Can crash on Sega screen.
The Sega screen has the extra text *_=Beta=_* 022894. Also there is no rolling Sonic in the intro. The logo has a wave effect and has no flashing palette.
Title Screen has no Copyright.
Options screen cannot be accessed.
No flashing on the title card text.
No pause text or point display while paused.
Levels can be skipped by pressing or while the game is paused. You can also press to move Sonic anywhere.
Explosions when destroying enemies display garbage tiles instead.
There is a texture in the background near the first paddles in Toxic Pools, where there isn't one in the final.
When you run out of lives you get the ending. There are sprites of Sonic and Robotnik falling down it. Robotnik humurously spins out of control. This leads to a cutscene where both characters land in a volcano.
