General Differences

• This is the first proto to use the final versions "Sega" scream during the intro.
• The Opening CG is shown in this proto, but without music. This is the first proto to use it. (The Intro video when starting the game is active also).
• Level Select is still activated automatically when starting a game.
• The title screen still refers to E3 demo.
• Pressing + will skip levels.
• The options menu is finally activated in this proto, which shows a different Sonic from the final.
• When you defeating the final boss, the game displays the message "GAME COMPLETED WITH ALL CHAOS EMERALDS SEQUENCE WILL GO HERE". It shows this no matter how many Emeralds are actually obtained.
• One of the unused tunes that was in the first beta released by drx was developed further in this version. It can even be listened to in the sound test.
• A score tally is shown when completing a level.
