Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Beta

The second prototype of sonic the hedgehog 2. most levels are complete apart from the lost levels : genocide city zone and wood zone. Metropolis is impossible to complete and the same with dust hill zone.

This video is pretty terrible, because I made it when I was 14. You can find me at SonicRetro, username Amethyst.

Due to legal reasons i am not posting a link to the ROM download.

parallax@live.co.uk if you want to discuss the ROM.

I wish they would have kept Hidden Palace......

I'll explain the music things.

As you may or may not know, Sonic 2 was built off Sonic 1's engine. They basically pasted the new music over the old tracks. So this means that where S1's drowning music used to be, is Emerald Hill Zone's music and where the 1up sound was in S1, Death Egg Zone's music is. Obviously SEGA fixed all of this before the final release. Hope that wasn't too boring!

Also, I agree about Hidden Palace and Wood Zone!

cool, but this guy plays badly

Is the level select code in Sonic 2 the same as Sonic 1?

[KrazyScruffy9001]

Genocide City (later Cyber City) actually kinda did make it in: they used the layout for Metropolis Act 3, and the graphics were used for The Machine in Sonic Spinball

[godrugal1]

[TheSmashbros45]

why i like the prototype:

1. Sonic has smooth animation when he's running

2. hidden palace zone

3. Sonic bounces back off a wall if he runs into it with a high velocity, i really like that
