This article pertains to the beta elements of the Wii/PlayStation 2 version of Sonic Unleashed.

Unused PS2 delete icon

On page six of the instruction booklet, the game features an option to delete one's save file. Although this remains true in the Wii Version, the PlayStation 2 version does not show it in the final game. The only proof of its existence is an image with the PlayStation 2 buttons.

Unused graphics

Early graphics

Image	Description
	Two unused graphics of a Trial Version in both Japanese and English.
	Two graphics of what seems to be an early "Stage Select" screen. In the final game, when selecting an area, an option with an image behind it will be present instead.
	Seems to be an early options menu with two areas added to it, this being "Mikinos Captial" and "Egg-Man Land". These are early names for Apotos (misspelled from "Mykonos") and Eggmanland.
	Early options for the player to choose between a Daytime or Nighttime stage for a level. This option does not exist in the final game. Werehog is also misspelled as "Warehog"

Unused graphics

Image	Description
	An unused 1-Up Item Box is loaded outside of the mission barriers of Windmill Isle's grabbing ledges tutorial for the Werehog. The graphic is taken from Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) instead of the image of Sonic's head used in the final game. Collecting it, however, has no effect on the life counter.
	Appears to be early icons for the map for Sonic's life counter and Sun/Moon Medals. The Werehog icon would go unused though.
	A lining of the game's ranking system, having a type of glow associated to them. Though it's possible the S and A ranks could've used these, as they sparkle before the screen fades into black. the player can still never see it by normal means.
	An image of the level hub for Apotos at nighttime. It's daytime variant is used in the game.
	A sprite of the Deep Nightmare enemies, meant to be used in the Spagonia Quick Time Event scene. According to the filename (Npc_enemy_wait), this seemed to have been used when waiting a turn until the one before it gets defeated.

In-game elements

Some of these voice clips relate to various objects.

Clip	Transcript	File	Notes
	Looks like collecting Rings gives you energy back, Sonic!	V_011
	This jumbled up ball of energy feels… It feels just like your power, Sonic!	V_012	Chip talking about the orbs.
	Once you grabbed it, you can throw it! And that goes for enemies too!	V_065	Seems to be an early clip of learning how to throw objects.
	Hey, what's this? We should take it with us and check it out later.	V_072	Chip talking about the three purple key-like objects scattered for the player to find. A different clip is used instead.
	Hey look! It's another one of those things, Sonic! Let's keep looking for more!	V_073	It seemed that Chip would have given more information about the key-like objects. However, he stays silent when they are collected in the final game.
	We're up to three now! Wonder what happens when you gather three?	V_075
	Weird, somebody left a bobsled out here. Hey, let's go for a ride, Sonic.	V_100	Meant to play in Cool Edge Act 1 (day). The player spawns near the bobsled immediately, having no time for Chip to even talk about it in the final game. Although there is another one in Arid Sands (day), it would be much too late for Chip to tell the player about it.
	We've gotta get up that tower, Sonic! That's the only way forward.	V_101	Meant for Rooftop Run Act 1 (night) referencing the Clock Tower.
	Hmm... That thing looks like a lever, maybe we can move it.	V_102
	Get up enough speed, and you can run right across water. Slow down and you'll sink though so be careful.	V_118	Meant to play in Dragon Road Act 1 (day). In the final game, even with the slowest of speed, the player will still go across the water and they are unable to stop.
	That spray looks awful cold, Sonic. If you get hit with that, you'll freeze.	V_119	Meant to play in Cool Edge Act 1 (night)

Werehog's new move

Clip	Filename	Transcript
	V_084	That new move you learned sounds awesome! Let me see it, Sonic.
	V_085	Sounds like the new move you've picked up sounds does something special, Sonic. Let's try it out.
	V_086	C'mon! Let's see that move already, Sonic!
	V_087	Show me that new move, Sonic! I wonder what it does?

Werehog's Rank Quotes

Voice clips for the ranking system. However, each rank depending which the Werehog gets will only play one voice clip in each one. Although V_030 is used in the HD Version, the rest of the voice clips not only get unused in this game but have different voice clips compared to it counterpart.

Clip	File	Transcript
	V_030	Oh yeah, that's right baby!
	V_031	No way!
	V_039	Oh no!
	V_040	Darn, I blew it!
	V_041	Amazing!

Werehog's Boss Victory Quotes

These voice clips were meant to play in the results screen, after beating the boss of each level. However, the Werehog will say his quotes from the ranking system like in the main levels. The boss quotes for the daytime levels are used in the final game and the Werehog quotes are used in the HD Version of the game.

Clip	Boss	File	Transcript
	Dark Gaia Phoenix	V_069	Strike three, monster! That's enough out of you!
	Dark Moray	V_072	Sorry, I'm in a rush here!
	Dark Guardian	V_075	I know little girls who are better with a hammer than you... Well, one anyway.
	Egg Dragoon	V_082	Game over, Eggman! Looks like I win!

Trivia

• In the PlayStation 2 version, for the Unleashed Gauge mission, Chip says "Press the L1 button and R1 button" to use it. However the text reads "Press the L1 button and R1 buttons simultaneously". Judging the from one of the cut voice clips (V_091), this was possibly a late change.
