  • some times i start the game just to go ear this music, but the strange thing is, when i ear it, i imagine this level, a cave with green floor, waterfalls in the background and called hidden palace, and i can't remember see it in a commercial or something like that , i every time think this song is related with hill top, i don't know why, maybe is just my imagination.

  • @SalamanserDP description sounds like super castlevania 4 

  • This track makes me see little waltzing sprites... Gorgeous, but my visuals a bit perculiar :D

  • trippy ass

  • Er uh, 12 lol

  • 13 People Died Trying To Find This Zone...

  • The should put this Stage finished on Sonic 4 Episode II with a different name. Has unique unused badniks and i think its cool.

  • oh...

  • ~Fun Facts

    Originally, the level was meant to be played after collecting all the Chaos Emeralds, giving you the ability to go Super Sonic during the level and after everywhere else. An interview with Yuji Naka proves this.

    The music is 10 in the Sound Test.

    The basic idea was then used in the Sonic & Knuckles game.

  • @MegaRainboom i thought it was something like that. I tried my hardest to get all the emeralds (F.U. Tails) and when I finally got all of them I thought i would see the level :(

  • @iclelockel yeah the classic is the best but sonic generations shouldn't revolve on the classic sonic especially with both classic and modern sonic generations to me shows the timeline of sonic's legacy from good times to bad n although there were some bad choices for the game its still generous of sega to even make this game i do its still a good game but u can't please everyone in da sonic world

  • I thought in sonic genergations were just levels of sonic 1,2 and 3.

    then I bought it and found out it was not =(

    In the end ist is a good game. But it would be cooler if there were only levels of the old sonic.

    and PLEASE ! =D why did they take sky sanctuary for sonic 3 ? xD

  • @Ickelockel I agree, there so much nice levels in the classic sonic games and they put only 3

  • @Ickelockel Makes sense."Sonic Generations" reminds me of remaking the classic levels only.It totally doesn't sound appropriate for gathering levels from all of SONIC'S GENERATIONS,that sounds stupid and not faithful to the title...

  • @Ickelockel I know, right? Why the HELL didn't they put in Ice cap or Flying Battery! I would've preferred one of those. But Sky Sanctuary is pretty beautiful in 3D, so it wasn't a bad choice per say.

  • I found this song via sound test; It was probably my favorite song in the whole game even though I didn't know where it was played. I looked everywhere in every level for any secret passages or anything but nothing was found. It was a mystery for me until today.

  • @Dogolife Same here. I spent ages trying to work out where the song came from. It's such a lovely tune, I'm glad they kept it in the sound test but I also find it a shame they scrapped the Hidden Palace Zone level.

  • Is it me, or are all the levels taken out of Sonic 2 better than the ones they put in? (I mean seriously, if you had to choose, this or oil ocean?)

  • @pentherapy I want to ask you, what was your reaction right when you found out there really was a HPZ in Sonic 2, I always listened to the song in sound test wondering what it was. Now I randomly founf it on Youtube and was amazed to see that this was the only scrapped level that was worked on the most, but also sad that sega never worked on it again for a remake or something else.

  • Since SEGA is still making th rest of sonic 4 they have the chance to put this zone in that game. Beautiful graphics and everything

  • Wouldn't it be interesting if SEGA made a DLC for Sonic generations with a classic and Modern version of Hidden Palace?

  • I guess if they use this zone in Sonic 2 HD they could just say it was the original "Hidden Palace".

    Built to house the Master Emerald before the "gods" ripped half of Westside Island off and flung it into the air, creating Angel Island.

    The breakable emerald objects would be phonies used to confuse theives.

    Sounds like a feasable excuse.

  • @InsanimationStudios That like a good backstory for this hidden palace zone

  • When I was younger....I thought you had to beat the gane with Tails. That surely wasn't the case.

  • When I was a kid and heard this in the sound test I thought it was the music for the "sad ending" and wondered how you got it instead of the good ending..

  • This Palace was indeed Hidden

  • It was such a mystery hearing this song as a kid, in the cheat menu.  It always made me a bit sad, it almost sounds like the music you would hear if Sonic lost the battle and didn't blow up the Death Egg.

  • No wonder it's called HIDDEN palace

  • I wanna see this in Sonic 4 Episode 2.

