  • Nice, I love how you extended the length to actually enjoy the song

  • Pretty music, and pretty good-looking level as well.

  • alot of people might hate me for this but i hate this music but not the zone.

  • Beautiful music and level. Favorite game EVER, ALWAYS. Wanna walk up to SOA and slap 'em for not letting Sonic Team finish the game. Wanna reward Sonic team for not deleting it and leaving some behind. My life's goal: to get Sonic Team 92 to finish the cartridge so I can play one last time on my Genesis.

  • 1. Game Genie: ACLA-ATD4 (if you have an early version (00) it's ACLA-ATDR)

    2. sound test: 19, 65, 09, 17

    3. A + Start on 1 player

    4. 01, 09, 09, 02, 01, 01, 02, 04 on level select sound test

    5. Hold A + Start on Death Egg zone.

  • There's a reason its called "Hidden Palace."

  • I think hidden palace was before oil ocean

    I did the cheat debug etc

    Spawned a capsule broke it did zone 2 which is exactly the same as zone 1

    and when i did the same in zone 2 it warped me to oil ocean

  • sounds like a...bell?

    a car?

    no it sounds like...!!!!!

    sonic's fails.

  • the music for this stage is in the game but the stage is not

    I don't get it?

  • @SONIC29210 Basically when the level got scrapped it was deleted completely from getting accessed.But they must have forgot to delete the music.So thats why you can hear it in the in game sound menu.But the level is still there in the games code.Thats why with a certain hacked rom of the game you can play this level.

  • This level is still in Sonic 2 but u need a game genie and sonic 2 game cart and look on the internet for the code you can get to this level but it is all glitched up but the music is still the sm :)

  • EXTEND THIS FOR 100 HOURSSSSSSSSSS PLZ

  • ok, if they had kept this level in Sonic 2 I may like Sonic 2 a little bit more than I actually do, but as it is, Sonic 2 remains one of my least favorites in the Sonic series, I wish that Sonic Team would've recycled this hidden palace zone music for Sonic & Knuckles instead of re-using the lava reef zone act 2 music for it.

  • makes me drowsy... must finish... essay....

  • Oh, yeah! It's wonderful! :)

  • This song is just soooo beautiful! If only SEGA would've put this song on the Hidden Palace in Sonic 3 and Knuckles, than everything would've been better...

  • 10 thumbs up and ill create lyrics for this. Wait no, scratch that! I'm gonna make lyrics for it anyway! :D

    They will be for my Fursona Storm :D

    Ill tell the story in the description

  • at );17 i always think of the words,"Your still breathing T-T"

  • Robotnik and Eggman disliked this video....I think

  • @PixelationMusic same person, different name. Try saying something like "Robotnic and Mario disliked this"

  • @gamerman3434

    I know they are the same but they don't FEEL the same. I miss the old days with Dr. Robotnik. I'm not a fan of Dr. Eggman.

  • @PixelationMusic, Robotnik and Eggman are the same guy...

  • Gametrailers did a great video on this level in PopFiction

  • Be sure to upload a europe version! Oh wait.... I'll do that.

  • Why did SEGA remove this level? Why?! =( In Sonic 3 it sucks! i tried it at the Sonic 2 delta hack and it was better than the Sonic 3! SEGA should remake Sonic 2 with this level in it!

  • This music (in my opinion) would fit a scene where you're exploring your house during a late-night power outage.

    But still this is pretty fucking awesome.

    The first time I heard this in the sound test I was going insane trying to find out where this song actually plays.

  • hidden palace: so hidden even sonic cant find it

  • Thumbs up if you want the Hidden Palace zone in Sonic Generations!

  • is there a download for this?

  • Hidden Palace Zone was so hidden that even Sonic couldn't find it

  • Aah...this music is great. It's very soft sounding and yet...so sad. I dunno, it gives off sad vibes that seem very different from the tracks in the game. It's wonderful in its own right, yes. But it gives a depth to the games that seems...different. I like it that way though. I wonder what effects it'd have made on the loose storyline if it were there.

  • I'm getting minish village vibes.

  • I could hear this allllllll day. who else agrees?

  • Huh... it sounds like a song I heard in a Zelda game. Pretty damn epic.

  • I find it amusing now I think back on it. The original concept of Hidden Palace was as a stage that Sonic got transported to after collecting all seven Chaos Emeralds in order to activate Super Sonic. An idea that was brought into Sonic 3 and Knuckles after collecting the Chaos Emeralds to begin unlocking Hyper Sonic.

