The Super Shinobi 2 [1992 Beta] is a The Super Shinobi 2/Shinobi III prototype made by Sega in 1992 that contains different stuff and gameplay respect final version.
It includes different bosses, unused levels, unused enemies, unused animations, different music, alternate ninjitsu, among other stuff.

In this video I show an unused (and disabled) music track hidden on the beta.
This track is closer to the final title music, "Shinobi", with some similarity to it.
For find it I looked for Music Locations in the ROM (this beta uses SMPS engine, the same as final), where are in $636F8, and I changed the first location data (00063898, He Runs with 0006A756, the song in video, so the location of this song is $6A756).
This track is unused and can't be heard normally in beta.
If you want to hear it, use an hex editor and make the same as I done.
Enjoy.
Wow, and I though that there is nothing under ???. And why creators would hide such things from themself in their own prototypes?
Anyway, awesome!
