While it's barely visible, Sonic's artwork in the background of the title screen is based on an alternate version of his portrait that isn't wearing the SOAP shoes.ġ Colors revised in the Sonic Art Assets DVD.Įnglish text is written with Impress (the same font it used in the first game). The overall title screen is fairly different, but like the logo, it has the same elements, just dark. It contains most of the same characteristics of the final one, just with less colors and style.
