This
image depicts Green Hill Zone in its very early stages. Most
noticeably different is the background. Instead of a nice backdrop
filled with greens and so forth, it has some big mountains.
Sonic sprite shown is also different, a tad skinnier as well
as a pose not seen in the game. The level is also set at night,
rather than day.

This
image is fairly similar to the above, with the mountainous background,
but there is also a sign in the level. It says, "Welcome"
with what we think are Japanese characters under it.

This is an image of Sonic riding on top of Eggman's wrecking ball. This is from the very beginning of act 1, so the ball must have been one of the first objects you encountered.

One
of the main prototype thing sbaout Sonic 1 is at one point it
would say "Ring" instead of "Rings" in the
top left. Here's one of them, basically every picture has the
same alteration in them.

Here
the player is using debug mode to wander around as a ring. Also,
the background at this point in the final game is different,
possibly meaning the scrolling was once at a different speed.

The
enemy that Sonic has just hit isn't there in the final game.
Also the final has an invincibility shield instead of a life.

At
one point in development the sunflowers had a pink centre in
them, but in the final they're green. The happy ending of the
final game does have one pink flower though.

This
loop-de-loop has an invincibility shield ontop of it, but the
final has a shield instead. The same area also has different
background section due to the speed in scrolling.

From an old French Magazine, ZikZak has found this old image, Other than the "ring" change, Sonic seems quite off the middle of the shot, so this may be a production "painting", showing what the game would be like, or Sonic's somehow been able to be faster than the camera.

In
the final game there is a rockTo the right of Crabmeat, and
the item at the bottom lift, whateer it is, isn't in the final
game.

Again,
"Ring". This version also has green flowers, so it's
further in development.

All
that seems to be wrong is the "Rings" bit, the background
seems a little blander as well.

Eggmans
giant checkered ball from the first boss of Sonic 1 was originally
an obstacle in the game, which Sonic could ride upon. Also the
picture says 'Ring' in the HUD, and not 'Rings' like in the
final.

Heres
a picture of Sonic passing Act 1, but notice how he's about
to go into his 'launching' pose, seen in the sprites section.
