Zone 1

SonicCD MCD Comparison WW Act1PastStart.png
Final game

A different, broken palette is still used for the past version of Wacky Workbench.

SonicCD MCD WW1 Present Door.png
Final game

Moments in and Sonic will encounter a flashing door - one which uses the wrong palette. It's wrong in all time zones.

While doors do exist in Wacky Workbench in the final game, they use completely different graphics. This particular door doesn't appear in the present time zone, but it appears in all the others.

Final game

The electric coils still have bits missing from the sides in the past and future versions of the Zone.

Final game

The coils are disabled in the good future, as is the case with the final game, except here they've stopped on a flashing palette rather than an "off" one. The same applies to the bad future, except there they should work.

Final game

The secret angel statue still doesn't dispense rings.

Final game

Eggman's statue still isn't here.

Final game

...or is it? The graphics for these bouncing platforms have been corrupted in the future zones, and it looks like Eggman's statue is to blame. It was fixed in the final game, but the layout was adusted too - in the future, no bouncing platforms exist in the first half of Zone 1.

Zone 2

SonicCD051 MCD WW2 BF RobotTransporter.png
v0.51 prototype

Final game

A corrupted Robot transporter appears in the bad future. It shouldn't be there.

SonicCD051 MCD WW2 GF MissingCircle.png

Final game

This object that takes Sonic around in a circle is missing in the good future.

SonicCD051 MCD WW2 Present Blocks.png
v0.51 prototype
Notavailable.svg
Final game

Sonic's greatest nemesis in Wacky Workbench are these moving blocks. They aren't much of a threat, but they're slow to get out of your way. The final game has some, but they're far less obtrusive.

SonicCD051 MCD WW2 Past VerticalSpinners.png

Final game

The vertical spinners don't work in the past, although you can stand on top of them, which isn't possible in the final game.

Final game

The icy flame things are also corrupted in the past. Thanks Metal Sonic!

Zone 3

SonicCD051 MCD WW3 GF Electricity.png
v0.51 prototype

Final game

Create a good future, and electricty will no longer hurt you. Unless it's the boss. The final game removes this object.

SonicCD051 MCD WW3 BF Blocks.png
v0.51 prototype
Notavailable.svg
Final game

You won't be getting to the boss area in a hurry. The blocks are back and are keen to make Sonic wait for an opening. This Zone is block-free in the final game.