  • I remember always listening to this with my brother on the sound test, confused by it because we never heard it played in the game. And know years later I know why. They should fix up this level and add it as an extra to the next sonic game to come out as something for the older gamers fans to enjoy and a 16 bit of retro history for the newer gamers to experience.

  • Comment removed

  • wasn't there a bonus stage with this music? The screen turns around and such and you hit those pin ball things that you see in casino night.

  • @RegularGamesPlayer Sonic 1 special stages are close to this.

  • @RegularGamesPlayer you're thinking of the one from sonic 1

  • i remember listening to the music with my sega nomad in the car. i never knew what this song was from when i listen to it. at least now i know :P

  • Art Decó typefonts!

  • The Stage that Never Was

  • it is cool that this is in sound test

  • Damn, this is depressing.

  • I think Sega should finish this level and put it in a Sonic 2 HD remake.

  • @Roman8707

    They should put it in the unofficial sonic 2 hd "S2HD" project :)

    That would be awesome.

  • @Roman8707 maybe Sonic 4 Episode 2 :O ?

  • @Roman8707 That's not being made by SEGA...

  • @Roman8707 They did.

  • @Roman8707 Too late. Only way now is to get the simon wai prototype.

  • @Roman8707

    I'm still holding on hope for a Sonic 1,2,3 HD bundle game for all platforms. I'd buy it in a heartbeat

  • In the sonic retro website I found a lot of classic sonic games, and about those zones you listed @1obxeclipsedriver The sonic 2 "long version" has them in there making the game even longer, sooo much fun!

  • oh ok now i understand! i have finished this game a bunch of times long ago and i was wondering why i didnt recognise this awsome song. But now i get it

  • I remember when my older bro beat this game back in the mid 90s, he acquired all the gems, and one of the clips in the ending, you see sonic and tales in the air n shit! chest out like they saved the world!

  • I wish all the levels for Sonic 2 had been included in the final version of the game. Since I don't have a Game Genie, I feel like I'm missing out on some good levels.

  • @1obxeclipsedriver There are other non-included levels?

  • @dziltener Dust Hill, Wood Zone, Genocide City just to name three.

  • @1obxeclipsedriver Play the hack sonic 2 long version :D

  • @eduanimefan I've actually seen videos of it, but just haven't GOTTEN it yet. I'm saving up for Sonic Generations though, so we'll see what happens in the future.

  • This is one of my favorite songs in the sonic series. Damn you sega for not completing it!!!!

  • no comment

  • I remember finding this song on the sound test entirely by accident and couldn't find it again. =\

    

  • you can only go here if u get all 7 chaos emeralds

  • If Sonic 2 came out right now, and I mean in late-ish 2011, people would still love it.

  • @MikeRoePhonicsMusic Right there with ya!

  • SEGA should use this again on Generations or Sonic 4 Episode 2! :D

  • I always used to think this song was Sonic mourning the death of Knuckles when I was little...which makes no sense

  • I found this music in the options of sonic2 when I was about 6, but never found the level that went with it - I was totally fascinated by it. Still comes into my head sometimes.

  • this is in the official version its art is completely gone and there's a tails monitor and requires game genie to get to

  • @pentherapy thats so awesome schools these days suck ass

  • @megamanxrulez261 I know!

    1993:" Dude, I swear there is this secret Sonic 2 level! Can't find it, though."

    2011 "Dude, did you hear, there is going to be the 17th Black Ops map pack. Im exited."

    D:

  • @R0BbAW3S0M3

    2073: "Grandpa, why did you play so many games about killing people and foreign terrorists? Didn't that ever get boring?"

    "Well son, have you ever heard the expression SHUT THE HELL UP BATTLEFIELD 3 BETA > MW3".

    "Grandpa... Battlefield 2073: Modern Black Ops of War has 7 DLCs already."

  • @Momentum139 Me in 2073: "HEADS DON'T EXPLODE LIKE THAT."

  • @Momentum139

    2080: "Grandpa? Did you ever hear about a game called... Earthbound?"

    "...*crying like a little bitch*"

    "Jim, we have a lot to talk about."

    ...

    "So, uh, thanks. And stuff. I think I'm going to go play Call of Duty 1337."

  • @gamegod9000 2100: grandpa? did you know that sonic the hedgehog 20, megaman 30, super mario bros 100 and legand of zelda 10 are coming out tommarow?

