Actually recently we found out the Sonic and Madonna screen isnt from the game itself. But a demo that include no actual gameplay, just some screens of games running on the console (this image being one of them) I really should find it, i remember seeing the full thing (though you arent missing actually much other than seeing the background move a bit)
Yeah I know what you're talking about! It was from the Sega Teradrive sprite rotation demo. Found that out shortly after making the video. Cool piece of history
When it was mentioned that Sonic would be going against aliens made me think that’s what Sonic’s “Lost world” game was sorta trying to replicate in a way by the designs. 🤔
5:03 that's from a separate tech demo at the same show, showing the Mega Drive's graphics capabilities set to various Sega music, including early versions of Sonic 1 music, which was reused as some sort of (possibly store?) demo for the Teradrive
Someone has already mentioned that the initial concept for the game was a world of nightmares but I want to add on to that. Have you ever seen that concept art of Eggman holding a pillow while wearing pink and green pajamas? Maybe that was made around that time period which can make a lot more sense why he looked like that as Eggman was also one of the original character designs Ohshima made alongside Sonic for the internal company contest for the next SEGA mascot. As for the new scans of this build, the sign is finally now legible enough that we can now see it says something like “NEVER...EEN” There was speculation that I was reading over on the Sonic Retro forums (specifically the thread titled “New Sonic 1 Alpha Screens Discovered” around pages 17-18) that there could be two possibilities on what it could say. The first is NEVERSEEN as this was the first time the public got to see Sonic so it was never before seen. The second is NEVERGREEN as in the possible original name of the zone. They brought up the point that there is a place called Never Lake in Sonic CD where Little Planet floats above so it can line up with that.
@@MisterCVids Personally, I lean towards “NEVERSEEN” as well. Both have good points to back them up but I don’t think we will ever know what it truly says. That will be a mystery left unsolved. Thanks for responding by the way.
we might find it soon because tones of other versions have been found of sonic games such as the sonic 2 prototypes people have found near their houses. so maybe if we are lucky this could be the next to be found :0
I may or may not know where to actually possibly find this build! So about a year and a half ago I was talking with my dad and he told me about this Flower shop that used to be an Arcade in the 90's and at around 1990 he actually played the TTS (Tokyo Toy Show) build of Sonic the Hedgehog! They may have the cabinet still around but its also likely that it was destroyed or just broke.
HUH?! So they made an arcade machine of the demo? Weird... but this is some cool insight! Now I'm not asking for you to find this arcade machine, because it'd probably be hard. But I'd like to know if your dad can remember some stuff from the demo. Like what was it like? Were there multiple levels? Were there other dreamniks (my personal name for the weird enemies) apart from the rock guy? Was there other landmarks (things like the You Are Welcome sign)? Did bosses exist? And most of all... how many bytes was it? Hope you can answer, and have a good day!
I have a picture of a lost screen shot of marble zone of the first Sonic game that shows Sonic tip toeing his way up in the air on wooden platforms while he cross the screen at a death defying pace, I don't know if anyone remembers it I have it in a old TMNT magazine as a advertisement from 1990.
Hey there! Just gonna respond here as opposed to all of your other comments. Thanks for the clarification! Some of the information I had gotten before was incorrect, and numerous people let me know. I had this video uploaded to an older youtube channel of mine, and MCTravisYT had reached out and cleared up a lot of the murky details. I love the story of the TTS demo, so I'm thrilled to finally have the full story. Hope it's found someday. Thanks for watching 😁
I think that the japanese community are the ones with the highest chances of finding this demo, so if we want to find it, we need to contact them and tell them about this.
2:34 Prototype Eggman looks more like as if he should be called “Beeman” 🤣 But still.. the entirety of the Tokyo Toy Show Sonic Prototype’s real interesting… especially with how the enemies used to be monsters until they were eventually changed to robots/badniks in the final product..
Why'd the little goblins look like the ones from Toriyama's pre-Dragon Ball manga, "Dr. Slump"? And where was Vector, the lovable "computer room croc"?
Sega actually lost all the Sonic 1 prototypes We have already found a Sonic 1 prototype, ONLY ONE. And we can STILL find the Sonic 1 Tokyo Toy Show prototype, I hope we can find it.
My theory is that in early versions of Sonic, you could jump and then would have to manually roll, either by pressing the jump button a second time or by pressing down. This was later removed because there’s no reason to jump without rolling.
Hey there! I livestream on a regular basis, so I decided to split my edited content and livestreams to separate channels. I learned that when you stream often to a channel, it messes with your analytics and makes it difficult to grow

5:03 That's not Madonna, that's Sonic's Human Girlfriend that they were going to give him before scrapping her. It was meant to be a Roger Rabbit-Jessica Rabbit type of relationship before they scrapped her.
The composer of the original games OST released some demo tracks that I used in the video. Doesnt confirm thats how they sounded in game, but could be the next closest thing!
A remaster of sonic.exe will have the sonic 1 tts demo green hill for hill clockwork zone for you can’t run … will have sonic 1 old marble zone background but with the sonic 2 death egg floor but burned and the secret levels will have the mania version of lava reef the Nick arcade Simon wai prototypes and the Christian whitehead remake of sonic 2 and techno base from sonic advance 2 and the subconscious mind level is a hybrid of tts green hill clockwork marble zone and the secret levels
@@Utfam_202 Maybe. If you pop a copy of Sonic in your Genesis and just let it run you'll get a loop briefly showing Sonic running through a few of the levels. That's probably what remains of that version
a higher quality scan of the magazine it was from was recently released, it says "YOU ARE WELCOME NEVE###EN" (the hashtags are characters that sonic is blocking)
Well it does have a playable level in the rom/.lvl file it just doesn't load when you press start due to it taking up to much memory (it made me laugh my ass of when I found the error back in the 90's)
