Lava Reef Zone, like other Sonic & Knuckles Zones, is a generally broken and inaccessible mess if the level is forced to load by regular codes, but it surprisingly has a lot of leftover content from an earlier build buried at the end of the ROM. To properly access it, the game must be hacked in order to force it to load this leftover data, which just so happens to contain all of the necessary data for Act 1. The only data that is missing is collision.

The Act begins with Sonic and Tails dropping in from the top like they would do in the final. However, they are not in their "falling" animations.

As the player can clearly see, Lava Reef looks vastly different than it does compared to the Sonic 3C prototypes and in Sonic & Knuckles, sporting different palettes, rock formations and even different pipes. There are no objects, aside from a few placeholder Rings found embedded in the left wall at the start. The HUD even has incorrect colours.

The posts that decorate the Act are taller and purple-coloured.

There is no boss. Going to the right of where the Act ends leads to the loopback.
