{{cleanup|This section needs moving to the comparisons page(s)}}
 
===General===
 
*When debug mode is active, the debug counters are always shown, unlike in ''Sonic 3C 0408'' and ''Sonic 3 & Knuckles'' when they are only shown when in object placement mode. The timer displays the number of on-screen sprites, and the rings counter will display the ID number of the character's animation frame.
 
*All the explosions are black when debug mode is enabled.
 
*[[Monitor]] behavior is now like in ''Sonic & Knuckles'' where monitors can be destroyed from any side, even from underneath.
 
 
===Audio===
 
*The Data Select music bug from ''Sonic 3'' alone is still there.
 
*The music locations are ALMOST the same in ''Sonic 3 & Knuckles'' and this prototype; The only differences are that all of the songs (except the first occurrence of the Act 1 Boss theme) use the ''Sonic 3'' versions, and that the original ''Sonic 3'' credits located at $26 is replaced with the new Credits medley.
 
*The echo track of [[Flying Battery Zone]]'s Act 1 music still goes off sync after two loops, and slowly gain drag behind the lead melody.
 
*In the sound test anything from '''D9''' through '''FE''' has no sound. The final sound, '''FF''', is the "Sega" sound.
 
 
===Super/Hyper Forms===
 
*The "S" monitor makes the characters take their Hyper form as in ''Sonic 3 & Knuckles'', rather than Super as in ''Sonic 3'' final.
 
*Unlike in final versions, if the "S" monitor is used with Knuckles, [[Hyper Knuckles]] WILL cause an earthquake when gliding for a distance into a wall.

System(s): Sega Mega Drive

ROM size: 4 MB
Genre: Action

Sonic the Hedgehog 3C Prototype 0517 for the Sega Mega Drive was released by drx during the February 23rd, 2008 proto release. An earlier in-development beta with a compilation number of 0408 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 is a prototype for the canceled Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles compilation called Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Limited Edition.
