• The characters icons are reused from Sonic Advance 2, except Shadow's icon, as Shadow uses a recolored version of Sonic's icon.
• The health and charged attack bars are thicker than on the final game, especially the charged attack bar. They also lack their blue edges.
• The health bar's damage animation is not implemented yet, and numbers (seen above the health bar) are used to show the character's health.
• The bomb has a different design.
• Sonic's aerial attack is static and has a different, simpler effect. The same effect is used for Tails' "Air E. Ball".
• The character illustrations shown on this trailer are different to the final game, they look like early versions of them.
• The virtual cards have a very different design compared to what they look like in the final game.
• Most of Sonic's movements have different names, the only movement name that wasn't changed was the "Sonic Punch" movement.

• Club Rouge lacks a texture on the wall, as seen in 5:53.
• The world map of Holy Summit is slightly offset to the left, you can easily notice this on the beginning's wood bridge, at 8:13.
• Emerl's customization menu is showcased at 8:45. The background resembles the episode select screen more, with a half-body shot and a blue background. In the final game, a new background was made and Emerl's art is fully shown.
