Prereleases

Remaining prototypes to document

This post is just to run off what may need to have pages for completion purposes, based on what's documented over on Hidden Palace:

• Sonic Labyrinth (1995-05-25 prototype) - apparently identical to the US final build
• Tails Adventures (review prototype) - completely identical to the final build
• Sonic X-treme (V40 prototype)
• Sonic X-treme (1996-07-14 prototype)
• Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (2001-11-29 prototype)
• Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (review prototype)
• Sonic Rivals 2 Test Sample (2007-10-08)
• Sonic Rivals 2 Pre-Production (2007-10-22)

Most of these are late prototypes, and the ones I may not be so sure about are the Game Gear ones as they are practically identical to the final builds (we did document alternative final builds of Sonic 3 though, and some other prototypes documented here are virtually identical to the final). Should we document those? --BSonirachi (talk) 15:16, 22 February 2021 (EST)

Might as well - there's only a few

They don't have to be super detailed things with comparisons and omnis and whatever. Just "this is a thing that exists". -Black Squirrel (talk) 02:59, 23 February 2021 (EST)

Rightyo. The pages will be up over time. At the time of writing this I've already done Labyrinth.

I'm also thinking that if build dates are favoured for page titles, I'm thinking I could append build dates to prototypes that have confirmed build dates, like the Sonic Mega Collection prototype and the Sonic Advance 3 prototype. Also, there's the concerns I had for the two Sonic 2 prototypes from Sonic Month 2019 which I brought up months ago. What's the word on these? --BSonirachi (talk) 13:57, 23 February 2021 (EST)