  • Now i know why its called Hidden Palace Zone. It was never found.

  • @tigerhawk84 Yes cuz the europe consoles are slower.

  • Comment removed

  • man how this song is soothing and yet has a hint of eerie-ness in it

  • If I Were Imaging This I Can Image..Underwatever Sewer Cave With Sparkling Rock+ Beautiful secery With waterfalls Just In REAl Life

  • put this zone like exact in sonic generations so we can all finally play this zone without a hack :P

  • @rickster397 Its not in the game. Sonic retro hacked the generations demo and found the stage list, boss list, and practically everything about the game. I wont tell you though incase you dont want it to be spoiled.

  • @mast3rsword64 aww that sucks :P

  • This music is relaxing to listen to. Its a shame the stage got removed

  • My good friend is a father (being only 21 like me) and has a 1 year old daughter. When I see him I need to drive out. One night at his place we were chilling watching TV when his gf was putting the child to bed, all of a sudden I start hearing this song. I asked him what is that, he said that its a new lullaby his gf got from a friend. I started laughing alittle, he asked why, but I said don't worry about it...for I knew the truth about this "lullaby".

  • @seeker724

    hehehe, you shoulda told him where it was from XD

  • I think it woulda been funny to have this for a stage in Sonic Generations. But they chose Chemical plant, which is just fine by me.

  • Hooray,the extended version!

  • This palace will never be found in competition. Shame, beautiful music for a beautiful zone

  • To get here you must have all obtain all chaos emeralds before Emerald Hill Act 1 starts while licking your genesis while making a massive dump in a toaster

  • @twibkidx Sounds about right lol O_o

    Any specific toaster? Sega Toaster?

    When the bread pops out: SEEEGAAA!

  • Just sounds better the longer you listen to it...

  • 2 people smashed their Genesis over frustration of finding this place.

  • When my homeschooling days get stressful, i just pop down and listen to this for a while. It helps a lot.

  • Comment removed

  • I love this song from Sonic 2, it's so relaxing and calming.

    This song is so beautiful!

  • Someone should do this song on a ocarina or something

  • removed to sonic & knuckles :(

  • Track #10 in sound test

  • sonic disliked this video because he couldn't find this place

  • @Gregory2590 don't forget tails could'nt find it either soon knux will forget where it is too

  • somone should finish making this stage

  • I remember playing this song in the Sound Test as a kid, thinking this must've been the theme to some medieval castle...

  • Comment removed

  • I always felt like to watch DragonBall Z after this track :P

    Good Gaming Memories :D

  • for some odd reason this song was stuck in my head so i decided to play it lol

  • I sometimes wonder why SEGA kept this in the sound test. And if you have Sonic 2 the number for this is 10!!!

  • This is the BEST 2-D Sonic game EVER!!!!!

  • Is there a secret passage of some sort to this stage?? since ive never bin there, but this is defenitly the most beutiful song from sonic ive ever heard!

  • @TheKnorrhane Technically speaking there is. You need a Game Genie and the game cartrage itself, not a remake on any other console. Using a code you can look up online in the game genie, then doing the level select code ingame, you can warp to the Hidden Palace zone (or whats left of it, the code for it was 99% delete from the final cut of the game) it's basically a big glitched out pit of water, you end up drowning every time. But it has the original splash screen and music.

  • This doesn't sound at all like I remember o.0 and I don't really care for it.

  • who ever disliked this song is a tard, this song is so epicly beautiful and dont see why they deleted the stage D:

  • I remember as a kid, trying to find the associated level and or scene in Sonic 2 for this. Beat the game with Sonic and Tails, Sonic only, and Tails only, tried different approaches to beating the game (Not getting any emeralds, getting all, getting some), basically any way I could as a kid. I never understood it until a few years ago with Internets. Always did love to listen to this. Never knew how Sonic 2 seemed so rushed this, Wood Zone, and Dust Hill Zone got axed with some others.

  • I remember progressing through the Casino Night Zone and then the game momentarily glitched while I was in the slot machine and the music changed to this track and carried on through the rest of the game, until I reset.

  • @JazSung you are a pretty lucky dude. i never played the game much, but if that glitch happened to me, i'd definitely be happy about it.. as this is my favourite song

  • @smujohnson Tbh, I was a kid at the time and I knew nothing of glitches. It creeped me out that when the music kept on playing through the the next zone, I switched the game off and watched some TV.

  • @JazSung I thought I was dreaming, but the same thing happened to me! I thought it was an easter egg or something.

