*The ending sequences have yet to be implemented.
 
 
===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)
System(s): Sega Mega Drive
Publisher: Sega
Developer:
ROM size: 4 MB
Genre: Action

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 a unreleased version of Sonic 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.
