The Egg Searcher wields three respawnable flying guns that are worth 100 points each instead of 0 like in the final. The Searcher itself is also worth 100 points and any guns that the Searcher was armed with upon its defeat will get added in to the point total. (e.g. Searcher with 1 gun = 200 pts.). Defeating a Searcher when it's armed with all three guns earns the player a demo-only Radical! bonus (e.g. Searcher with 3 guns = 400 pts. + Radical).

Various differences
Bugs
- Control stick navigation for the title and pause screen is extremely sensitive and can only be properly navigated by using the directional pad.
- Egg Bombers can crawl in mid-air, most often seen with the first set.
- Homing Attacking empty 1-UP capsules will have Sonic stuck in place and then dropped down.
- Completing the level with a timer that's 20 minutes and 1 second or over will result in an S-rank, regardless of score.
- In most cases, if the player earns a Good!, a Great!, and a Radical! bonus in any order and in a short enough time between each, then the player will earn -2,112,941,584 points causing the score to maximise to all 9's. Completing the level with this score will cause every factor besides the time to be maxed out to 9's. (video).
Collision Detection
- Prone to clip through walls usually from Spin Dashing next and into the wall as well as running into walls at high speeds often from being launched from a speedy Light Dash.
- The long quarter-pipe ramp before the goal has a collision hole at the bend on the right side.
- The ceiling collision barriers that obstruct the player's running path are missing in the high cave full of Egg Bombers making it much easier to run on the ceiling and do loop-de-loops.
