Those empty level slots could be used in conjunction with debug mode to make your own Sonic levels much like Super Mario Maker!
with debug mode it would most likely show glitched assets, cool concept though
And you can play them and you can play others creation but then people will just be making hell holes of creations
Cybershell sure sounds different today

yep
@Notcooldude Gaming I respect your opinion. However, I enjoy Cybercell, and I think him "landing in a volcano" is a bit overkill.
sega ... look at all these cool scraped zones
*PLEASE STOP USING THE DEM GREEN HILL ZONE FOR THE MILLION TIME*
Haha no kidding
I think the Wood Zone, had it been more developed, might have been a more original starting point for a Sonic Game.
Since then I think pretty much all Sonic Games begin in a grassy ish and or coast-like stage.

Concept art of an early map shows what the unused Simon Wai stage IDs would've belonged to:
Zone ID 01 - Ocean Wind
Zone ID 03 - Sand Shower
Zone ID 06 - Blue Lake (later overwritten with Wing Fortress)
Zone ID 09 - Rock World
Zone ID 06 is Tropical Plant. Not Blue Lake. Even Blue Lake is not here because out of room
@@nathanielhermanson6987Tropical Plant would be in the slot that Metropolis act 3 is, as it's the only zone that uses 2 different level IDs
You can still get Tails's name listed as Miles on everything in the game. On the title screen press up 3x, down 3x, then up once. You'll hear a ding, and in everything from the options menu, to his lives counter and the end of stage messages, he'll be listed as Miles. Just a little treat for everyone. This works in all versions btw, Genesis/mega drive cartridge and remake.
@@ryanatorgamingroblox It works in the remake, so it's likely to work in Origins
It’s in the mobile ports too! just press the sega word backwards (ages) and everytime anything has tails it’s replaced with Miles.
as someone who's used sonicretro since i was like 11, i came to this video expecting the absolute best. sonic 2's beta development was documented super heavily on retro. i absolutely love how you went into intricate detail on the betas. you really didn't skip out at all! i'm impressed. it's like the beta pages put into a video! surprised you didn't mention how in the earlier betas when tails took damage it took out your rings.
Thanks ! Yeah there was alot, so it was difficult to cram it all into one video, but I think it turned out ok!
@Connor And BLA23 Especially now because a prototype was found.
@@TetraBitGaming
@@TetraBitGaming the earliest prototype is from febuary

TetraBitGaming: Talking about Dust Hill
Gameplay: Mirage Saloon
Dust Hill: B-brother?
*Later on Dust hill was revealed to be Mystic Cave's original name
And also I think Dust Hill was in CD sonic but than sonic mania
@@idkdude1350 desert dazzzle
Dhz and Msz: B-Brother?
@@notmorg no it wasn’t, does mystic cave look like a fucking dusty hill to you?
The fun part is that extremely early Sonic 2 development featured time travel elements (which ended up being used for CD since they were both co-developed in the same timeframe). At the time, the Hidden Palace was meant to be the place where Sonic would head to in order to time travel.
I remember when a bunch of us threw in to buy the Nick Arcade cart. Best $300 I ever spent lol. We didn’t even know it was going to be that early of a build. We were expecting a build newer than the Wai build
Btw I was the one who found the Super Sonic palette in the Wai build. Hard to believe it’s been almost 20 years since I found it.
@LocalH Wat-
lies, the thing was sold to drx for 1500$ in 2006, a prototype preservationist and the person behind the hidden palace site
and, anyone even wai could have found that palette
@@cay7809 you know that person bought it due to what was considered ‘crowdfunding’ back then? a bunch of ppl in the community chipped in to buy it - where do u think that 1500 came from? certainly not that own persons pocket, especially in an era where george w bush was on the last two yrs of his last term - if you dont recall the economy sucked. if the US economy sucks so does everyone elses, basically. that’s why a lot of rare items started to surface in the 2000s and again in the 2020s - people were/are broke and know they can get their rent payment out of this old game on their shelf that they’ve been waiting to sell at the ‘right moment’. websites were expensive to run back then as well - dude couldnt have chipped out $1.5k worth of his own pocket money. the original commenter is telling the truth.
@@bradpity yeah, but this guy claims to have it despite it not being his

