Sonic 2 Prototype Development Timeline

Information

This table operates under the assumption that the Nick Arcade proto and the Sega Visions '92 proto are one and the same, as there is no evidence to suggest otherwise. Likewise, it assumes that the title screen pictured in the Sonic 2 manual is that of Beta 4.

Betas 1 through 3 are not within our possession (yet) so I didn't bother adding empty columns.

Table

  NA Alpha Wai Alpha Mean Machines VHS Beta 4 Beta 5 Beta 6 Beta 7 Beta 8 Final
Title screen Old Old Old Old (2P) Final (no Options) Final Final Final Final
Level Select Sonic 1 Rev01 under construction
Title cards None None ? Final Final Final Final Final Final
Spindash trail N N ? Y Y Y Y Y Y
Spike bug Y Y Y Y N N N N N
Lie down pose N N ? Y Y Y Y Y Y
EHZ Coconuts N N Y Y Y Y Y Y Y
EHZ Snail Y Y N N N N N N N
Boss explosions Y (S1 style) N ? Y Y Y Y Y Y
HTZ Seesaw Green Orb Sol Sol Sol Sol Sol Sol Sol Sol
MTZ Nets n/a N ? Y Y Y Y Y Y

Zone slots

  • Note: From Beta 4 onward, it uses the level slots for the zones, and title cards with the zone names from the final. The table lists the zone names from the level select to simply provide information and contrast.

Sonic 3 Prototype Development Timeline

Yeah I'm going there.

Information

The S&K 0525 prototype will be examined while locked on to Sonic 3 final as dumped (it's a garbled mess otherwise as they hadn't finished splitting it). For reference, all of these were from 1994.

Table

  S3C 0408 S3C 0517 S&K 0525 S&K 0606 S&K 0608 S&K 0610 S&K 0612 S&K 0618 S&K 0619 S3 final S&K final S3K final
