Now you may think I am crazy for saying this, but a really excellent tool to have when creating any kind of tilesets is the Super Mario World level editor Lunar Magic. Why? I find that it has a really amazing 16x16 mappings creator. This is imperative for making good tilesets the old fashioned way, like I am with this set. You get to control tile flip and palette for each 8x8 tile in the mapping (just like with any SNES/Genesis game, including Sonic!) and arrange them however you want.
I'm using it now to build 16x16 mappings for my tileset, so I can then craft 32x32 mappings or larger. Here's what I have so far for the loop, which is a "beautiful hell" in the 8x8 tiles:

Still a WIP, still off limits for use
And before anyone from SMW Central asks, this won't be released as an ExGFX set. I'm just using Lunar Magic as a mappings creator.
EDIT: Map16 is created!

Still off limits for use, but I'm in the final stretch~
