Sonic 3D "E3 Demo" title screen

The Sonic 3D Beta is a prototype Sega Mega Drive/Genesis ROM purchased for $700 by the Sonic community and dumped by drx in October 2006. It claims to be a 70 percent complete version of Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island, though it's estimated to be closer to 95 percent.

Different "SEGA" sound at the beginning
The title screen refers to the E3 demo cartridge, even though it isn't the actual E3 demo.
Ending sequences/Chaos Emerald collection screens are missing and have a filler screen instead.
Pausing the game then pressing A proceeds to the next level, in the same way the level select does in the final.
Collecting 100 rings does not produce a 1-Up.
Various changes in level design and layout.

Various pieces of music are used in in both acts: Rusty Ruin uses Act 1 music, Volcano Valley uses Gene Gadget Act 2 music, Gene Gadget uses Act 1 music, Panic Puppet uses Act 2 music and bosses use the final level music.
Two pieces of lost music have been found