  • @Thewoog349 Easter Egg?! BAH!! I didn't get no chocolate! >=(

  • No wonder it wasn't in the game, sonic could never find it. X)

  • @mrLman64 It wasn't even the Hidden Palace Zone, it was Very Well Hidden Palace Zone, thats why it's so hard to get to.

  • @IvonoftheGWF ah, very true. :)

  • OK WHOEVER DISLIKED THIS VIDEO COME HERE NOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

  • 100 likes and 0 dislikes!

  • This should have been the Mystic Cave theme

  • It sounds so sad :I idk why

  • This could be danced to; Kind of reminds me of Egyptian or something

  • you can sort've remix this to "Are you going to Scarborough Fair?" LOL

  • if ur with me and want this song just go to video 2 mp3 dot net and paste the video on there. THEN YOU CAN LISTEN TO THIS LIKE CRAZY!!!! you can do this to other youtube videos, too

  • 0 peaople got pwned by knuckles... wait, what???

  • I liked how the stage was removed, but the music was still in the sound test.

  • @demomanchaos

    Its still in there, but its alot more glitched up thab it was originally

  • @demomanchaos She stage didn't got completly removed, there is a Game geany code to allow you to play it. However, the whole level is gliched up, and you really need level select.

  • how could somebody get to this level?

  • @pochazet I got there, You need a Game Genie and a certain code to get to it though, it was quite interesting, but it's so glitched up you can barely see sonic.

  • 0 dislikes...that has to count for something!

  • im going to micspam this mp3 in Left 4 Dead 2.

  • Despite it not being in the game, Hidden Palace Zone was still the most popular.. xD

  • use mp3 converter. i just got this as an mp3 and i might share it with the world or micspam it in Left 4 Dead 2.

  • wish i knew the reason they scrapped this level. the music makes it sound like it would have been some seriously epic awesomesauce

  • @baconater96 they scrapped the level because they felt it didn't fit with any of the Final levels. in the end they just Made Aquatic Ruin.

  • No matter how you slice it or dice it, you cannot grasp the true form of Sonic 2's Hidden Palace Zone.

  • @vizzed4life NOT EVEN GIYGAS CAN GRASP THE TRUE FORM OF HIDDEN PALACE!!!!

  • Oh my God I listened to this for 6 minutes straight before noticing I was listening for too long 8D

  • anyone know how you can play this level? ive seen many a video on youtube of people playing it, how?

  • game genie codes or Genesis emulator

  • one of sega's masterpieces i think if Hidden Palace Zone was released, it wouldn't have been as famous as it is today.

  • This song sounds so sad..

  • Wow ... when I was a child, this music gave me chills ... and I seek for a secret level or something just to hear that music in a level.

  • If this level wasn't deleted or the re-used this music in another sonic game I would vote for this music to be in Brawl.. but then again would it fit in Green Hill zone?

  • this is also the music for the final version of robotnik at the end of the game i think

  • I wish they hadn't removed this from Sonic 2; This would have been an awesome level to play!

  • mp3 plawkz?

  • love this.. i cant get enough, but sometimes i do... i wait a long time to here it again then i cant get enough of it again.

  • We are gathered here today to say our farewells to the sonic2 beta ashes to ashes dust to dust we burry the sonic 2 beta under the earths crust!

  • They should've added Knuckles in this zone.

  • what Sega should have done with this is added it as a bonus level when Sonic gets all 7 Emeralds

  • A drenched, shining cavern... Let the crisp, clear waters put your mind at ease and fill you with solace as you continue on your journey. Don't rush through, you've worked hard, relax and enjoy this pristine palace...

    An attempt at a level description if it existed?

  • @MrRenard7785 it sure is

  • @MrRenard7785 Oh my god, the mental image that description gave me combined with the music made my eyes water with joy. :3

  • @1234567890moomoo Well, thank you.

  • they should really have put a level in for this, i would have liked to see an official one.. too bad =/

  • Beautiful song. I want it to be played for my funeral.

  • I think that in a later sonic game they actually make this level and put in this music

  • sonic kai you could enter this level on the final of sonic 2 but you need game genie lock on cartridge to do so and its corrupted from the bet version though :( awesome zone sad it was scrapped :(

  • can you debug to get this stage?

