues that vary depending on the language.
In the English version:
- The "Game Screen" section is duplicated on pg.10-11, and "Circus" on pg.16-17.
- The "Color Powers" page is completely missing, although it's supposed to be pg.15 according to links. Pg.15 is instead "Advanced Actions".
In the Spanish and French versions:
- The "Color Powers" page does exist, but it's on pg.16, not 15. The erroneous link to it remains.
