Sand Shower/Winter Zone

Sand Shower Zone is the name given to a level which, if it was implemented, could have been the first desert level in a Sonic game. Only one image of this zone exists (which was later revealed to have been a mock-up), and shows a Gator badnik - whose sprites only appear in the Nick Arcade and Simon Wai prototypes - as one of the enemies, although it is unknown whether the Gator was intended to appear in that zone, due to the image's status as a mock-up. A layout for Sand Shower was completed before the zone's removal, and featured both above and underground sections. However, said layout was never programmed into the game before being scrapped.
