Trivia / Sonic 2006 Legacy Of Solaris

• What Could Have Been: As a long-running mod that many people have worked on, there were many ideas implemented and scrapped at one point or another. The GitHub allows you to download old versions of the mod, so many changes can be seen in real time.
  • Every character has had stages added, removed, or drastically altered in the mod's lifetime.
  • For much of the mod's development lifetime, a beta version of the results theme was used instead of the retail version. Final builds restored the retail version. In a similar vein, early builds of the mod used the E3 HUD style, before the retail version was restored later on.
  • Older builds of Legacy of Solaris gave Mephiles a complete story, similar to other amigos in the mod, whereas in the final builds, he's only playable in two of Silver's extra stages.
  • Amy had several different movesets. Early builds of the mod mostly had her vanilla moveset with an increased radius and a triple jump, before it was later swapped out to be a mixture of Sonic and Blaze's moveset, before finally coming back to a heavily edited version of her original moveset. She also originally only had two story stages (Dusty Desert and White Acropolis) and no extra stages until much later.
