Spin Dashes can also be peformed by pressing any button while crouching with. ,, ,, and all share the same functionality, causing Sonic to jump, Tails to stop moving and, if close enough, Sonic to pick up Tails (and throw him). At this stage of development there are only two meaningful Attractions on offer, neither of which are explicitly named and are not seen in Chaotix.Īttractions are side-scrolling levels similar to those seen in previous Sonic games, and see the player, controlling Sonic, attempt to navigate the map with partner Tails, who is only partially controllable in single player. Much like Chaotix, Crackers calls its levels 'Attractions' (as opposed to prior Sonic outings which opt to call them 'Acts' and 'Zones'). > World 2 Attraction -> Field 1 -> World 1 Attraction -> Field 2 ->. Sonic Crackers begins at what is listed as World 2, Attraction 4, and loops through a never-ending pattern:

In total this would mean 37 Attractions, 7 Fields and 1 Special Stage are catered for, but the vast majority of level slots do not function as intended. Each World lists five 'Attractions' and one 'Field', and each Premium is paired with one Attraction and one Field. Many levels appear to have been planned, split up into seven 'Worlds', two 'Premiums' and a Special Stage. There are four playable levels in Sonic Crackers, which are accessible either by selecting the '1P START' or '2P START' options on the title screen, or by using the 'SELECT' menu. Translation difficulties with 'r' and 'l' could mean the title was meant to be Sonic Clackers, named after the toy, which consists of two balls connected by string. It has been suggested that the title may have been a mis-romanisation of the katakana 'ソニッククラッカーズ'. Graphics from a later build of Sonic Crackers were also found in a June 1994 prototype build of Yuu Yuu Hakusho: Makyou Toitsusen. While there was initial speculation that its claimed '19940401' build date signified an April Fool's joke, the Sonic Crackers name was later found in 1207 prototype of Chaotix. The full story behind Sonic Crackers is not known, however it is suspected to have been created as a pitch within the company to Sega executives, which was later picked up and turned into Chaotix.

It sees the player controlling Sonic the Hedgehog and Miles 'Tails' Prower tied together, using each other's momentum to navigate through stages. Sonic Crackers (referred to as Sonic Studium in the ROM header) is an early prototype build of what would become the Sega 32X video game Chaotix.
