Sega logo. Sonic Team logo. The Sonic's 10th anniversary logo showcasing the early project name Sonic The Hedgehog Advance which mentions the game is being developed by Dimps. The logo fading to black. Sonic in the early version of Neo Green Hill Zone. The background is different and has less detailed clouds. A wooden fence behind Sonic and small rocks on the opposite side of the road which are not presented in the final game. Bushes in the foreground also do not have red flowers like in the final game. As Sonic starts running, palmtrees appear in both the foreground and the background. In the final game, the palmtrees are taller and appear only in the background. As Sonic gives a V sign, the differences are still the same. Sonic runs off screen. "Coming soon" screen on a black background. |
