- Back to: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (prototype; 1993-11-03)/Comparisons.
Act 1
Angel Island is introduced by Sonic riding a (broken) surfboard. There is no Tails, Tornado or Super Sonic.
The hedgehog abandons his board and meets a very different looking Knuckles. Rather than attack, Knuckles stands around making some gestures then runs off to the right.
Jump ahead of Knuckles and he'll turn blue.
Title cards are not perfect in any Zone in this prototype, but the Angel Island one seems especially bad.
The left hand side of the screen is not locked, meaning you can backtrackto the beach as soon as you start and promptly die.
Tails flies in when gameplay begins, rather than before. He's also slower to arrive.
This rock can be destroyed by jumping on it. In the final, you have to push it. There's nothing down here but a spring.
Fire Breath breathes fire in the first encounter. In the final it just launches missiles.
After Angel Island catches fire, Sonic and Tails are presented with some very different layout changes. There are falling logs to jump on.
Sonic does not have a dedicated underwater palette when Angel Island catches fire.
