Occasionally an incomplete version of a Sonic game finds it's way to the general public. As these versions are incomplete, they often play very differently to the final version. Levels and/or environments may be broken or non-existent, numerous bugs and/or glitches may be present, and some features may even be absent from the final game entirely. On even rarer occasions a game that was never finished may emerge.

This category covers prototype versions and release candidates of Sonic games made available to the public, both those which made it to retail, and those which did not.
