===Audio Differences===

*The music for the title screen, mini-bosses, Knuckles, invincibility, and collecting 1-ups are all from ''Sonic 3''.
 
−
*Many sound effects are missing, especially in the ''Sonic & Knuckles'' Zones and when playing as Knuckles.
 
−
*Has additional unused sound bytes of music at the following sound test codes: '''24''', '''23''', '''32''', '''2D''', '''22''', '''21''', '''20''', '''1E'''.
 
−
*Sound test numbering is different for most sounds. Lots of empty slots for sounds in the sound tester.
 
−
*The Data Select music bug from ''Sonic 3'' alone is still there.
 
−
*If Lava Reef act 4 (Hidden Palace Zone) is accessed via Level Select it will use Sky Sanctuary music.
 
−
*The lead echo track of Flying Battery Zone's Act 1 music will go off sync after the first loop, and will increasingly gain drag behind after every loop.

−
===[[Angel Island Zone]]===
 
−
*Act 1 will still play Act 2 music when returning from a Bonus Stage after the Zone has been set on fire, like in ''Sonic 3''.
 
−
*Knuckles' route in Act 2 still has its object layouts from ''Sonic 3''.
 
−
 
 
−
===[[Carnival Night Zone]]===
 
−
*When playing as Sonic alone in Act 1, Tails randomly appears after the boss. (This randomly happens in the completed ''Sonic 3'', but with a different frequency.)

===[[Bonus Stage (Sonic 3 & Knuckles)|Bonus Stages]]===
 
−
====Slot Machine====
 
−
*There is a higher chance of getting 3 Robotnik/Eggman pictures on the slots than in the final version.
 
−
*Using debug to fall out of the stage causes the game to crash. In the final, it takes you to a glitchy area with randomly placed tiles, a la ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)|Sonic 1]]''.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3C Prototype 0408 is a prototype for the canceled Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic & Knuckles compilation called Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Limited Edition for the Sega Mega Drive. It claims to have been built on April 8th, 1994 at 17:29.

This prototype was released by drx during the February 23rd, 2008 proto release. A later in development beta with a compilation number of 0517 was also found. When this beta was obtained by drx the file was labeled "3C" indicating this was an unreleased version of Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Due to the late development date (dating after Sonic 3's release), it's obvious this isn't Sonic 3 before it was split into 2 games.
