This article has a talk page!This is a sub-page of Proto:Sonic Chaos (Game Gear)/May 17, 1993.
Mecha Green Hill Zone is the fourth stage you see in the game, and it shows several interesting differences, though nothing too drastic. Interestingly, at this point in development, the stage was much closer to the Master System version!
Palette Differences#
- Uses a palette similar to the Master System version.
General Differences#
- The various animated tiles are not implemented yet.
- The Motobug badniks use the same palette as the ones in Turquoise Hill.
- When Sonic runs across the tilted bridges, he slowly moves off the edge. In the final, Sonic stays at the center.
- The oil lakes at the bottom of the level do not have a splash effect when Sonic jumps into them.
- Act 2 has a static monitor in the beginning. It is a ring monitor, yet shows no icon on the monitor.
- Act 2's layout may be early: in the lower-right corner of the level, there is a big empty area.
- The boss animates differently compared to the final game, and has more animation.
