Various Differences

  • The title screen is different and features spikes that scroll across the top of the screen. In the final the entire screen scrolls.
  • The boost works differently, you are able to boost from anywhere, even mid-air. The boost meter also refills itself automatically, but slowly.
  • The music is different from final and Act 1's theme is an alternate version of "Blaze Appears."
  • The boss dies in 4 hits and there's no remarks from Eggman at all.
  • An entire Sonic Advance 3 sprite set was was found in the ROM, indicating the game may have used Sonic's previous GBA sprites for a time while in development.
  • The voice work of Ryan Drummond is used.
  • The E3 ROM uses a single .sdat for the music, while in the final, multiple .sdat files were used.
