There is known no "floor 4" on the selection of buttons. It is believes these floors represent each known Sonic games.
Note that the animal that appears in this zone in the final is not Picky (the pig) but rather Ricky (the squirrel), possibly due to the zone order being rearranged.Both games claim to take place "Somtime after saviing Angel Island" however there are some subtle clues to hint Sonic Mania takes place before Sonic 4.įor starters in pre-order trailer for Sonic Mania it depicts Sonic entering a lift with five floor buttons on them: 1, 2, 3, K and M. This screenshot of Marble Act 3 shows a broken animation of the fire from the torch in the background. The used spike chandelier was made smaller for the final game, and flames were added to the torch in the background. The object itself wasn't removed, however, and will properly work if placed back into the Zone using a level editor. It was replaced in the final game with the moving green blocks seen throughout the level. This monitor is not there in the final game.Īn early screenshot of the end of Marble Act 1 shows an unused, sideways variant of the "spike chandelier". This screenshot show Act 2 with a monitor before the lava flow. The lava has a less polished appearance, too. In this screenshot, the background is positioned higher up and lacks rings. In addition, this area's moving platform was changed. Spikes was also planned to be in the zone in place of Caterkiller and can be still be spawned there with debug mode in the final game. The first three rings in Act 1 are also absent and replaced with a Buzz Bomber and a Yadorin. In Sonic Mania, similar graphics are used for the lampposts in Studiopolis Zone.
In the 2013 port, they were added in debug mode and function flawlessly. Being red early on, they were changed to a green and blue look until they were removed from the game in the final version.
#SONIC MANIA 8BIT DRUMMER MOVIE#
In many prerelease screenshots, and in the background of a scene in the movie Wayne's World, UFOs are seen spinning in the sky in Marble Zone. In addition, both tracks with PCM drums ("BGM1" and "BGM3") have the original kick and snare tuning as heard in the TTS '90 demo, the Tera Drive store demo, and the Sega Shinsaku Soft Video build. No noise channel imitating a shuffle hi-hat.(The final version's melody transposes FM channel #6 up one octave, to play intervals.) The melody line is played by two detuned FM voices at the same midrange octave, resulting in a mellower sound.The overall arrangement is a bit barren compared to the final BGM.Missing the descending arpeggio in the intro, and the synth chords.Three alternate versions of Sonic tracks appeared as part of Sega Music Collection, a collection of BGMs from several Mega Drive titles which was distributed digitally in Japan via the Sega Game Toshokan dial-up service.Īs heard in this videotape recording of a user's online session with the service, this version of Green Hill's BGM matches the recording of the Tokyo Toy Show '90 demo music, and all three tracks match the BGM for the Tera Drive store demo.Īll three tracks have noticeable differences compared to the final game's BGM. The stage select text is positioned upwards, too, possibly because of the lack of slots like Final Zone.
It's possible that Scrap Brain/Clock Work Act 3 had the boss fight in it, similar to the other Acts. Some acts have Xs listed after them (possibly to mark if they were incomplete), and Final Zone is missing from the list. Later on, the palette got changed to the final's sepia-tone feel. The stage select once used a bluish-grey palette instead of a sepia-tone one. (Interestingly, this title screen heavily resembles the one from the 8-bit versions.) Since the title screen shares the same art/palettes as Green Hill, it used to have the differently detailed background in early pre-release materials before it got adjusted to resemble the final's background not too long afterwards. The title screen of the build shown at the Tokyo Toy Show has a smaller banner (and "SONIC" text).
