- Back to: Sonic Heroes (GameCube E3 version).
General comparisons
The title screen is very different, depicting scrolling banners with all four teams. This title screen was even used in the 10.8 prototype.
The demo only features two playable stages: Seaside Hill (labelled as "EASY") and Rail Canyon (labelled as "HARD"). Team Sonic is the only playable team for both stages.
There are no title cards. The loading screens simply feature the three team rings in the bottom-right corner.
Gameplay comparisons
The HUD is in an early state, as the player's score is not displayed. The timer in the HUD does not count up; rather, it counts down from 9 minutes and 59 seconds, essentially placing a 10-minute time limit on the player.
All the hints are simply text (with additive blending) and with a blue backdrop. They are not narrated by any characters, either.
When the player passes a Checkpoint, they will receive different items depending on which character is the leader. Sonic gets Power Sneakers, Tails gets 20 Rings, and Knuckles gets a Shield.
Speed Type characters cannot perform solo actions or the Rocket Accel yet. They can gather their teammates in preparation for it, but cannot execute it.
There is no spoken dialogue at all.
Rainbow Rings don't award points yet.
When finishing a level, the HUD does not disappear, the music does not stop, and the camera for the end level cutscene goes all wonky at the end of the level, panning away from Team Sonic.
When the game ends, a "Coming Soon" screen appears, and then the game resets.
Graphics comparisons
There are missing graphical effects when spinning off of poles.
