Proto:Knuckles' Chaotix

Jump to navigation Jump to search

This page details one or more prototype versions of Knuckles' Chaotix.

Hmmm...
To do:
  • Check the remaining prototypes for any notable differences. This thread should be a very useful starting point.
  • The 1207, 1227 and 1229 sub-pages are in need of some serious clean-up (i.e., they suck).

A huge number of prototypes for Knuckles' Chaotix were released on February 23, 2008 by drx as part of his massive Sega Archives release. These largely seem to be late in development as a result of being part of Sega's Quality Assurance BBS archives.

The game was originally developed on the Genesis, switching to the 32X by December 1994. According to Sega of America CEO Tom Kalinske, Chaotix was at one point developed for the Sega Saturn as a mainline Sonic title; if so, nothing from that period of development is known to exist.

Genesis Era

Sonic Crackers
Dated April 1, 1994. Before there was Chaotix, there was Crackers. Yum!

Some leftover data from a later build of Crackers was found in a prototype build of Yuu Yuu Hakusho: Makyou Toitsusen, dated June 1994.

32X Era

The Crackers name is known to have carried over when development shifted to the 32X, as the 1207 Chaotix build has an unused graphic reading "SONIC CRACKERS S32X".
