Taikenban

This is a sub-page of Proto:Sonic Adventure (Dreamcast).

This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

Sonic Adventure Taikenban (ソニックアドベンチャー 体験版, which translates to "Sonic Adventure Trial Version") is a demo of Sonic Adventure that was available at Japanese retail stores during 1999.

Built March 3, 1999, just over two months after the game's original Japanese release, the demo seems to be mostly based on said version but has a few alterations that suggest development had already begun on the international versions.

This page or section needs more images. There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this. Specifically: Screenshots of the differences between the demo and the final.

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Any other differences?
