Aight, so, like 2 years ago.. I was watching a development documentary video on all of Sonic's games, including ones that were canceled (even tho they didnt go very indepth) , but then someone by the name of @jckstudios7693 on YouTube had posted a comment saying something along the lines of: "hey you forgot this prototype", and sent a link to a SONIC 1 PROTOTYPE. and then i went on and reposted it on my old channel, apparently he had forgot about it, and then i found that post later on and tried posting it on Sonic Retro but uhh something happened i dont really remember, but now i'm posting it here, but take this with a grande of salt, this might be a fake prototype so uhh beware i guess. Here it is!

IF THIS IS A REAL PROTO, it's definitely a pre-WCES build which is pretty early.
Though, I would be more apt to say that the prototype is a fake because jckstudios7693 seems to be some "proto-kid" and probably just found someone's ROM hack.

Sharing this on Sonic Retro because the people over there are going to be better at verifying it than anyone here. (And also because I can't find your thread.)
 
This seems... off.
mainly green hill.
It has very "ROM HACK-y" feel, akin to megamix. (the older versions.)
some things don't seem to line up or make sense.

I think it's fake.
 
several screenshots of the pre-WCES builds show the life counter when debug mode is disabled (while "sonic_old" doesn't show the life counter at all), the buzz bomber's projectile becomes corrupted when landing, the chopper and newtron can still be spawned in green hill with debug mode with corrupt graphics, the special stage uses smoother rotation (which you can do in a few seconds since theres a guide on the sonicretro wiki) compared to the Buckaroo prototype and clock work zone act 3 (final zone) has the final zone music and boss in it (while the Buckaroo prototype doesn't) idk if that's worth pointing out

just dug a bit deeper, the layout for labyrinth zone act 4 (clock work zone act 3) is present in sonic_old (it even has a unique title card and the clock work zone music) but isn't present in the Buckaroo prototype so my most likely conclusion is that sonic_old is just a ROM hack

I had a feeling it was.
Thanks for the confirmation.
