Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a side-scrolling platform developed by Aspect Co and published by Sega for the Master System and Game Gear, released before the 16-bit version for the Mega Drive / Genesis. Jean-François was able to find a few beta-screens (Game Gear version) from an old magazine, in which we can notice some differences in the HUD and in an image with Pib Badnik: in the final it’s a boss in Gimmick Mountain Zone (one of the last levels) but it appears here in a sort of Green Hill-alike level (with differents palmtrees) and with Robotnik at the same time!
Thanks a lot to Jean-François for the contribution!

Do you mean that the “thundery zone” was removed from the final game?

The Thundery Zone is “Sky High Zone” and it was the second level in Sonic 2 MS/GG

In the first image, Sonic is off-centered. This never happens during the game, except in the boss’ screens.
