- Back to: Sonic the Hedgehog CD (prototype; 1993-07-12)/Comparisons.
Zone 1
The Scrap Brain Zone-style opening and closing trap doors have moved from the 510 prototype, and are now covering these sections, replacing the awkward sideways spikes. In the final, these objects would be removed entirely, forcing you to wrestle the physics engine as you negotiate the spikes. They also have a sound effect attached in the 712 prototype, but it's a bit loud and off putting.
Interestingly these sections appear in the PAL Mega-CD manualMedia:SonicCD MCD EU manual.pdf[1], suggesting they were removed quite late into development.
The area where the robot transporter is in the Past of Act 1 has more springs than spikes.
The shrink laser has a delay before firing each laser instead of firing constantly. The growth laser, on the other hand, is constantly firing like in the final.
