Another thing to note about Wechidna is that his separate arm sprite doesn't exist.

* Door Into Summer has a different mix than the final. Yes, I'm using the side-by-side comparison utility to compare music. The differences seem to be that the final has stronger "shush, shush" and a couple different sections here and there. And the PWM percussion thingy at the bottom doesn't flash in the proto.

* Tribute in the final is ??? GOOD ENDING ??? in the prototype, indicating that Tribute was to be used instead of Just Another Day. The proto mix is quite different from the final mix.
* Tribute and ??? GOOD ENDING ??? are the same track, but the proto mix is quite different from the final mix. Same with ??? NORMAL ENDING ??? and Destructive Power, this time, the proto difference is that when the final plays three notes on the FM1 (three bass notes that run behind everything), proto only plays one, which is always one note higher than where the final currently is. If someone can give a better description, go ahead.

* Destructive Power in the final is ??? NORMAL ENDING??? in the prototype. While the final plays three notes on the FM1 (three bass notes that run behind everything), the proto only plays one, which is always one note higher than where the final currently is.
* ??? STAFF ROLL ??? and Just Another Day are also different. Mainly in the DAC percussion in proto, and some other note malarkey I can't describe. The mix IS different, however. Proto is missing DECISION 2ND. Steel Heart doesn't play, it just plays one note and then stops in proto. Decision keeps looping in final, but only stops after two loops in proto. Bad decision (forgive the bad pun), Sega.
+
* Just Another Day in the final is ??? STAFF ROLL ??? in the proto, indicating that the staff roll would originally be separated from the ending scene. There are differences in the drumming.
* In Oriental Legend, the mix is also different, along with High Five, Reach The Goal, Have a Happy Day, Nice Meeting You, Surprise! (Surprize! in proto), Chaotic World, Tachy Touch, Silver Screen, Pendulum, Soda Pop (very different mix!), Child's Song, Crystal Nightmare, Tube Panic, Mechanical Dance, Surging Power...well, more than half the songs are different. Most of them are different because the PSG 3 held "note" is a much higher one, making them vastly different, and making the combined sound sound like it was in a metal tube. More musically literate people can tell these differences better than me, just pointing out that there's boatloads of music differences here.