    (crying) i remember when sonic 4, super mario bros 6 and megaman 10 came out in the year 2010!

    ummm thanks but im going to play halo 10 now

  • @legorulez49 Uh... Dude? Not including remakes and alternate versions, Skyward Sword is Zelda 14. So unless you're talking about a remake of The Minish Cap...

  • @pentherapy Well, some secret agents of ours used to play Sonic games. They got through Hidden Palace on Sonic and Knuckles.

  • @pentherapy

    Maybe you knew about it because the music is still in the normal game? BGM selector

  • @DaRuckus Under a number? Of course it is. We all knew the song and we even theorised it must be from Hidden Palace Zone, because we'd heard the name elsewhere, like I said. Go ahead, boot up your copy of Sonic 2, or ROM, or whatever, and take a look. The zone's name isn't mentioned anywhere that's accessable in the game without screwing around with the code.

  • @pentherapy i think i have good theory on how this happened: the beta was shown at a toy show and someone at youre school might have gone to that and seen the game.then they somehow saw the level select screen and hidden palace zone. then they did level select in final version and didnt see hpz.

  • i remember when i was 4, seeing this stage once. it was weird, because it was a stage made of nothing but clouds, and you had to keep bouncing on them to get to the end and get all the chaos emeralds

  • i swear if it wasnt for time constraints some games would actually be better...like sonic 2 with this stage and music

  • Love this music. Soothing.

  • how can u get to this stage?

  • @sweetmelodymusicman5 it was scrapped... sadly. but go to sonic retro and look for sonic 2 long version! it'll have this and some of the other scrapped levels

  • The comments here reek of middle and high school scum.

  • it truely was hidden...in the options.

  • @charlien911 the only way of getting to this level was by cumin in your mouth

  • @EatMyWetJuicyTurd you wish :)

  • @charlien911 face it charlien u love cum in your gob

  • @EatMyWetJuicyTurd haha horny little troll :D

  • @charlien911 pull down your pants now so i can suck your cock with all the power ive got, mmmm your cock tastes so good in my mouth mmmm oh yeah baby boy...... x

  • @EatMyWetJuicyTurd horny troll o.e

  • @EatMyWetJuicyTurd Piss off. Nobody gives a rats ass about you, you inbred sack of shit.

  • this shouldve been a surprise level in sonic generations =(

  • @soniario12 Who knows buddy? It might be!

  • @soniario12 Maybe it is. =)

  • this sound like water level song

  • This sounds.. calming..

  • Um museu subterrâneo!

  • this theme song gave me the sense of royalty, mystery and sadness for some reason. it's a really weird mixture of feelings, but it works out somehow. i really love this theme, i gotta say it's one of my most favourite out of all the sonic 2 themes =)

  • @rockmanrulez89 Hell yeah, man. Well said. I've been listening to this quite a bit lately. For some reason it reminds me of "You Can Hear the Cry of the Planet" off of the Final Fantasy VII OST; the area where Cloud ends up burying Aeris in the lake. Nostalgia can hurt bad but yeah, its everything you said and then some. But the melancholy can be a nice, peaceful type of sorrow, if you will. Oh Nobuo, you Genius. And every Member of Sonic Team = Absolute LEGENDS.

  • @CellarDoor06 Aye Nostalgia makes you long for those old days. Back when things seemed better

  • @CellarDoor06 yeah nobuo is a genius, as well as the composers for the sonic team (michael jackson? lol) but those were in the past, now everything about sonic is just so....hip hop-ish, not that it's a bad thing though, but it just doesn't live up to the greatness of its predecessors anymore

  • Sounds like Golden Sun.

  • Pop-Fiction from Gametrailers brought me here

    Awesome music, really relaxing to me :)

  • sounds like some end of the world theme

  • How intriguing, and mysterious...wonderful music to a level that was so "Hidden", it actually "Never Was" at all...I'm sure I would have loved it. Every Gamer 25 or older has been there through some absolutely amazing times and I'm proud to say that Sonic will always mean a great deal to me, concerning my Childhood. Sometimes memories are so rousing, the nostalgia actually hurts. Long live the 90's Gamer!

  • You know what would be epic? If Hidden Palace Zone was in Sonic Generations with this music, but slightly remixed. I'm calling it now. =P

  • this song totally fits the confusion i got hearing it in the sound test lol.

