Sonic the Hedgehog 3C (prototype 0408)

Prerelease of: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Limited Edition
System: Sega Mega Drive
Build date: 1994-04-08
ROM size: 4 MB
Source: Sega ROM Archive CD-R disc
Found by: drx

Sonic the Hedgehog 3C Prototype 0408 is a prototype for the canceled Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic & Knuckles compilation called Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Limited Edition for the Sega Mega Drive. It claims to have been built on April 8th, 1994 at 17:29.

This prototype was released by drx during the February 23rd, 2008 proto release. A later in development beta with a compilation number of 0517 was also found. When this beta was obtained by drx the file was labeled "3C" indicating this was an unreleased version of Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Due to the late development date (dating after Sonic 3's release), it's obvious this isn't Sonic 3 before it was split into 2 games.

-This level is very similar to the Act 1.
-*Death Egg's Act 2 music is played
-*You can see portions of the boss present in the final version.
