Anyone know what this is?

[Chad]

I was looking around Castle Eggman 2 and found this. Anyone have an explanation (this was found in the web version, v2.2.4)?

It definitely wasn't accessible without devmode (you need noclip and god). Here's a screenshot of the map to better help people find it.

Maybe is a Easter Egg? Like the one on Tecno Hill act 1 or ERZ act 2

What if it's the skybox?

Hmm... IDK. Looks like a haunted castle. I wonder how I never saw this.

It's not in the current PC version?

Also it does look like Hang Castle

I don"t know, either. I've been through the zone multiple times before. Maybe it was because I was strictly looking for hidden stuff, in fact, I did find a bunch of other stuff I may post about later.

It kind of does. Maybe it was an easter egg to Sonic Heroes.

Maybe it's the new easter egg 2.2.9 added. Maybe it's now accessible normally in 2.2.9, but I'm not sure.

That's... literally just the skybox, lol.

Its the testing area for the skybox, You can find it in Castle Eggman 1 as well. In the 2.1 version of cez1 you can even find the rotating storm test room out of bounds.

 

[lnferno]

"testing area" is sorta inaccurate in this case. That's literally just the level geometry for the skybox, lol.

 

[Just Silus!]

That is the CEZ skybox, lol.

I never realized that skyboxes are just smaller areas set to the side of the level

It's like that in old Valve games too, like Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2, etc.

Excuse me but isn't Robo Blast 2 based off the Doom Legacy engine? Because Source is derivated from Quake.

Yes, SRB2 is running on a heavily modified version of the Doom engine. Comparing to old Valve games, it would go something like this:
Doom > SRB2
Doom > Quake > GoldSrc > Source

Aaaaaand I just learned that Source Engine is a derivative of the Doom Engine

In case you wanted to look up for secrets or easter eggs more practically, loading the map file into Zone Builder its the best and most practical way to do it. Once you know the basic controls for moving yourself around the whole map plane, you can go anywhere and change anything from the maps. I'ts way better than doing it ingame with god, devmode's map, and noclip.
