General Differences
Cheat Codes
- Level Select code: , , , , , , highlight 1 player, then press + .
- Debug code: , , , , , , , , , , , , highlight 1 player, then press + .
- Level select is still similar to that of Sonic 1 in this build. The level select menu appears behind Sonic and Tails, and Sonic is all black. This is because, as JoseTB explained, "the first line [of the title screen palette] was the background in previous builds, but it's used by sonic in the new title screen. Of course, the level select pallet remained untouched with the change."
General
- Appears to be the first prototype with the options selection.
- "Sonic and "Tails" in" (or "Sonic and Miles," depending on region)
- The special stages remain the same, except with a palette change.
- As in and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (beta 4) and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (beta 5), the player can run right past Robotnik in Death Egg.
- The final boss only takes one hit, most likely to facilitate testing of the newly-programmed full ending. In previous builds, Sonic and Tails just fly off to the right.
- Tails' ending is not implemented; he uses Sonic's.
