 There was originally going to be a sound test feature in the game,  with Sonic appearing as the lead singer in a rock band. This was,  understandably, not included in the final product. The other  characters created for the band were Max the Monkey, Mach the  Rabbit, Sharps the Chicken and Vector the Crocodile. None made it  off the drawing board except for Vector, who four years later earned  a starring role in Chaotix (1995) (VG).
