I've re-ripped this sheet as the original palette was so non-standard, I couldn't manually adjust the color to the correct scheme.

The tables that I usually place on sheets are omitted because there's no need to outweigh the content with them. Look on the background sheets on the Nov. 3 Sonic 3 page for the values breakdown.

@Ton That's what I was talking about; in Japan, it was also used previously for Sonic 3.

This design reminds me of the Triple Trouble art.

I noticed during the livestream that if you move Sonic far enough past Knuckles during the 'cutscene', then Rad Red's palette changes to the blue variant, which is also seen in the final by disabling layers and going frame by frame.

But this version of Knuckles much better matches the later Chaotix and Mania styles, and he feels a lot more menacing than his eventual trickster status in 3K. It'd have been nice to see more of him in this style.

He. Is. BEAUTIFUL!
The amount of detail in these sprites blows the final version out of the water!! The way the hair is blown in the wind, and stuff like the forehead, makes these sprites incredibly expressive and cool. And at last, we have Sonic 2-styled Knuckles, too!

If you put them in a GIF, it looks way better, btw:

I wonder how a full sheet of this design would look like

Looks a lot more like that one bizarre piece of old artwork.

I think they're ugly, but also stylistically fitting with the Sonic 2 sprites this prototype used.
