Extra sprite palettes

Do the two extra sprite palettes' Csets have any special purposes? I'm aware that palette 1's Csets 6, 7, and 8 are by default used for the Cset swaps for the blue, red, and gold rings respectively by default, but I've also noticed that extras 9, 10, 11, and 12 match the defaults of main 6, extra 6, extra 7, and extra 8, and wonder what they're typically used for. Also, what of the others? -- Pteryx

Can we access these special CSets in the editor yet, and use them for purposes unrelated to what they're intended for?

Yes, in a roundabout way.

In the enemy editor, you can make an enemy that use a sprite palette.
So make an invisible enemy that uses an ESP CSet, then make a tile in 8-bit mode that uses CSet 14 (which is where the ESP CSets are loaded to), and put the invisible enemy on the screens with that tile.
