Sonic 4 Episode I: Partner.Net Build

Since I haven't uploading a video for a year.[/oldjoke] Here is something for you all to enjoy; the Partner.Net build of SONIC 4 EPISODE I! I have one more surprise later this year. ;D

(Note: You can also see my 5-6 deaths, this is an UNEDITED video!)

General Changes:
-Sonic's full running animation is almost never used. This was changed in the Final.
-Level select screen uses pictures of levels instead of a landscape.
-The opening is different, it fades in from a white screen compared to the final. ESRB logo is also missing.
-Music is slightly changed.
-Different loading screen.
-Cannot go past the end-of-level border.
-Blue screen tile lacks animation.
-No lock-on SFX
-No way to progress to the next act without using the Level Select screen.
-Super Sonic uses invi. music.
-Special Stages lack the usage of the Dpad, you must use tilt controls. Lack of jump too.

SPLASH HILL Changes:

I'm sure that people have already asked this but how did you get this?

@Zerobadniks

I won't post comments about the location of the wad to prevent this video from being taken down. I will give you a hint though: The game was updated. (Also, check Sonic Retro.)

[Sonicdude41]

Well, we can clearly see why Act 2 of Lost Labyrinth wasn't in the final version -- it would've been terribly frustrating to use the WIi remote to get through that level. It's clearly better suited for the iPhone/iPod touch.

[1stkirbyever]

@Sonicdude41 Except the Ipod version is automatic.

Stop fighting you two or I'll start blocking your comments.

Seriously though, it doesn't seem like ALL THAT MUCH got changed other than the option to use non-motion controls for motion/special stage parts, and I think that the final version is great, so I still would have bought this too.

I don't understand why everyone got so butthurt over this game -- if you accept it on its own gameplay terms and merits that are similar enough to all but the picky, it's *fun*! That's the point, right? To have fun, not to be the Genesis Sonic engine accuracy police?

[nexonkartrider309]

i kind of like the level design for splash hill act 2 especially 2:27 im wondering why they change some GOOD things...

[HyperShadicX]

@BritainsRailways Reguardless of it being a build from Microsoft's Partner.Net, it is definitely a beta for Sonic 4 that is almost the same exact one on Partner.Net. No need to call him an idiot. Also, no, it's not the stock Wii version; tell me act 2 of Casino Street and Lost Labarynth look like that, I dare you to (NOT on the iOS version mind you).

[BritainsRailways]

This isn't Partner Net anything, it's clearly on the Wii. Partner net is Microsoft's developer platform. Idiot.
