In the earliest video of Heroes, the help symbols for flying have a wing on them. In the final game it's replaced with the word "FLY".

Submitted by: Rlan

Although difficult to see, the background 'Fly' icons are just like the above picture, with the wing icon. It also has 4 of them, where the final has 2.

You can see here that to the left there are some dash hoops to get to the top section. In the final the crates on the left are missing, and have been replaced by a breakable wall with a spring within. The e3 demo had even more changes, with the dash hoops replaced by by rainbow score hoops. The 'Fly' icon is also like the above image

In this image which was in the second batch of released Heroes screenshots there are a lot of changes. Firstly, there are 4 'Fly' icons in the background. The final only has the bottom two.

Secondly the first fleet in front of you shows 2 red flappers and one green. The final has two red flappers and a balloon.

Heres a screenshot from the final game, as you can see, the icons and green Flapper have dissapeared.

The screenshot above also shows in the distance a second fleet, with 3 green Flappers. In the final there are 3 Red Flappers and one green Flapper.

Here is Team Rose, going through Seaside Hill. However, Team Rose usually starts much further down the level track, the first beach area. You can also just see the multi coloured score rings in the far background, which were in the E3 demo with Team Sonic.

Team Dark are floating to the final segment of Seaside Hill Zone. But wait a minute, Team Dark don't go this way! Darks route is blocked off in the final with some springs dashing them through the blowhole of the whale island, here they're taking the early Team Sonic route, seen in the Sonic E3 Demo section.

Here Team Dark is going through an early version of Team Sonic's Seaside Hill level. You can see in the far distance that the second wave platform is up. In the final Team Dark level, that'd been wiped, instead with two smaller columns to get to the next section. There are also 4 'Fly' signs in the distance.

This area is entirely different for Team Dark in the final game. Their section has a whole load of pillars with Eggpawns ontop in this section, as well as a cannon at the end. This is from an early version of Team Sonic's level.

Either a glitch, or just an early shot, but the Eggpawn lifebars do not have their speach bubbles surrounding them.

Team Chaotix are near the Whale Island, fighting through the long tunnel, but in the final game they don't reach this area! They're final section is the area at the bottom of this page.

Just after that tunnel is this arena with several Eggpawns and a cannon, which the Chaotix can also not reach.

During one of the long, early videos of Sonic Heroes [viewable in the movies section of this site], a lot of the levels were shown with different characters, but with Team Sonic's level. Here Team Chaotix is about to smash through some walls, but the same area in the final has two pedestals at the side to collect a hermit crab on.

Submitted by: Rlan

This picture shows 3 lines of rings, which are in Team Sonic's level, but the final has space for a small bit of platform and a Hermit Crab.

Team Chaotix are beginning the level at the earliest part of Team Sonic's level, but in the final they begin about 30 seconds further down next to a loop.

Submitted by: Rlan

A few seconds later, with the Chaotix running down a section they usually can't get to.

Submitted by: Rlan

This is where the Team Chaotix level is meant to finish. In their level there is a flower at the end which would transport them back to the start to find more Hermit Crabs, but the bit of land which pops up in Team Sonic's game is there, so they can get further.

Submitted by: Rlan

A little further up is a similar situation. Chaotix cannot get here in the final game.

Again, Vector is taking down Eggman robots in a section they usually can't access.
