Back to: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (beta 4)/Comparisons.

The special stages in beta 4 are functional, but would go on to see further refinements leading up to the final release. In this prototype, every stage has a different colour scheme, and many of the object placements are different.

In beta 4, Tails is always referred to as "Miles" regardless of which region the console is set to.
