General

  • Sonic and Tails 1-up monitors are in this build.
  • The sprite for Bomb's 1-up monitor is the design of the Bomb badnik from Sonic 1.
  • Player Select still has a empty slot.
  • There is no sound while in rocket car, and after falling out of the building you get the Combi (NPC) select screen, with the usual 3 question marks.
  • Heavy is still called Heaby.
  • Cheat menus are accessible by Highlighting OPTION, then Pressing A + Start for Color Test, Pressing C + Start for Sound Test (with preliminary graphics), Pressing B + Start for Jam Out mode, which acts similar to Toejam & Earl. In Jam out mode press A, B, C, or Start to play the many different DAC samples. Up, Down, Left, or Right can be held to change between sound banks. A + B + C + Start will Exit the Jamout menu.

Gameplay and Graphics

  • Knuckles features different climbing sprites in this build. Also worth noting that the control is sightly different. You have to keep B pressed to climb, otherwise Knuckles falls off.
  • It's still called Knuckles Ring Star on the level title cards.
  • Apparently, the only way to reach maximum "Ring Power" is by taking small steps after reaching the supposed maximum. Maybe this was made to test different hold distances?
  • End signpost looks COMPLETELY different from final, much flatter (the other side is an eggman picture, remains the same in 1229).
  • After 10 minutes, the minute counter becomes a ยด, at least in Isolated Island.

Level

  • If gliding into the Metal Sonic meetup, Espio will get stuck falling (and turns huge) unless the character moves left.