Green hill zone 2 act 2
Why?
Green hill zone 2 (emerald hill)
The one that everyone forgets about but it has awesome music and beautiful level design
Green hill zone 3 (hill top zone)
The one that Has really good music but is forgotten about every single time you play sonic 2
And it has ok level design
New Funky Mode
Green hill act 4/5
15:43
The purple screen almost is synced with the music perfectly.
Appearently the "faster" running sprite in the prototypes has been combined with Sonic CD's Super Peel-Out sprite to produce the max speed running sprite for Sonic in Mania.
9:55 more animation frames would have had no effect on performance of games at that era. The benefit to reduced animation frames is storage. Also having one set of animation at a high frame-rate compared to other animations is a little weird so it could have been a choice to make all Sonic's actions more consistent - but cartridge storage is the main thing it would have changed.
I don't understand why they didn't choose to use an 16megabit cartridges other games that released the same like streets of rage 2 used it and sonic was more important to Sega than street of rage 2
That Sonic laughing sprite is a thing of nightmares. Ugh
That shit scared me more than the hidden message in sonic CD
TheLazyKirby57
You're acting like the hidden message from SCD was scary. It was intended to be a joke, and even with US soundtrack it isn't scary.
Sonic.exe eat your heart out.
Omega The half skeleton
What is even the meaning of your comment?
@@marx4538 it used to scare me. But now i find it kinda funny
I heard that the reason why you get a pink screen in Final Zone in the Nick Arcade prototype of Sonic 2 is that progressing further causes the game to look for the boss function but since it couldn't find the boss it results in a crash.
3:45 I don't think anyone will read this but.. I bought that game for my Genesis when I was young (in 2008 or 2009?? I guess.. I was 6-7 years old when I had my Sega Genesis) and I was really confused because I saw videos on youtube with Tails in the playable zones, special stages... the one I had didn't even have the Multiplayer mode!! :(
When I told this to my dad back then (he knows about these kind of things tho) he told me that it was maybe a demo! not a full game, and I was fine with it.. the only problem was... wich demo it was? becuase there was nothing like the mine and it was... weird... so well.. I forgot about it until now that I am a teen XD I'm happy to know I played that game but without knowing I literally touched history
I read it, so just know you are never forgotten by the internet.
@@Rose-zo1oo aww♡