  • I think all of the scrapped levels are better then literally every other level that was used. Especially Hidden Palace. That is my favorite Sonic level to be in any game, even though it wasn't in a sonic game.

  • This level should have replaced Hill Top.

  • @ElAullidoDeLaNada Espero que no sea odio contra ese nivel lo que tienes D:

    Estaba muy sencillo, y precisamente lo pusieron para descansar del resto XD

    Ademas, esos carritos eran adorables (:

    A mi me gusta HillTop tanto como Metropolis :D

  • @beleneka Hombre, en español! Es una gozada y un respiro poder leer/escribir en mi idioma por una vez :) Un saludo.

  • @beleneka Jejeje, un saludo desde Sevilla (España). Es una gozada poder leer y escribir en mi idioma, aunque sólo sea de vez en cuando :)

  • @ElAullidoDeLaNada jajaja, si, es un pequeño respiro, se teclea mas rapido (:

    Salu2 desde México!

    VIVA EL VIEJO SONIC! XD

  • im still on casino night zone and i never really beat the game,is this not in the game?

  • @Joeyc5499 You're right! This, Genocide City, and dust hill are levels that were removed. There is a Game genie code to actually play this zone (The code is: 'ACLA-ATD4', then you need to go to level select, and pick death egg, and you play Hidden Palace), but it's all glitched up, if you want to go anywhere, you NEED to use Debug mode.

  • Hidden Palace should be in Sonic 4.

  • 11 People broke the Master Emerald....11 times.

  • Favorite game soundtracks - Sonic 2, Tales of Symphonia, Morrowind, Oblivion, Heroes of Might and Magic IV

  • @AsamiFujihara lolol...nice. XD

  • @AsamiFujihara more power to you... also no need to hate on mario. a healthy competition is always good for buisness

  • @AsamiFujihara who do u work with and how would u have helped sonic... im just curious because the problem with working on sonic is that everyone wants it to be the original game but without it BEING the original game. i hate fanboys

  • @overlordss We just want the Classic Gameplay with New Levels Dumbass and another Dream would be The Genesis Gameplay being translated properly into 3D Gameplay(the closest game to this so far has been SA1)!

  • @AsamiFujihara i agree sonic has been down but he is not out. i like mario alot but sonic doesnt deserve the shit he gets. if sonic got a producer as good as nintendo (srry sega but 5 tries is enough) he would be right back on top and mabye even surpass mario!

  • @overlordss Yes Sonic Doesnt Deserve the Shit he gets its Sega who deserves it.I hope they Fire Iizuka and hire someone competent(but that's not looking likely ATM cuz Sega clearly doesn't care about the Quality of their Mascot they just use him as Cash-cow nowadays)!

  • YES!!!!!! I finally found the best song from sonic 2,imo. I remember when I was a lil kid that I was liked this song so much,while 2 of my older cousins liked the ending music better. Still tho,this song is cool shit!!

  • Now I see why they call it HIDDEN palace zone.

  • How do you get to this level?

  • @kermitcintronsucks

    You can't. This was originally going to be a level you play when you get all 7 Chaos Emeralds and you have to go receive the power to be Super Sonic. This level was scrapped due to time constraints.

  • @vizzed4life It's really sad, honestly, all of these scrapped levels, including Hidden Palace, that never made it into the final game. I actually really like the idea of going too hidden palace after collecting the 7 chaos emeralds, It just truly saddens me seeing all of the potential these scrapped levels had, but were never fully implemented into the game.

  • @vizzed4life ...was wondering why they did that...

  • @vizzed4life this would have been a kick ass level though

    besides it probably would have been scrapped because ppl waited around for no reason listening to this song, its catchy :)

  • @kermitcintronsucks you can technically access the level with a Game Genie but the level is just a mess of pixel.

  • I hope by some divine miracle from God, this level is put into Sonic Generations

  • @annouymess Lol the way it was being start out to be done in this game they should continue with the design. Probably they'll make it a secret level lol

  • gives me the shivers every time!

  • This music is calming..

  • i remember when i heard this song and i was like omg i have to hear it in a zone so i played and played and played and checked like everywhere :P i want this zone in the new upcoming sonic game but not remasted eh just keep the song ^_^

  • i want this zone in sonic generations...

