Awesome! The Chaotix proto is probably what catches my eye the most; Sonic Crackers is my favorite genesis Sonic game, simply because how mysterious and unique it is. I really wish we could get more out of it. I mean, the level graphics weren't used in Chaotix, if I'm not mistaken. Dunno, it's just interesting to me.

The amount of effort you've put into investigating this is awesome, and I just wanted to thank you for that.

... I also wanted to thank you for giving me a reason not to rush through Apollo Justice on my DS when it comes out (Sonic 2 "Beta 3" and Sonic 3 beta on jEnesisDS 0.6 with sound? Ooooh yeah!).

I. CANNOT. WAIT.

Seriously, I am physically incapable of waiting. My brain will likely have exploded from severe anticipation build-up by the time these are released.

BMF has three hex editors open, three emulators open, and three notepads open. They remained open for an entire week.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to Sonic 3 and whatever may be in Sonic 2 (What could be left though?). Chaotix, I never really played it, so I wouldn't even know what's new.

More like tons of emulators...

I don't think BMF's one to poke though the Sonic ROMs to look for unused stuff (he reserves that for other games), especially when there's a whole community devoted to that kind of crap.

Also, there are other, non-Sonic prototypes in this batch, so, uh, holy shit.

I don't personally know; I just know reading something that he had hundreds of various prototypes and they weren't all for Sonic games.

"Remember, not all are Sonic protos. So don't imagine 100s of Sonic protos or something =P"

Well, there are some 24 Ecco protos. 19 of Ecco 2, 5 of Ecco Jr.

I don't have a clue besides that.

Still awesome. A proto of Sonic 3 is an amazing find for the community.

Oh, that explains why Dark Sea was in such an uproar! Haha, I forgot all about that.

(Okay, not an "uproar", but when the three active community members are in a frenzy, it must count for something)

Make that 5 Sonic 3 protos. Also 5 Sonic 2 and 13 Chaotix.

Are they all the same proto, or are they protos in several different stages of development?

I'm kinda thinking the former...

I really, really doubt he'd say he has xx protos when he really just has several copies of one.

If you actually read the linked thread, he's posted several screenshots demonstrating the changes between prototypes he has.

The only problem is that each one makes the rest a bit less interesting. You can only have so many things that are each incredibly revolutionary when they all come in a sequence.

I'm hoping for a Super Mario Bros. 1 or Super Mario World proto cart to surface myself.

Until I get my EearthBound 64 proto, I'm not happy. D:
Although, I have to admit this is a neat find.

My absolute dream would be Sim City NES, and Marble Madness II: Marble Man.
