This little speck's graphics and sprite mappings appear between two frames of Tails' "playing in the dirt" idle animation, so it may have been meant to appear as part of it the animation has Tails mime throwing something over his shoulder, and this might have been meant to be the thrown object. It's not terribly useful since no code calls it in the final game, and the error message is only legible if an ASCII font already happens to be loaded to VRAM $2400. When run, it tries to print the text "ERROR" to the screen, waits for three seconds, then resets the game. The game contains a basic error handler routine, nearly identical to the ones in other Aspect Sonic games, at ROM 0x70. It might have been used to set the maximum flight time, or to view Tails' three flight animations.
This text was part of a debug menu at some point, but all that's left is the tilemap. Note that this breaks some other functions like the Continue option, so don't try to do a full playthrough on it or something. To run it, simply choose "New Game" on the title screen. This patch restores the level select to more-or-less working order. File: tailsadv_levelselect_patch.zip ( info)
