A prototype of Sonic the Hedgehog CD for the Sega CD.

Notes

The Cutting Room Floor research

This prototype has a research article on TCRF.

• This is the only existing dump of this build of Sonic the Hedgehog CD.
• The original disc was sold on eBay by someone in Brazil in early 2000. The owner of the disc gave user profund darkness a iso/mp3 dump of the disc, who then released the dump onto the internet along with dumps of other Sonic CD prototypes. The original disc has since been sold and is now lost.
• The title screen is completely different from the final version, and uses 320×224 resolution rather than the final's 256×224. It also credits Keiko Utoku, the singer of "Sonic - You Can Do Anything":

• 

  510

• 

  712+

• The Special Stage is not yet playable, but a demo can be seen on the title screen. The text "The programmer has a nap. Hold out! Programmer!" flashes repeatedly, which indicates the programmer's laziness.
• The Special Stage music is extended, lasting four-and-a-half minutes:

Click to listen

• The jump sound is more low-pitched than the final version.
• Most of the music is the same as the Japanese/European soundtrack, but without fade-outs.

• The game has a SEGA logo with the classic "SEEEGAAA!" sound. It was removed from the 712 prototype and up due to the BIOS including it.
