Flying Battery Zone

Act	November 3	Final	Sonic & Knuckles Collection
ACT1
ACT2

Flying Battery Zone is in a very preliminary state, lacking animated tiles and many objects.

November 3rd	Level Select Icon

• The background is different, and matches the design seen in the zone's unused level icon. Oddly, the palette in the icon is a bit more blue. It additionally always uses the indoor background even in outdoor sections, and features "EGG" capsules not present in the final.
• The background isn't set to loop and as a result, the background becomes more broken as you progress.
• The Act 1 boss position matches that with Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Alone and Sonic 3C 0408.
• Act 2's layout is even less complete.
• The Barrier Eggman boss isn't in the level. Its object does exist within the data, though. The boss arena also exists, although the boss itself locks the screen much higher for some reason, possibly leftover from an earlier layout.
• Act 2's boss position matches that with Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Alone.
• Act transitions are once again not present.
• There are color palette cycles listed for both Acts, but they are empty. Perhaps the lights in the background could have been intended to animate.

Unused Chunks

To do: There is a lot of unused chunks left. Chunks that were altered in 0408 onward.

The unused background chunks combined.

• 

  Meant for the background, this chunk is intended to combine with FD, F9, and F4. ID F3.
