This exact prototype was released yesterday, the 30th anniversary is off to a good start.

[@NicknineTheEagle]

I doubt it was Nick Arcade prototype that has been leaked since all demos in it are broken. It does look close, though.

[@ahuman2791]

@@NicknineTheEagle Yeah you have a point. At the very least it’s pretty close to the build that was shown.

[@jackscalfani555]

@@NicknineTheEagle Are you referring to the demos that play after the title screen? If so, they are not shown here in this Nick Arcade pilot. For all we know, this particular prototype played on this show can also have those same broken demos too.

[@larstiussi1362]

@@NicknineTheEagle did you notice the motobug that is placed at the start of the stage, its much closer to the beggining than usual, and the three rings above the first rock, just as the prototype found. anyway i think drx is going to tell how they got it in next issue of retro gamer. i also noticed this rolling ball was supposed to take the player to places he dont wanna go, then to become the boss weapon at the end. and i managed to get killed multiple times by it in acts 1 2 and 3, maybe they took it out cuz interaction is not that great, and maybe uninteresting? or maybe just for less difficulty, as many other aspects also

[@KatKuriN]

The original is pretty much confirmed to be destroyed. This comment is misinformation.

[@handsplasticx]

Jesus the announcer predicted the Sonic Generations boss by randomly screaming how many rings he had.

[@MisterVercetti]

You could make a drinking game out of how many times he says "already", though your liver would probably be in pretty bad shape afterwards.

[@glace4222]

25 rings? I would easily beat that

[@glace4222]

Danny Sweeney Same, I would defiently beat this in 50 seconds

[@AnvilSP]

Keep in mind this was probably the first time anyone had ever played this game and nobody had a grasp on the controls or level layout.

[@glace4222]

Angel AR Yeah you are correct.

[@SkullboyMus1c]

i beat it with 100 rings in 30 something seconds.

[@90sNath]

Angel AR is right, even we might not be able to in this verison as normal there is a rolling ball you have to jump over aswell. Some mechanics might have been changed too.

[@LostEngineProductions]

I wonder, is this and the prototype we found recently (January 1 2021) both the same build?

[@ahuman2791]

@Flareon98 Apparently from what I heard, it is. Really awesome huh?

[@benjaminvlz]

@blue red A copy of the Sonic 1 prototype seen in this video has yet to be found and obtained by anyone in the retro gaming community as far as we know. That's why it hasn't leaked.

[@EmibacoITANENG]

You can play this game on android devices, on an app called Video Game. So, here are 2 glitches/bugs from the prototype. 1. Lose 1 live when fall from lose rings Step 1) Go find some "spikes" that are perfect Step 2) Jump on the spikes and then you will lose a live 2. Crash/Restart Step 1) Press the start button to pause. Step 2) Press the other buttons. Once you did that, the game will crash/restart.

Same drums (Roland TR-626) but playing at the correct pitch, the final game used a faster DAC driver and they didn't compensate for the pitch difference.

Your ears aren't deceiving you the drums are indeed different.
