Looking at Sonic Mania game files

so i was bored and i extracted sonic mania files and started to look at them, first at character sprites
as i saw in the game
since i played with super sonic
i realized the game uses something like mega drive, if you make the game loads normal sonic sprites when you turn into super sonic, even with the normal sprites the color palette will be super sonic, the game does like genesis color limitation, and when i looked at super sonic sprites, BAM the sprites are blue.

all the game musics are in OGG so you could easily replace them, thats fun >: )

all the game's text are just TXT files, i could easily edit the credits and make funny things
do you know the game's texts? like "delete save game?" and such? i found them, it seems all of them are just TXT too, and there are things like "TEST STRING THIS FEATURE IS NOT\YET IMPLEMENTED." and there is still Xbox and Switch text on it

i also looked at the title screen sprites, and for my surprise there is something interesting on it, there is a name "discovery" on it, but it doesn't appear in game, so searching a few months ago there was something saying that the game's provisonal name was "sonic discovery" and there are still things from it left in the game, like the name!

i also found another interesting thing, sonic mania DEMO files are still in the game, the demo from those events that had in certain places where people played a demo with green hill and studiopolis zone, sprites and bin file from the demo stage select are still in the game.

thats what i found for now, i'm lazy to search more cuz i'm tired, its late :P

edit:
lol looking more i found giant ring sprites, the game uses a 3D model for the giant ring but there is also an unused sprite for it

The Super Sonic sprites being blue by default does explain why the Super Sonic glitch doesn't change colours.

BTW, what did you use to extract data?
 
The fact that the game pallete colors behaves like the one from the genesis is because the visuals were meant to resemble the ones from the genesis/saturn, so i can guess the super blue sonic thingy was done on porpuse just to resemble the old genesis days.

Also, for anyone wondering, the game's music files has been released already, although the ogg files doesnt have proper loop points set to them. If you search well enough there are custom loops for the files out there.
