This page details prerelease information and/or media for Sonic Drift.

Hmmm...
To do:
Sources.

Title Screen

Prerelease Final

A scan of an early title screen, source unknown. The image appears to have been cropped to exclude the copyright information, for whatever reason.

  • The logo has harsher shading and sharper corners. This logo is still present in the final ROM, suggesting it was a late change.
  • The logo's borders use a simpler fading paddern compared to the final's spiky one.
  • Sonic's car looks rather different, along with being at a different angle.

SonicDrift GreenHill Mockup.png Sonic Drift GreenHill.png

What appears to be a mockup of Green Hill Zone.

  • The course appears much different, with totem poles at the side.
  • The map at the top of the screen is wider.
  • The sprites are all different. Oddly, Sonic appears to be using his American "mohawk" design in his mugshot, despite the game being developed in (and originally exclusive to) Japan.
  • The fourth character is a Flicky. The final game instead has Amy Rose.
