@Son1c Ha... Good luck with that...

Game preservation especially in Japan where this prototype came from is patchy at best and a large chunk missing at worst (a large amount of Sega's work during the Saturn era is missing due to failed hard drives or entire Japanese mobile libraries wiped out). Plus with most of Japan not having basements or attics, storage space is rather limited. Sega moved their offices since and things do go missing on the move... It would have been long destroyed, either a ROM got flashed with something else like what happened to 1 Sonic Crackers build or just chucked away...

Besides nearly all of the Sonic prototypes were found either in the UK or the US from previews or QA discs (the so called Simon Wai Sonic 2 prototype came from a stolen cartridge and was copied either in China, Taiwan or Hong Kong, a few prototypes were like that such as Ninja Gaiden). The remaining ones came from SAMPLE or demo cartridges supplied to stores but the Tokyo Toy Show prototype was far too early in development to have another copy made.

@Dinoshi its a possibility we get it from somebodys basment/attic or from a rom (real rom not a hack)

We are never getting this prototype are we?
