- Back to: Sonic the Hedgehog CD (prototype 510)/Comparisons.
Stardust Speedway makes no secret about being unfinished in the 510 prototype. It is missing rings and objects, and for a level so reliant on automation, this makes it impossible to negotiate without debug mode.
Act 1
A different lighting technique is used in the present version of the zone. A scrolling beam of light moves up and down the screen, turning the world into a hideous mess. In the final, smaller vertical and diagonal light beams flicker, and appear in the bad future version too.
The good future sports a different colour scheme.
Conversely, the bad future has a myriad of rotating palettes, and the lightning in the background is constant.

Act 3
Neither Eggman nor Metal Sonic turn up in act 3. Instead, you get a hole in the floor, because pits in Sonic prototypes are much more threatening.
Amy is also missing, meaning it's impossible to finish the level by normal means.
The developers seem to have planned for this, however, as a capsule exists on the platform above.
