• "Sonic only" and "Tails only" instead of xx alone.
• No Hidden palace, no wood zone, similar to the final.

• Boss music doesn't play during Wing Fortress Zone boss.
• When Sonic jumps onto the biplane at the end of Wing Fortress Zone, the jump sound plays twice.
• In the Special Stage, the "(x) rings to go!" message is active; it was not in previous betas. However, even if you have 0 rings to go, the message stays on-screen until the "Cool!"/"Not Enough Rings..." message appears instead of disappearing as in the final.
• Still contains the Tails megascore glitch.

Bugs

• When a level is clear with Super Sonic, Sonic doesn't change back to normal Sonic and the ring counter still drains rings until it hits zero.