Holy shit, good eye!
TetraBitGaming you clever little clover
Oh my god. TetraMemeGaming
What i dont see anything wrong here i guess i missed somthing feel free to woosh me idk whats going on here
Poland?
That's where my uncle is from!
*Good Country*
I remember how he went back for that event. Just to see the early sketches. He is a die-hard Sonic fan.
Polska najlepsza :)
Յշ
I am polish and a big sonic fan like ur uncle
This is clearly surprising to see that Sonic's animations in the early prototypes so fleshed out!
Sad we didn't had those animations as a final animations TwT
But great video!
13:57 I noticed when you went down the pit instead of dying, Sonic appeared at the top of the zone, which means the top and bottom of the zone are connected or they loop.
That's actually used in the design maps of several levels to make them appear taller than the game can actually handle.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio I think the same trick is used in some sonic 3 levels too
@@superpokemonbros.9441 yep, examples include marble garden and ice cap
@@cay7809 wait remember in the sonic 3 vid how people hacked the game to make the almighty the all powerful Genesis play the prototype lava reef zone can't we do the same thing here for hidden palace zone
So is this another Sonic 2 Bonus Video? Okay.
SarcastTM who hasn’t been seen in a couple months...
@@hadescloudy8906 He's gone back into 9 year hibernation, until the Sonic 3 bonus video
When is Sonic 3 bonus video coming out?
Hmmmmm he sounds familiar
where is that sonic........ threeeeeeee bonus..... vidyyyoooo?????
Simon Wai... the man who started it all! The definitive Sonic prototype game.
20:12 LoL, they still went with the Genocide City Zone naming. Imagine their faces when everybody from Poland saw the word "Genocide"
Let's bring politics everywhere in!
Cyber city: ...
Genocide city: let’s talk about that.
•-•
I saw that and I'm from Poland but still I don't know what's going on
What
2:51 Kinda reminds me of W.D. Gaster from Undertale once you touch him and his pupils appear.
I thought I was the only one! It almost feels like Gaster’s face was based off of this, altho idk if Toby Fox knows about Sonic as much as he does earthbound to be able to add in such an obscure reference
Now that you mention it, i see it too!
12:08 dear... god. What has robotnik been doing to those innocent flickes!?!!!
I’m pretty sure both of the balance animations were in the final version, depending on how close to the edge you were. There was also a third for if you were facing away from the edge.
Really interesting to see how the game developed before release though. Thanks for the video.
20:17 "Rock World Zone" Is actually the past and Winter Version of "Sand Shower Zone", that explains the fact that when entering the Zone "Sky Chase Zone Soundtrack can be heard in the background. Sky Chase Zone`s Soundtrack is Christmas (Winter) Based.
11:22 5:37
Looks like the platform uses the same green cubes from Hidden Palace. Probably an unused platform for the stage.
Tetra:lovely isn’t it
Ova sonic: am I a joke to you
In a cosmic sort of way, yes.
15:14 *THIS IS FINE*
*IM AWARE OF THE THINGS THAT ARE CURRENTLY UNFOLDING*
Hey, awesome video. Definitely a refreshing take on the history of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 which has always fascinated me. I have a copy of the Simon Wei cartridge from the early 90s myself and am always exploring and discovering new things on it. Something else worth mentioning; other than the obvious changes in zone music, there are subtle differences in the audio of some of the classic zones, for example: Casino Night Zone has a slightly remixed theme and, to be honest, I prefer it. If you haven't already, give the Simon Wei beta themes a listen. Although a lot of people associate the HPZ theme as the one you played in the video, in the beta, the Zone uses the MCZ 2-player track. Another interesting note; when you collect 100 rings in HPZ, the music track changes from the MCZ 2-player track to the Death Egg Zone track. Plenty of other weird and wonderful things about the beta!
Sooooooooo...
Dust Hill = Mystic Cave
Sand Shower = what we thought Dust Hill was

In my opinion sonic 2 has one of the most fascinating development history of any video game

18:28 Fanmade ROM Hack that includes every scrapped zone: "Am I a joke to you?"
It’s weird that in all the prototypes, Tails has his final design
@Jamie Vankirk no need to be ignorant and rude
what they are saying, is that is surprising tails design was decided very early on development and not a single thing or sprite was changed to him
Not the jump.
@Alexis Eronmwon True.
Love to hear the SMB bump and coin sounds in a sonic video!
All this stuff in a SONIC 2 cartridge...
Mind Blown!
Make Sonic 3 & Knuckles lost bits, or sonic 3 alone lost bits or sonic and knuckles alone lost bits.
sonic 3 and knuckles would make more sense but make it a 2 parter
I love your vids! You deserve way more subscribers!
Sorry, I’m not a duck.

Thanks !

