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.

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.

[@eljaminlatour6633]

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.

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.

Hidden palace zone reminds me of the Master Emerald Temple from The Sonic Movie 2

[@taniaribeiro6135]

Bro, some people havent seen the movie, dont spoil it!

@@taniaribeiro6135 sorry :(

[@taniaribeiro6135]

[@Chloedasher]

Maybe because that's what it's based on? This is the game the master emerald origates from

[@TorutheRedFox]

Zone ID 1 has the same ID as Green Hill Zone, so it's pretty much a blank space left by Green Hill after deletion and also Mirage Saloon uses a more detailed version of the Desert Dazzle background

[@Imfernolistico]

Gotta go Watch Tetra's video about Sonic 2 Lost Bits because I have been waiting for a long time Edit: I love the star background so much! How'd ya manage to get it in the video? Edit 2: The ? monitor was used in Sonic Mania's Encore Mode,which changes your charater(s)to random ones which you have.

Sonic seems better animated in this prototype than in the final game!

[@TheWeirdSonicFan]

That pinkish purple is not the only colour. I got for example... Pink. Yeah, just it.

[@Nicholaskgaming]

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.

[@Nicholaskgaming]

@@xamerk yeah but it looks weird

[@Igneeka]

It most likely is because we're used to his final walking animation

[@ahuman2791]

@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.

[@laharl2k]

talking about language barriers, luckily they didnt make a golden shower zone for a gold and gems themes stage.....genocide city zone, sand shower zone, seriously.....

[@PoochieCollins]

'Golden Shower Zone' would've been hilarious.

Sand shower zone wasn’t gonna be about gems and crap it was gonna be dust hill zone when it was going through a massive storm so yeh bye idiot

I am very late, but there is no "Dust Hill Zone". That is just a prototype name for Mystic Cave Zone, and fun fact: the scrapped time travel mechanic also had Emerald Hill Zone as the present, Mystic Cave Zone as the "ruined present" Hill Top Zone as the past, and Chemical Plant Zone as the future...

Why did Sega put Sonic 1 sprites in Sonic 2 Beta

[@STikER326]

Because Sonic 2 was made on top of Sonic 1, so there still was a lot of data from Sonic 1 in the beta

[@_Tzer]

and sonic 3 was made ontop of sonic 2 in debug mode you can use a item in angel island zone too see sonic in his sonic 2 sprites

As cool (and edgy) as the name “Genocide City Zone” is, that’s like naming a kingdom in Mario Odyssey “Homicide Kingdom”

[@waltmyman]

The Mystery box can be found at debug mode in the 2013 re-release of the game... When you break it, it will choose a random thing that a monitor can give you in the game and then equip it to you.
