The beginning of Act 3 shows us a pink flower, and the rock in front of Sonic is exchanged with a spring in the final.

A few seconds after, with the same pink flower.

The area exists, but the Shield monitor is gone in the final.

This Crabmeat badnik isn't there in the final, also there is a pink flower in the background.

Here is an image from a old French "Mega Force" magazine. Other than the "ring" difference, there is a purple flower rather than green, the sky is much darker than it should be [however, this may be contrast], and there is a set of spikes on top of the platform, but in the final they are not there.

This is from an advert from the game, with the "Ring" error.

The HUD says 'Ring', and the background is a little different due to the speeds.

This boss of Act 3 still seems very much the same, this version still says "Ring" though.

Merely the "Ring" status is different here.