10:57 I've been seeing this dude wrong my whole life. He is a dude standing with a right claw and a shield in his left hand.
Every time I've played this game up until this very point, I thought it was some odd insect creature with a bumper for a butt, then a torso section, then a beak of sorts that's low to the ground. If you try to attack him, he shifts his butt out in your direction.
7:33 that monitor is used on versus (and gives you a random thing)
What's the surprise? We all know that!!!!
Do sonic 3 lost bits plz like if agree
I agree
That video could be 6 hours long honestly.
More like 5 minutes. There's literally almost no lost content besides the early intro in sonic 3 and some pictures which are pretty cool but still. Lesser content than sonic 1 probably
They have prototype too
cwaanf Actually if you check the TCRF page, there’s quite a bit of unused content.
sonic 2 best game all time ever made
i agree but why the fuck are you everywhere
Dio “ why the frick do I keep seeing you everywhere” Drando
Sonic 3 and knuckles is better
wtf i see you everywhere
Nah I think VR chat is better jk
The mystery monitor was used in the final game, but in multiplayer only. Its function was changed to swap the positions of player one and two in the stage.
EDIT: I'm actually going to have to correct myself here. There is a separate icon used for the function described above (swapping places or teleporting). The mystery box contained a random effect in two player games only.
17:48 - And then they reused that name in Sonic Advance.
Genocide City obviously is the best zone in the whole series.
so u like metropolice 3?

15:14 Now you know Sonic takes a bath in lava.
Luckily Genocide City was just a mistranslation, and they changed it to Cyber City before scrapping it.
It wasn't a mistranslation. They chose the word because it sounded cool and dangerous. They just didn't understand the connotations.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio True, mistranslation isn’t exactly a good way to describe it, it was just a misunderstanding caused by their lack of English language knowledge.

i was just waiting for you to mention the broken green hill zone
7:42 YOOOO I THINK THAT HAS BEEN RE CREATED IN SONIC MANIA OF THE ICY SPRING OF PRESS GARDEN ACT 2 THEY RECREATED IT
Wrong timestamp
I love the sonic 2 bonus video
Wait a second
Wait,you’re telling me this isn’t the sonic 2 bonus video?
Its a cybershell reference
2:00 it is playable on the Nintendo wii!
Yeah, that’s the actual game, not the autodemo.
14:10
The reason final zone always crashes is because the game is trying to load the boss battle but when there is no boss that can be loaded, the game gets confused and crashes.
2:51 - "Unlike Sonic I don't chuckle!"
5:38 hey that fireball is in the debug menu in the mobile remake. (Don’t know if it’s in the original though.)
Not only did Sonics Early walking animation look better, Sonic also had a different character design if you look at his spikes and eyes
That’s true. Sonic’s eyes faced the screen.
It looks like shit
It seems like they were trying to shoehorn the mohawk design into this game, which I don't mind because there's just a certain charm to the design
The hitting the wall animation looks great!
Sonic seems better animated in this prototype than in the final game!
Isn’t genocide city can be found in the final releases level select
Boltx and ultra sonic It is, but when you load into the zone using the Level Selector, you just fall through the zone.
WAIT GENOCIDE CITY ZONE WAS REAL?!
Yeah. It had nothing to do with Genocide thougj
Yes it is
HAHA I LIKE TO CALL IT CYBER CIT-oh some people call it like that lol
Uh yeah it was it's really well known
But it was not playable
11:38 when you get a cramp nearer to your leg:
2nd game into the series and they already making references back to the first one less than a year after it came out XD.

I prefer Sonic 2's final walking animation. The early version's looks pretty weird not gonna lie...
But the running animation should of been kept in, it looks so fucking cool.
@@xamerk yeah but it looks weird
It most likely is because we're used to his final walking animation
@NicholasKAnything They did this to reduce lag. Although, they could've kept it because it doesn't make much of a difference framerate wise. At least on an emulator, idk about actual hardware running the rom on a flash cart of some sort.
Go go go gotta fast
Sonic is not about going fast. Hes about momentum. Speed is a reward for understanding the game
the early running animation for sonic makes a return in sonic mania
11:48 tails gets yeeted
5:58 CHEEKI-BREEKI!
CHEEKI-BREEKI!
5:41 the grey thing and that fire ball is meant for chemical plant zone and the bouncy one too
2:51 Y'know, I would say that I'm the first to realize what those lyrics meant in Knuckles' rap ("Unlike Sonic, I don't chuckle"), but I imagine others have made the connection as well, alongside how these sprites have, since the AutoDemo's release, been nicknamed "Chuckles the Hedgehog".
