Alright, what people need to understand about these "lost levels" is this, (Will be further updated in response to others. And yes lots of research went into finding all of this) All this gameplay is from sonic 2 , long version, a fan rom hack from 2004. *wood zone: sonic 2 (1992) was going to have time travel, later used in sonic cd (1993). so wood zone was the past version of casino night, NOT metropolis like many people think. only the first 10 seconds are "real" in the beta, everything else, fan made. so we never actually get to play wood zone, except for the 10 seconds of it in the beta, again the artwork is real, but it was never finished. this is the one zone, that was never completed. *genocide city: this basically became metropolis zone act 3. game play wise, it was reused for act 3. background theme wise, look at the machine level, from sonic spin ball (1993) that is what genocide zone would have looked like. the artist confirmed it himself. ALL OF THIS GENOCIDE CITY THAT U SEE, IS FAN MADE. so it got divided, metropolis act 3 is the game play, the machine level in spin ball, is the artwork for it. We don't really know why sega changed it. maybe the name genocide city made sega cut the name out , and turn it into metropolis act 3 instead. It was also called cyber city at one point. *Hidden palace: later completed in the sonic 2 mobile version (2013) you can also play the original incomplete version if u like which is also in the sonic 2 beta. most of this is fan made in this video, but it looks identical to what it would have been like. the point of this level was for sonic to go super sonic, upon going super sonic, the music would switch from mystic cave act 2, to this track 10 song. all this was of course cut. and only parts of it remained in the beta. sonic simply goes super sonic after collecting all 7 emeralds with no explanation given in the game. *dust hill: only existed in one magazine ad for the game. a mock up drawing if anything. from what i can tell, there never was a dust hill level to actually play. sonic mania (2017) made the level real for the first time, mirage saloon. They were planning to bring this level back initially in sonic cd, desert dazzle, but that was scrapped. *death egg: never existed. this is just fan made. We play in death egg zone in sonic and knuckles (1994) anyway so. sonic 2, just has the 2 bosses back to back, no death egg zone. People just assume because there are no rings in the final level, that maybe a zone was cut. There is no proof sega cut any level here. that is the full story behind these.

Genocide City Zone was supposed to be a single act, and was replaced with an extra Act for Metropolis City (which is why it's the only zone with 3 acts).

[@TheYoungVulnerableAnimeGirls]

Josh B and what a shitty zone to even have more than one act. Screws and fucking mantis badniks are the absolute worst thing in the game.

[@milkabutterfly]

Wrong, in the 2013 re-release Hidden Palace Zone is "hidden" in a pit and it has one act and a boss. But since in the original it wasn't complete, they decided to give Metropolis Zone one more act.

Technically, they based it off of how Scrap Brain's 3rd Act is under Labyrinth. (Recolors) And by 'technically,' I mean from a technical standpoint.

[@Triad3Force]

As a kid listing to the Hidden Palace theme music in the sound test screen, it made my imagination run wild. We never knew where it was from in the game, since you never see a level where it's played. My friend Josh taught me about the level select screen and the debug code. I had so much fun with this game. Still one of the best ever made. Sonic 3 & Knuckles and it's epic story is my favorite game of all time I think.

Ok the Hidden Palace zone I played was way longer, had a different boss battle and used the music played in Dust Hill... Eggman played a big trombone that summoned spiked bombs that you had to dodge and avoid the explosions. Then he'd play again and a giant spiked bomb would fall, which you needed to bring under his vehicle in order to knock his vehicle down with the jet of water the explosion would make. Then you could hit him once or twice. If you tried to hit him any other time he'd dodge you by flying up. I actually found that to be the hardest boss battle in Sonic 2 because you really needed to pay attention to timing.

Aniket Bedade I know that. But with how much technology has advanced since the classic Sonic games, it's much easier to make a retro-style game that functions and plays just as well.

[@chillvibes375]

they just can't man. for whatever reason Sega had the magic touch back then. the controls, the music (especially sonic 3 wow) the atmosphere and the simpleness of these original sonic games is indeed too hard for sega to duplicate. sucks. I remember back in 1995 thinking sega would just continue to make sonic games just like this ....boy was I wrong lol I was living at the very end of sonics peak. he hit the peak too soon. Sonic sucks ass ever since.

[@Ireland914]

Blaze V. Yea... I completely agree. At least we'll always have the classics!

[@Nathan-ob2gh]

At least now they're trying to regain it.

These aren't secret, they are unused levels from sonic 2 beta, also most of this was fan made

[@Rage7800]

The level design is okay, The bosses just suck, And Death egg is just chemical plant in space. . . . Yeah, could of had a lot more effort put into it.

[@jiazji]

You're profile pic fits In with your comment :3

[@FAZEDIE56]

Rage7800 these are unfinished beta levels from Sonic 2 that got scrapped

[@woofyou1186]

They were unused and unfinished

[@omarpikm2101]

explain 3:39

[@ritaandrunt5767]

I love how these scrapped zones have the themes of emarld Hill zone mystic cave zone and casino night zone from the multi-player mode of sonic 2 all except for hidden palace zone and death egg zone witch is literally just chemical plant zone but in space

[@aryinc]

''wood'' you like to enter this zone??, then just go to the option menu of this om hack ;).

[@Merkes91]

this game is the beta version?