  • 11 people broke the Master Emerald.

  • Hidden Palace is Osama Bin Laden's hideout!!! XD

  • @Gambito99100

    Hahahahahaha!! XD

    Good one! =D

  • @CrnSal Thanx, it'll be cool, you are playing the Hidden Palace and find him trying to bang the Master Emerald =P

  • @Gambito99100

    EWWWWWW....>.<

  • @CrnSal What did you think? Banging like sex? I said bang like KABOOM!

  • @Gambito99100

    OH! =O

    I'm sorry.

    it just...some of my friends says The Master Emerald is like a girlrfiend for Knuckles

  • @CrnSal Your friends are right, because it makes sense, Rouge likes Knuckles (she doenst like Shadow) and Master Emerald is Knux's girlfriend, so Rouge tries to stole it to Knux stop dating with it and start dating with her! Strange but its the true! =D

  • @Gambito99100

    I didn't know that?

  • @Gambito99100

    ...

    wow...The Sonic franchise really did turn to shit after Sonic 3...

  • @Gendo3s2k meh sonic adventure 1 and 2 were good imo

  • @Gendo3s2k correction.. after sonic 3(& Knuckles) came the fan-boys.

  • @Gendo3s2k I still liking Sonic, his games have story, music and a good gameplay, every Sonic game that I play, I like, the only one Mario that I like is Super Mario Galaxy 2!

  • @Gambito99100 go to hell mario fan just liking one thing that is hardcore mario, makes you a mario fan

  • @MegaNovaNation I'M NOT A MARIO FAN, because when starts the Sonic fans and Mario fans at my school I always go to the Sonic Team, I cannot find anything good in Mario games to people prefer that fat guy plumber, and, the most important thing, I think Mario is retarded, everyone says OH, ITS A PLUMBER, A PLUMBER THAT DRESSES HIMSELF IN A BEE COSTUME AND DONT BE AFRAID OF WHAT THE PEOPLE'LL THINK, and I say OH, ITS A HEDGEHOG THAT IS FASTER THAN THE SOUND AND HAVE MORE THAN 3 LIFES!!! XD

  • @MegaNovaNation And another thing, the first Sonic games can look like a copy of Mario, but in the next 10 years, I'll never see Mario travelling in time, driving a super mega fucking awesome car, turning into an werewolf and climb a great stone statue to fly and hit the eyes of a dark dragon to destroy it, fighting with a dark knight and a dark queen, do a fusion thing with Luigi, and running down a great elevator from space to Earth that is self destruction itself before get eated by a void!!!

  • @CrnSal Oh god so funny.

  • @Gambito99100 LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

  • @Gambito99100 Not anymore, muahahaha.

  • @FLCommsWest KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK­KKKK good one!! XD

  • Comment removed

  • This was only playable in the Japanese pre-release...only a handful actually saw this zone in full. It's before Oil Ocean, 3 Zones long and it's even harder than Metropolis. The boss is a bed of randomly uprising spines, one of which holds a switch Sonic hits with a spindash...10 hits to win. You dont even see Robotnik anywhere in the entire area. Info from EGM Video.

  • Comment removed

  • It's called "Hidden Palace" for a reason.

  • The Best music!

  • i remember when I took my laptop to school one day playing sonic 2 long version. When people saw me play this level they were like "wtf why does this sound familiar"

  • If there was a recreation of this song I would die of happiness. I would always go the sound test just to hear it.

  • You can really dream away at this music, it doesn't sound like anything special yet it is...

    Oh Hidden Palace Zone, how much mysteries do you contain?

  • Why did you remove it sega? WHY? Should of removed Hill Top!

  • @twibkidx

    yeah they should've removed the one that no-one cared about!

  • Nope not fellin it -_-

  • game used track number 10

    player is confused

    player used game genie

    has no effect

    game used death egg

    player falls and dies

  • This should've been in the Sonic 3 & Knuckles Hidden Palace Zone

  • @KesterStudios This should be in Generations. One can hope...

  • How do you get to hidden palace zone?

  • @MegaKid1999 Can't. It was removed from the game, but for some reason they didn't remove the music.

  • @gamingfreak2 So how can you hear it? Is it in the credits?

  • @RedLink27 They forgot to take it out of the sound test. :)

  • @gamingfreak2 Errr... Oh. ;)
