General

• Game instantly goes into level select from the beginning, but anything past Red Volcanic Zone act 3 crashes the game instantly.
• There is no title screen, instead the game goes to the level select when you start the game.
• The character select screen is text based and doesn't have character sprites.
• There are still no level intro and end title cards.
• A Debug Mode is active. Holding 2 will freeze character and allow the player to move him freely with the D-Pad.
• Rings are not lost when hit, although they still fly out.
• Red Volcano Zone is named Red Volcanic Zone.
• After defeating the Volcanic Stage boss, one can use the debug to return to the original location of the boss to view what appears to be a bell like outline. This could possibly be a mistake made by SEGA during the development process.
• In every act 2, underneath the level is a area with garbage data everywhere.