[@IjigenTheHand]

no

[@justmatrix8964]

No. In the beta, Wood Zone is very unplayable without debug, Dust Hill is actually Mystic Cave in the beta, Genocide City is completely empty in the beta, and Hidden Palace was close to finished but Sega started removing Hidden Palace at Beta 4. The beta im talking about though is the Simon Wai prototype

[@MoniceBeaksUK]

Wood Zone Boss was Aquatic Ruin Boss Dust Hill Boss was Emerald Hill Boss Genocide City Boss was Chemical Plant Boss Hidden Palace Boss was Mystic Cave Boss

[@themasterofgaming8187]

I would have liked all these levels in the game but Sega has its reasons

[@fork-nosefilms8544]

Hidden palace was official in the iOS version

[@michaelwilliams7140]

Fork-Nose Films I know right! It's so cool! It doesn't have the same function but it's a nice touch!

[@user-wl5jd2zs3l]

Fork-Nose Films And android.

[@sonicthehedge]

To you all complaining that "this zone" is a copy of "a zone in the game" those zones were replaced because of..Woods was a boring and Aquatic Ruins was better and more creative. Genocide city got replaced by chemical plant because it was too creppy for younger peopleDust hill was removed because it was considered too hardIdk why Death Egg zones 1 and 2 got removed tho

[@Acceleracers7]

G. City actually was renamed to Cyber City later on, but since it was so similar to Metropolis they just made it Metropolis act 3.

[@piralnaut1799]

When you realize "Wood Zone" is Knothole

[@thinkingmouse2751]

"Genocide city" That seems a bit counter intuitive

[@jenniferbarangan1502]

Producers of Sonic 2 though that "GENOCIDE" was a cool word and used it. It was changed to CYBER city and GENOCIDE City got scrapped and never got used. Oh yeah and in the Japanesse version "GENOCIDE" city was named CYBER CITY. They also changed the name DUE TO the defintion of the word "Genocide" thank meh later

[@6die9ne]

@@jenniferbarangan1502 they still used *death* egg tho... _genocide_ and *death* mean pretty much the same thing except *death* is the term used when or after someone dies, and genocide is used when someone commits murder and causes *death* and makes someone die

[@pauldavis5665]

Everyone complaining about these levels, these were the unused levels that were cut from the final game and a lot of them were not even finished (which is the reason for the reused music and bosses). If they had more time to develop the levels and finish them they would have been better.

[@manimanistatue]

You really should have clarified that these are all fanmade.

[@tapfever7102]

Hidden palace is real, and it is different from this one. I played it, trust me.

[@ginito35759]

Nathan Risdog Why the music is in the sound test >:(

[@Nathan-ob2gh]

Gino Arevalo Quispe I assume you mean Genocide City zones music. It's also Casino Zone's music for 2P VS.

[@ThatSmartYoutubeUser]

Genocide city zone- basically a city being genocided, while calm music plays in the background.

[@thunderboltgaming1038]

All of these levels are fake. Some idiot must have heard the level name and jut stole a boss re-modeled it then made a stage based off of the name.. The only one that's real is Hidden Palace because its a secret in the mobile sonic 2 but even here it uses the un-used music but to be fair this was made before Sonic 2 Mobile. Either way these were not the original designs for the level. I bet the person who made the fake Genocide City dosent even know the backstory about its name.

[@drekyl1117]

ThunderboltGaming You don't even have evidence that it's fake, these are all unfinished levels that SEGA never implemented, and hidden palace was remade by Christian whitehead for the mobile port.

[@thealandude9146]

ThunderboltGaming another thing well genocide background and the other sprite is real

[@funthymes3868]

All of these levels were real. They never got released in the final game because of time constraints, difficulty, and other such obsticals. Dust Hill Zone closely represents what it was advertised for. I am not sure if Wood Zone is close or just a concept. I never knew that Death Egg Zone Act 1 existed until now. But Genocide City on the other hand is absolutely no where near the concept art SEGA had for it originally. They are very real zones. They were concepts for the original Sonic 2 but most of these are similar versions to what they could have been. And for the other "replyers," you don't need to attack them. Just correct them and move on with your day no one needs to get in to a cyber fight with someone they don't know.

[@thealandude9146]

How 'bout you?

[@thealandude9146]

It should be called Cyber City after all actually

[@_eesports]

Death Egg (the one showcased in this video) is basically CPZ with a palette alternation, a different background, and slight level changes.

[@dv9360]

Interesting how the bosses here are pretty much the same as Aquatic Ruin, Mystic Cave, and Emerald Hill.

[@superemojigamer1324]

Extra unused zones. This is what they really are. Wood zone is the past of Casino Night zone. (Which is my favorite zone) Dust Hill, never existed. Though Sonic Mania as a Dust hill zone, Mirage Saloon. Genocide City, it was reused for Act 3 of Metropolis zone. Hidden Palace, it was used for Sonic 2 mobile edition. But you can play this incomplete version. Death egg zone (with acts) never existed either. We get the real one at Sonic 3 and Knuckles or other ones. This will help if you don't want to read the research guys comment. Thanks for reading. Edit: I liked my own comment because nobody will maybe:( How to play this is, go to search bar on any website. Then type in "Sonic 2 beta" click a link then boom. Your there. I hope this helped also. No it's a code in level select. I'm an idiot. I hope this helped for the last time.

[@ninjamaster9094]

Since a lot of people don't seem to get it, I'll explain. These are just prototype levels, that's why they're in the extras and not in the main game.

[@IjigenTheHand]

Not extras,FAN MADE STAGES on a FAN MADE ROMHACK
