Final game

Electric Egg Zone now has a rotating palette for the background, but it is more basic than in the final. Some of the alternating lights are yellow instead of cyan.

Final game

Spikes have a rather different appearance. Every second spike in a set is red and doesn't animate like the white ones do. The ceiling was also raised here in the final to give the player more headroom in avoiding the spikes.

The carts will begin moving when interacted with, but Sonic/Tails can't ride in any of them.

Final game

The entrance to the tube is higher up in this prototype. This makes it very difficult for the player to enter it.

Final game

There is an extra room containing six Rings here just before the Super Ring Monitors. This room was later cut in the final.

Final game

The Laser Walker has a green headlight instead of a yellow one in this prototype. Hits against the side of the boss will also count, whereas the final only counts hits on the cockpit.

Final game

The Laser Walker's second phase is much less threatening in this prototype, as it cannot instantly kill the player upon contact; even Spin Attacking into the side of the Laser Walker will bounce the player back safely. It also takes more than one hit to defeat this phase, requiring a total of 9 hits.

Final game

The screen scrolls more slowly when chasing Dr. Eggman after defeating the Laser Walker, and the player can even run in front of Eggman.

Final game

Eggman will drop his Chaos Emerald regardless of the player's character or how many Emeralds they have, and once the player collects it, the music will change, but the player will be stuck there with no ending sequence. When playing as Sonic, the credits music will play, but when playing as Tails, an eerie three-note tune is played for a few seconds before slowly fading out.

Either way, there's nothing more to do here, so the only thing the player can do at this point is to reset.