  • yes, download sonic 2 and gens and enter this code in the game genie: ACLA-ATD4, then start the game open up options press up at the title screen twice and play sounds 19,65,9 and 17 in that exact order in sound test. If you hear a ring sound you did it right. When the game starts you need press A and Start (on gens its A and enter) then play sounds 1, 9,9,2,1,1,2,4 in sound test there and choose death egg (hold A+Start) It will start hidden palace although its nothing more than a green glitch.

  • I could send you a download that features this stage in the game, no lie. That is...if you have an emulator.

  • let me guess sonic nick arcade build??? or simon wai proto??? xD

  • Neither one, though I do know both of them.

  • @JT7721 the extended one??? or the sonic delta???

  • Extended one.

  • @JT7721 you should try sonic delta series it fixes the beta hidden palace to a full level :)

  • This Song Cool

  • This song sounded different from the rest of the music I think, younger years I remembered hearing and wondering why I didn't see a level for it; in all it is beautiful yet very sad sounding. One of my favourites in the song selection area. Thank you so very much for the upload on this wonderful beat :3

    Live in love <3

  • @NamiNeko888 was it weird for me to think this was connected to getting the 7 emeralds?

  • Sometimes this song reminds me of Rivendale in Lord of the Rings.

  • this tune sums up the "Sonic 2" that could have been

  • No, it was a level which they didnt ADD in the game due to Time Issues, which is a shame since it is a very nice level. It is only avaliable on download from ROM sites, look about chief you'll find one

  • well i gotta be honest i was a huge sonic fan when it was all new, i was like 6 or something lol.. And i always loved this level music in the music test section of the options, i jus figured out that u needed all the emeralds to gain access to this level but appearently not.. Thanks for the info, it was botherin me for years esspecially since i jus started to see ppl playin a sonic 2 level ive never been on lol..

  • @Lix198606 you need the game genie cartridge and add this code to the cheats in game genie ACLA-ATD4

  • Real shame. Loved the look of this place, especially the bridge that glowed when you ran across it.

  • This place was where the Master Emerald was sleeping. Could've been awesome if it was finished, then came Knuckles.

  • Actually, that "Emerald" was meant to be a breakable object, like the rocks in Hill Top Zone.

    And Knuckles is awesome. Don't deny it.

  • I guess I was a prototype for Sonic 3 because when you complete the hidden palace zone, you get a perfect bonus of 50000 just like the bonus stages of sonic 3

  • meh they still should have included hidden palace no excuse to half ass things.

  • Yeah, I mean, making the rest of the game must have been SUCH a pushover...

  • Dude, they ran out of time...

  • they could have delayed it

  • teen minets of epicness

  • Why did they cut the levels out? Was it only intended for Knuckles if you play sonic 2 and Knuckles???

  • knuckles wasnt thought of then

  • Ok then why was the levels not on the final product???????

  • nobody know but sega

  • I looked up the info and the beta was stolen from Sega and posted online.

  • there is still corupt data on the final copy

    using the game genie code ACLA-ATD4 nad using the level selcet go on the death egg and it show you whats left of hpz

  • It would had made more sense to release it later on down the line or include the levels in later games as with fixing they are rather good.

  • They would have lost money for advertising it for the holidays. The least they could have done was finish the stages and re-release it a few years later.

  • dr robotnik not eggman sorry but i hate when people say eggman

  • im with you on that

  • you can say that again

  • i could sooooo see sonic just sitting around hidden palace just to hear this song (when there's no danger from eggman of course)

  • hidden palace?

  • they could have took out Metropolis for this level. or squeezed it between Aquatic Ruin and Casino Night

  • All the sega classic games should be remade into 3D. Not really any good Sonic games goin on now besides unleashed.

  • You know, I bet would sound even more fantastic if someone played it with real instruments, like a violin, bass guitar and drum kit

  • definatly. they should have someone like the Eminence Orchestra do it.  that would be something id love to see.

  • SECRET LEVEL! NO WONDER! I used to listen to this on the sound test and I was royally pissed when I never got to it. What's the deal behind that anyway?

  • Allegedly it's because they split up the original sonic 2 into sonic 2 and sonic 3 and possibly knuckles?

  • @TheMadLiteralist no, they split sonic 3 into sonic 3 and sonic and knuckles, but sonic 2 was standalone.

  • @robokill387 They did also have a Sonic 2 & Knuckles. You unlock the game on the Sonic Mega Collection disk. It's so cool playing as the Echidna for that particular one.

  • @JT7721 yeah, but that was not originally intended. it was just added in.

  • for some reason this music reminds me of the oracle series in zelda

  • But this music is from a deleted level, right?
