This area was eventually used, with some changes, for the DLC's Act 3. Beyond it is a fairly large stretch of level, leading up to the Gaia Temple.

Eventually, you will reach a pit, which is impassable without objects to bridge the gap. There are, among other things, two pillars you can knock down, which don't appear elsewhere. There is a huge chunk of level which is empty. Bring water barrels to the bottom of the chasm, stack them, and do an uppercut-grab to go on. It's empty, but you can open the sealed door from the other side. By jumping onto it from a well-positioned water barrel and using the uppercut, followed by the midair Y + Y + A combo, you can fall into an unused canyon area. This area was eventually used, with some changes, for the DLC's Act 3.Īfter the Goal Ring in Arid Sands' main Night stage, there is a sealed door. These switches are mostly functional (the kill plane and platforms rise), but the actual water graphics remain in place. There is a tree which can be knocked down and used as a bridge, floating platforms, and switches that raise the water level. If the room is accessed from the ghost mission, the door will be open, and the room will contain objects. Clipping through using a glitch reveals an empty chamber. Strangely, they were later used in modified forms in the Adventure Pack DLC.Ī closed door is present in the room at the end of Jungle Joyride Act 1 Night.

These sections of the stages were abandoned by changes in the level design, but can still be found through breaking the game. Right now there doesn't seem to be any way to implement it and have it work as intended but that could change in the future.

In the archive named ActionCommon.ar.00 there is a image called ui_ps1_e_gauge1.dds with what looks to be some early Werehog UI seen in a few preview images of the game. The relevant icon was moved downward in the final image. It is mostly the same, but the icons were changed completely between versions, and the early version's screenshot of the university is closer to the top than in the final due to an icon of Pickle in the way. In addition to this, system.csb and now_loading.dds are also present - the former being a copy of the same file from Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) and the latter being a 1280x720 black rectangle.Įarly Spagonia Hub Preview TownSample.dds (early)Īlso present in the 'Loading' folder is an early version of the hub world preview for Spagonia. Honestly, we need more games with this kind of endgame climax, except maybe minus the fake difficulty bit - I kinda miss the feeling of making it to the last level of a game and actually feeling like I'm gonna be in for a goddamned nightmare of a level, too many games these days pussy out at that stage and end up under-delivering.ĭark Gaia is still an immensely shit boss though.Finally, the actual UI elements themselves - ui_mm_parts1.dds strangely has (early) PlayStation button icons, even though this is the 360 version. 'Hey guys, did you hear Eggman made Eggmanland into his own country? And that it's harder than dodging rain in a fucking cyclone?' or something along those lines was a pretty common thing to see, and just the mere mention of the name carries an aura of intimidation that even Scrap Brain can't compare to.

I mean, you should've seen the buzz about that level shortly after release. Eggman has a nation to himself in order to build that place that he's been trying to for the better part of, oh say, a decade? It's practically his fucking magnum opus, pretty much his dream project come true, and it wouldn't feel right if it were anything but sadistically, masochistically difficult.Īnd just in achieving that much, it manages to be the single most memorable level in the entire game, regardless of whether or not in a good way. Maybe it's wrong to think this way, but I love Eggmanland because of the ridiculous (even if fake) difficulty.
