Sonic the Hedgehog 1 Beta - Spring Yard / Sparkling Zone

Beta version has a different background, and the pillars are a different colour.

Same bit of level.

You can see another part of the beta background here, with stars.

Different background, different coloured pillars, and the switch is in a slightly different position.

Lots of differences here: purple Roller badnik (it's normally blue), Motobug badnik (only appears in GHZ in final version), extra pillar, spikes, lamp/block thing.

Different background again.

"Good bye".

Extra Yadrin badnik in the beta.

Different background, extra Roller enemy (which is blue instead of purple!), and it's not possible to reach this area in only 14 seconds.

This is a very high quality screenshot of the Sparkling Zone graphics. The line of spikes was removed from the game.
