Game Description:
This is the Beta version of Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode 1, for those who didn't know, the original game release date was delayed for three months to improve the game by replacing two levels and adding a bit of extra polish, this is the version we were SUPPOSED to get before that delay, which was later repurposed as an "exclusive version for iOS and Android".
From what I understand, when the game was first released on Wii digital stores, the version that was added to the Japanese store was the Beta version by accident before it was replaced with the final version soon after.
In short... This is the console version but with the iOS/Android exclusive levels.
This footage is from the XBLA BETA version but it's more or less the same, is the only footage I found in high quality that focuses on the different content between the BETA and the Final release, the biggest differences being Casino Street Act 2 and Lost Labyrinth Act 2 being completely different.
P.S. I actually like Sonic The Hedgehog 4, I know it's got a bad reputation but haters gonna hate and that is fine, I honestly prefer Sonic 4 Episode 2 more than Sonic Mania.
