So this is from the Tokyo Toy Show in June 1990, exactly a year before Sonic's release to the public. And, very clearly, he has undergone MANY changes.

This Tokyo toy show prototype was originally going to be included in Sonic Mega Collection, but no one could find the rom or cartridge. I’m really glad more content and images are being discovered, and if you look at the “Debut Approaching” image you can see Sonic does have his running animation in this prototype.

So yeah. Sadly it is most likely that this prototype is very very lost, Not even the dudes at sega could find it in their archives. It is very likely their original cartridges were overwritten by later game's development builds since Sega is known to have done that a lot in that time

This is the second comment I’ve left but it’s for a reason, Sega does this thing where sometimes they will use other game cartridges to create new games, I remember a Sonic genesis game had leftover data from a Star Trek Genesis game, this could mean if someone just goes into the data of an obscure and non popular Genesis game they might find leftover data from this prototype.
@levelupsonic
4 ай бұрын
You're probably right, when you put it like that, it's probably lost to the sands of times at this point.. And the Sonic game with the Star Trek data was probably the Sonic 3 proto that got found in 2019, I believe..

That’s not possible unless the prototype is found, the cartridge could be lost forever or just have been overwritten. They already tried to release the Tokyo Toy Show prototype for Sonic Mega Collection but no one at SEGA or anyone at Sonic Team (including Yuji Naka) could find the ROM or cartridge or any trace of where it could be.
