Proto:Sonic Adventure 2 (Dreamcast)/The Trial/Unused Content
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
This is a sub-page of Proto:Sonic Adventure 2 (Dreamcast)/The Trial.
While most of these are used in the final, they go completely unused in this build, though there are some straight up unused ones.
Contents
Leftover Data
- Examining 1ST_READ.BIN reveals that early animation data, start and end positions for half of the stages, and placeholder ranking information for Mission 1 exist within the game. Every main character (Sonic, Shadow, Mech Tails, Mech Eggman, Knuckles, Rouge, Tails, Eggman) has an animation list dedicated to them, but the internal IDs for said animations and their character models are different.
- The internal stage list referenced by the characters' positioning data and ranking information reaches up to ID 28 (Pyramid Cave). Notably, Lost Colony's stage ID - 27 - is not referenced in either the placeholder ranking information or in Mech Eggman's start/end position values. Knuckles also references ID 53 in his positioning data, which is the stage ID for King Boom Boo in the Dreamcast version.
- Ranking information for each stage aside from City Escape lists the following values:
| Rank | Score |
|---|---|
| D Rank | 2,000 |
| C Rank | 5,000 |
| B Rank | 10,000 |
| A Rank | 15,000 |
- Egg Quarters and Pyramid Cave do not have placeholder ranking information, despite being referenced in Rouge and Sonic's positioning information, respectively.
Unused Graphics
Seeing as this demo is only a sliver of the final, there are bound to be unused graphics. Most of these are used in the final, but are only in the demo because they're grouped with textures that are needed for the demo.
City Escape Map
Available as a simple bitmap image file on the ROM is a map of City Escape. This map is used for geometry culling when entering specified areas of the level, a feature that is present in all versions of the game.
Capsule Graphics
Various icons for item boxes from other stages that aren't used in the demo.
This one is unused in both the demo and the final though.
Two-Player Win Indicator
The graphics that display on the bottom of each player's screen during two-player are on the ROM. 2 Player Mode exists but can't be accessed normally. The second graphic is slightly transparent, so a black background was added for visibility.
Other Unused Graphics
 | To do: See what's here. |
There are more textures used on things outside of the City Escape stage, including the Mystic Melody door, the hint computer for Knuckles/Rouge stages, and the textures for an upgrade point.
Unused Text
Early Level and Boss List
An unreferenced stage list can be found in TEXT_E.PRS and TEXT_J.PRS:
BASIC TEST KNUCKLES TEST SONIC TEST GREEN FOREST WHITE JUNGLE PUMPKIN HILL SKY RAIL AQUATIC MINE SECURITY HALL PRISON LANE METAL HARBOR IRON GATE WEAPONS BED CITY ESCAPE RADICAL HIGHWAY WEAPONS BED 2P WILD CANYON MISSION STREET DRY LAGOON SONIC VS SHADOW TAILS VS EGGMAN SAND OCEAN CRAZY GADGET HIDDEN BASE ETERNAL ENGINE DEATH CHAMBER EGG QUARTER LOST COLONY PYRAMID CAVE NO NAME BIG FOOT HOT SHOT FRYING DOG King Boom Boo GOLEM(an assumed name) THE BIOHAZARD(an assumed name) CART EXTRA GAME:CART CHAO GARDEN
This remains in the final, unused, but there are some differences to note:
- Wild Canyon is listed without the "2P" suffix.
- In the final, Weapons Bed 2P is just listed as Weapons Bed again.
- Egg Quarters is listed as Egg Quarter.
- Tails vs. Eggman 2 lacks an entry, suggesting it hadn't been implemented at this point.
Mission Entries
Although City Escape's first mission is normally the only seen mission entry, other missions have entries in MISSIONE.PRS; seems like none of the actual entries (including the used one) were ready yet since they are all just <NO MISSION> when English is the set language.
Mission text exists for the Japanese language setting in MISSIONJ.PRS and is in a more complete state, though aspects such as certain time limits for the available Mission 4 strings are different from the final version. The mission text list contains space for 250 entries, but the last filled entry in the file is the 145th, which corresponds to Pyramid Cave's Mission 5 text. Mission text that would correspond to the Kart levels and Crazy Gadget's second mission do not exist in this file.
