A big thanks goes to @launchbasezone for finding these screenshots!
This video is a quick look at recently discovered prototype screenshots of a late prototype of Sonic 3. The screenshots themselves were printed in Diehard GameFan Volume 2 Issue 2 from January 1994, but were apparently sourced from a VHS tape that was also seen in advertisement footage for Epcot Innoventions 1994.

The giant robot suits are broken out a little earlier than usual.
This day marks exactly two years since part 1 of this series. Originally it was cancelled, but a lot of people enjoyed it so I made a part 2! I started working on this in January (not consistently!) and here this is, almost 11 months later.
In actuality, this is actually the 4th part, with the previous part actually being the 2nd. Part 1 and 4 have never been finished or released, and since this series isnt meant to make sense anymore it has little connection with the unseen parts.
You probably noticed the white lines in the background while watching this video. Unfortunately, that seems to be a major visual bug present in Adobe Flash CS6 and there is little I can do about. I wanted to do accurate BG parallax effects as seen in the original game.
