Sonic 3 Prototype Sales Promotional VHS Tape Differences

[@arekrekas213]

3:01 the commitment to the "Speed Trap" bit is appreciated

[@Valientlink]

The GOAT is back. I saw this tape yesterday and thought it was one of the ones you'd covered already, but I could definitely tell there were palette issues with the HUD, electric shield not working which you had in the last one, among most of what you've covered, but I didn't realize how many of the small things I missed as I watch along. Honestly the blue top was better staying lol. I HATE that thing, and have never known how to control it properly. Having to go off screen and come back for it to load again is annoying an unnecessary, so they should've kept the top on the ground after jumping off IMO

[@SilverSonic1992]

Yeah, I sort-of did cover it, since I made videos on two of the magazines that took screenshots from this particular tape. I had no idea that the tape itself would drop only weeks later! But yeah, seeing the whole thing in motion reveals some more details about this build. I agree with you about the top. Having it stay around after jumping off would've been nice. You'll see why they changed it if you try flying into ceiling spikes in the prototype though.

[@some_body_else3636]

we all hate the spinning top my friend

[@sikthehedgehog]

Fun fact: Sonic not going into his jump animation when jumping off the hook is how it works in Sonic 2 as well (with Mystic Cave's vines and Wing Fortress' handlebars). Amusingly he _is_ in his jump state internally, they just forgot to change the animation.

[@DeluxeGamer705]

The amount of new screenshots and a newly discovered VHS tape makes me think that soon a new Sonic 3 prototype will surface, built later after the 1103 one. Seems like in these prototypes, green HUD and Tails' missing tails in the special stages are the main thing to see. ;)

[@Robertishappy184]

Your videos make my day bro I've been waiting master!

[@some_body_else3636]

this video deserves way more recognition than it is getting right now, youtube is really testing this guy

[@fruitcakedog1997]

It’s because his videos are simply straight to the point just like old school KZbin. There’s no padding or unnecessary commentary to reach the 10 minute mark for maximum ad revenue like most people do these days.

[@some_body_else3636]

@fruitcakedog1997 you don't need to reach 10 minutes of video length to get ads anymore because they changed it to be 8 but still yeah true

[@hoppy8008]

It's amazing that Sonic 3 has so many mysteries behind its development, I thought all of the mysteries behind Sonic 3's development were solved by now.

[@SilverSonic1992]

Trust me, there's more.

[@SonicROMHacksAlt]

4:32 The Multiplayer Level Order was finalized by that point, but was still in it's prototype phase because the HUD was there like you said. In the 1103 Prototype, Desert Palace and Chrome Gadget's positions were swapped.

[@Mousey269]

I notice the score resets in some of levels in this vhs footage, so it could be possible that save feature still not implemented yet so it take u level select like 1103 build

[@SilverSonic1992]

The score never gets saved even on a save file.

[@WarnerJazzOSC]

​@@SilverSonic1992 yea like sonic 1, 2 reset their scores.

[@Mousey269]

Make sense, but I always wonder, was it conscience or not? Who knows

[@GreenBunnyGamesGuides]

Someone should make a mod adding back tails without his tails, i would play the entire thing in 1 sitting

[@SilverSonic1992]

You'll have to call him Miles.

RIP to a legend.

[@corerewinded]

AAAAA, WE'RE GOT THIS! I love this game 😭❤️

[@Akrenix]

Looks like this prototype wasn't built very long after 1103

[@brianpso]

So insane that this tape was found!

[@gengar-1997]

the search for a pre-final/post-1103 (and pre-1103) build continues...

[@Zecolarii]

there’s already post 1103 prototypes out there

[@gengar-1997]

@Zecolarii they havent been released tho (i dont count 1120 and EEPROM protos, cos they are just the final builds, and we're looking for pre-final builds. i cant count hoaxes either cos theyre from the community)

[@Unkown-il9oz]

love these videos this is super interesting i wonder how much more things we can find

[@Randi_MyMan]

imagine if we got the full, tape for this version

[@imnotuploading512]

3:01 - Wow, Sonic was rolling down until he got stuck by a trap!

[@Doodooodooorandomproductionsje]

Finally, mr sonic 3 lost media is back

@ Thanks!

I hope we see something earlier then the 1103 proto

[@Waffles222-p3c]

i knew he gunna make a video about this

[@DAJTheYouTuber_2007]

4:06 now that's something i won't unsee

[@allstarspixel]

There are lives in the intro and the Timer in competition seems to be the final one

[@kotoneshiomi8882]

Thank you for your effort, nice video as always

[@SilverSonic1992]

Thank you.

[@tavanijorge2175]

sonic 3 is gonna become de super mario 64 of sega

[@lordmarculus4747]

How is there still new footage being unearthed???

[@some_body_else3636]

that's the thing about lost media, it could be anywhere and could resurface anytime

[@Useott]

Pretty awesome

[@some_body_else3636]

indeed

[@SEGALOVER95]

Knuckles now have Nigerian shoes nice

[@NotCzech001]

3:19 But Sonic doesn’t use his jumping animation when jumping off of the crane hook in the final version of sonic 3 either. They only changed that in sonic 3 and knuckles.

[@SilverSonic1992]

That's only true of the crane hooks in Act 2, which are a separate object.

[@NotCzech001]

@@SilverSonic1992oh i see

[@MiieHenryGacha]

I seem to have realized something, where did that icecap zone build without the snowflake effects come from?? Where are the 1103 huds too?? we should do a sonic 3 timeline! Some screenshots have different builds, even before this vhs like that screenshot of the icecap zone without the snowflake effect :v

[@SilverSonic1992]

It could be from this exact prototype or one that is similar.

[@MiieHenryGacha]

​@@SilverSonic1992If you see in prototype 1103 both the mini boss from act 1 and Eggman from act 2 do not have the snowflakes effects

[@MiieHenryGacha]

​@@SilverSonic1992 in the sales promotion build, there are snowflakes during the mini boss in the footage, while in that unknown ice cap screenshot where Eggman is who had the old huds! there are no snowflakes falling in the 2nd act of the boss, I have a theory that it could be an earlier build but after 1103

[@MiieHenryGacha]

@@SilverSonic1992 Maybe this mystery can only be solved if a complete footage of this VHS is found! Like the pre-final version where drx released it to the public to know where the screenshot build comes from and if it is the same one shown in the sales promotion or not!

[@heresmarioytp]

Sonic Games of Prototypes Have A LOT of Changes

[@Reanmashups]

Question are the final sonic 3 sprites in prototype 1103? Because i know that the co-op versions of both use the final sprites

[@SilverSonic1992]

Nope.

[@FoxDelivery-tv5md]

Cambios muy menores pero interesantes good vídeo very interesting
