Hacks

Variant #1

Variant that removes the Sega logo and jingle from the introduction, though the screen still fades to white. As a result, some (but not all) frames of Sonic's introductory animation do not show, although it is still possible to make out the S, E, G, and A letters in some frames. The copyrights from the title screen have been corrupted.

Variant #2

A more successful attempt at the above(?). The Sega logo and jingle are removed, as is the fading to white, meaning the game starts mid-animation with corrupted graphics where the Sega logo used to be. The copyrights from the title screen have been mostly removed though some traces remain.
