The Sega logo animation is the same one from Sonic the Hedgehog 2, though it has a number of glitches here. Sonic is seen with incorrect colours, and after he has run across the screen once, the screen blacks out with the remainder of the logo being drawn on the black screen.

The title screen is very different. As shown here, Sonic uses a less-polished render and doesn't animate, and the logo and title banners have different colours, with the banner being light blue/white and the logo being dark blue/orange. There is also no background, menu options or copyright information.
The rolling demo plays after waiting for eight seconds on the title screen instead of waiting for the music to finish playing.
