Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 Xbox Live Demo) for the Microsoft Xbox 360 was once publicly available through Xbox Live Marketplace. It is currently only available for re-download to the Gamertags used for download to players that have downloaded it before its removal in case of deletion.
The demo plays out in Sonic's first section of Kingdom Valley and the level as well as the game itself contains some differences from the final version. It also contains the game's 2006 E3 trailer but without the dramatic voiceover.

Various Differences
General
- The curvature of the Homing Attack goes downwards and can be used to improve momentum rather than reduce speed.
- Different enemy and item placement, no medals.
- Rings will fly out in a wider circle when hit.
- Immediate respawn after losing a life, the screen will not black out.
- Sonic never falls back from hitting a wall and never gets paralyzed for a few seconds from clipping into walls.
- Most trails of rings are Light Dashable.
- Sonic will fall from ceilings instead of standing in place (e.g. the high cave full of Egg Bombers).
- Camera angle shots were added in the beginning spiral path of the level.
- Camera control is much slower.
- Action Guage starts out empty but is fillable by defeating enemies although it fills up much more slowly than its final version counterpart. Nothing happens when the Action Gauge is full. The first of the three bottom-right squares are colored in red showing a nonexistent Custom Action to be Level 1. The bar below the Action Guage also has a small bit of red filled in which is always empty in the final.
Visual & Sound
- Title screen uses one of the last riffs from His World (Ali Taba. & Matty Lewis version) instead of the song's introduction.
- The title screen's and pause screen's options refer to the demo with "Play Demo" and "Quit Demo" respectively.
- The control scheme is shown during the level's loading.
- The music and the screen will not fade out after the last life.
- The visual effects of the Homing Attack are a little different.
- No flashy visual effects for Spin Dashing.
- The Bound Jump's "shockwave" is yellow-white instead of blue.
- No voice sound effects except for subtitled scripts, no scripts on the results screen.
- Pressing
or 
on any option in the pause menu will not produce the "confirming" high-pitched sound effect heard in the final and will instead produce the same "cancel" sound used for pressing 
or 
.
Scoring
- 1-UPs score 0 points instead of 200.
- After obtainment, 1-UP capsules will stay empty after losing a life.
- Light Dashing earns a Good! bonus and point increments increase for combo'ing them together.
- Hitting a rock pile, scattering them, is worth 20 points and hitting any of the scattered rocks are another 20 points each. In the final version the rocks will disappear immediately when scattered but the initial pile is still worth 20.
- The Egg Searcher has three respawnable flying guns that are worth 100 points each instead of 0 in the final. By itself the Searcher is also worth 100 points. When defeating the Searcher whatever guns it's still armed with will explode with the Searcher and the points earned from the guns gets included with the points earned from the Searcher (e.g. Searcher with 2 guns = 300 pts.). Defeating a Searcher when it's armed with three guns also earns a demo-only Radical! bonus (e.g. Searcher with 3 guns = 400 pts. + Radical).
Bugs
- Control stick navigation for the title and pause screen is extremely sensitive and can only be properly navigated by using the directional pad.
- Egg Bombers can crawl in mid-air, most often seen with the first set.
- Home Attacking empty 1-UP capsules will have Sonic stuck in place and then dropped down.
- Completing the level with a timer that's over about 21 minutes will earn an S-rank regardless of score.
- In most cases, if the player earns a Good!, a Great!, and a Radical! bonus in any order and in a short enough time between each, then the player will earn -2,112,941,584 points causing the score to maximise to all 9's. Completing the level with this score will cause every factor besides the time to be maxed out to 9's. (video).
Collision Detection
- Prone to clip through walls usually from Spin Dashing next and into the wall as well as running into walls at high speeds often from being launched from a speedy Light Dash.
- The long quarter-pipe ramp before the goal has a collision hole at the bend on the right side.
- The ceiling collision barriers that obstruct the player's running path are missing in the high cave full of Egg Bombers making it much easier to run on the ceiling and do loop-de-loops.
