Latest revision as of 07:58, 9 February 2021
The Special Stages in beta 4 are functional, but would go on to see further refinements leading up to the final release. In this prototype, every stage has a different colour scheme, and layouts range from being very easy to impossible. Only the first emerald appears on the results screen regardless of how many have been collected.
In beta 4, Tails is always referred to as "Miles" regardless of which region the console is set to. His tails are also corrupted for a few frames as the stage loads.
