This article pertains to the beta elements of Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I.
Unused Achievements[]
Meant for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Steam versions of the game. The game would've had more achievements than the twelve that are in the final game. While most of them are basic, one is interesting.

Unused Graphics[]

Image shows the unused launcher icon
In the PC version of the game, there is a file meant for when the player were to launch the game from either the desktop or before the game logo appears. The image itself is a render of Sonic from Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). The launchers that i used to start up that is used in the settings are Splash Hill Zone's backdrop, the Eggman-themed XInput controller (for when connecting an Xbox 360 controller to play the game), and colored keys.

These graphics go unused in both the Android and iOS versions of the game.

  |
A simple "Back" button, which was used in the Windows Phone version to back out into the title screen. | |
      |
Purchase Screen | Textures for the player to purchase the full game. They were probably used for the OUYA version as only that version had a demo. |
