No, the ‘Start Dash Pack’ is only a pre-order bonus, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to unlock the Background in-game. Pre-ordering the game unlocks Mirror Mode from the start and offers a different letterbox background. Among those are additional character animations in the menu.

You need to pay $3.99 USD extra for the Premium Fun Pack to only gain most of the options found in the Digital Deluxe Edition (set at $44.99 USD). The real sting here is that many extras in Sonic Origins have been shaved off. However, it can be forgiven when you consider that the price amounts to each game costing roughly $10 USD each. The base game is already set at $39.99 USD, which seems like a lot for four games from the Sega Genesis era. Ahead of the game’s launch we got a tier-list of DLC for the game, which broadcast the intention of locking out features to all but those willing to pay extra. Like a looming shadow over a sunny picnic of chili dogs, Sonic Origins has many of its elements siloed away behind a pay wall. But Sonic Origins could have been really special, if only it didn’t trip before the starting gun. I knew Sonic Origins - to be as successful as Sega wanted - needed to be something more than another dreary compilation of 16-bit hits. Oddly, even as my bitter rival pummeled me into blue mulch, I couldn’t help but to feel that old joy again. I figured I would play through the Sonic classics again one day recalling my Saturday-morning-cartoon halcyon days in attempt to briefly forget the realties of bills and taxes. But there I was, mean-mugging my former foe as the penultimate final boss fight of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 began. You know, I didn’t expect to be face to face with Silver Sonic once again after more than 20 years.
