General comparisons
Title screen
The Sega and Sonic Team logos do not have added "Presented by" and "Created by" text respectively. The title music's timing is also not adjusted for PAL speeds and starts sooner than usual.
The Sofdec logo is absent, leaving just the ADX logo.
The Dolby Digital Pro Logic II logo is not present yet.

Despite predating the GameCube 10-08 build, this prototype uses the final title screen. The sole difference from the final PlayStation 2 build is that the "Press START button" text is in all caps and still features the pulsing button icon from the GameCube version.

The language select is mostly functional, albeit with differences:
- Selection is buggy in that German can only be selected after Spanish despite being listed after French.
- A Korean language option is available. This language is only available in the final PC and Korean PS2 versions, and is displayed with a different font.
- The English voice language option is untranslated.
FMVs
FMV streaming has problems in this build in that the FMVs stutter and feature corruption at the bottom of the screen. Additionally, FMVs which have subtitles present display the subtitles in black boxes.
Gameplay
Title cards do not feature "NOW LOADING" text in the top-right corner. In addition, the mission description text is in a different font and the "MISSION" header blinks.
The "Quit" text is stretched out in the pause menu.
Emblems have a different design from the final game, and no counter is displayed.
The HUD in 2P mode features Xbox buttons and a black bar at the bottom of the screen.
Audio comparisons
Almost all songs are absent in this build, with the only level themes on the disc being those that were present in E3 and TGS builds of the game (Seaside Hill, Rail Canyon and Bullet Station). The Speed Up and Stage Clear themes have been added since the E3 builds and play as intended.
