Various Differences

General

  • The header for this prototype reads "GG SONIC 96 Ver E3 ROM1996/05/01 @SEGA/Aspect Co.,L", indicating that this was a demo compiled for E3.
  • After the Sega screen, the game starts off instantly with no character select and no title screen.
  • Sonic is the only playable character.
  • There are no level intro and end title cards.
  • The ROM is half the size of the following ones, perhaps because Knuckles was not yet implemented.
  • Rings are not lost when hit, although they still fly out.
  • It is not possible to proceed after defeating the first boss. Sonic remains taunting in a continuous loop after the boss is defeated.
  • Red Volcano Zone is named Red Volcanic Zone.
