This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Are there any more differences with these prototypes? Also, there are more protos:0601, 701B, 0722, 0725, 0927 and 1004.

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

This page details one or more prototype versions of Tails and the Music Maker.

Prototype 0608#

This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

Dated June 8, 1994, the game is nearly completed at this point, though there are some minor differences.

General Differences#

  • The header reads "PUT TITLE HERE".
  • Tails doesn't fly across the Pico screen.
  • A beeping noise plays every time the screen transitions into black or if you decide to play a minigame.
  • The final page's music is completely different.

Title Screen#

Proto

Final

  • Tails' sprite is much less detailed at this point.
  • Musical instruments are floating around instead of musical notes.
  • The brightness on the title screen is slightly dimmer.
  • No trademark symbol is present.
  • A sound test is in the bottom-left corner.

Sonic#

Proto

Final

Sonic's sprite seems to have been drawn from SatAM concept art. This actually makes it more on-model in the prototype.

Prototype 0623#

Dated June 24, 1994, this build seems more complete.

This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

  • An additional instrument plays during the title music.
  • Tails still doesn't fly across the Pico screen.
