Moving Platforms

Moves up and down while moving to the left. They come in two variations: a pair and a group of four, all of which do the same thing (though in the latter, the top row is flipped vertically). While technically used in the Futures, these variants for the Present and Past do not appear anywhere in their respective time zones.

Conveyor Belt Platforms

Conveyor belt platforms for the Past. While these platforms exist in the Present and Futures, they do not appear anywhere in the Past at all, so these Past variants are never seen.

Swinging Conveyor Belt

A swinging conveyor belt platform for the Past. Like the platforms above, this object exists in the Present and Futures, but this unique Past variant doesn't appear anywhere.

"CXX" Signatures#

Near the end of Quartz Quadrant Zone 1 Past, there is a small, inaccessible room with glitched collision and the letters "CX" in the background made from shadowed yet used tiles. This is most likely the signature of Masato Nishimura (Majin), graphic designer of Quartz Quadrant, as "CXX" is a nickname Nishimura is occasionally credited under, such as the Sonic CD team's best times screen and the game Dark Wizard, where he is credited as "CXXMAJIN".

At the first tube section of Quartz Quadrant Zone 1 Present, along the top path, another instance of the signature which uses the full CXX name can be seen while rolling through the tube.

Near the top-left of Quartz Quadrant 2 Present, there is another signature which uses the full CXX name.

Near the beginning of Quartz Quadrant Zone 2 Present, along the bottom path, yet another two instances of the signature featuring the full CXX name can be seen back to back.

Near the end of Quartz Quadrant Zone 2 Present, another instance of the signature which uses the full CXX name can be seen, although it's noticeably cut off.
