So... Sky Chase doesn't end properly... Sky Fortress also doesn't end properly... Death Egg Robot seems to be malfunctioning, and the Special Stage is a barren, endless prison. Neat.
Shadow Special stage looks like a circuit instead of the usual long track. Notice how it loops and loops as if it were a racing game. I have no idea but to me maybe that was their original idea, maybe even race against someone from the badies.
@@laharl2k I'm wondering if it was maybe like the Chaotix Special Stages; it just keeps looping until you get the needed number of rings to move on, before time runs out.
I told you; We're in the realm of posibility of getting a Sonic 1 prototype during this event; Look at these two Sonic 2 prototypes! What if they're saving the best for last? I can't wait!
The chemical plant bug can probably be explained by too many sprites in ram on load, so it replaces some. Also the missing score counter is likely because devs didn't want to wait when testing after completing each level
What an anti-climactic ending. Robotnik's ship won't start. His long-lost evil twin appears out of nowhere, and to add insult to injury, _his_ robot gets stuck during the final showdown. Sonic feels sorry and leaves the ship. They don't even get any ominous music playing in their Death Egg! A sad day indeed for the Robotnik family.

They wanted that stage to stay "Green Hill Zone" for the longest time, but if you think about it, "emerald" is just a shade of green. Technically the stage is still Green Hill Zone. 🤔
Do you have a link maybe? 🙏 There were probably hours worth of "fanboy VHS" footage for a very similar proto, with jitter, wow&flutter and 50 Hz speed for a better emotional effect xD but I can't find anything all of a sudden...

The description is wrong, mystic cave was never going to be called dust hill. Developers have confirmed there was originally going to be a desert stage
Dust Hill was the original name for mystic cave considering they went as far as to make a title card for it, Sand Shower Zone is for the desert mock-up level.

Looks like this is just a bit newer than that Spanish VHS build, most things match except for the lack of Hidden Palace.

Green Hill: The return
Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (2.00.950) (Sep 14, 1992 prototype) (Prototype RC) (Release Candidate).
What happened to the background level start? It kinda looks like Sonic 1!
Earlier prototypes show Green Hill zone in Sonic 2, so it is always possible they used the Sonic 1 level start as a placeholder.

This Sonic 2 prototype doesn't show the words when you've completed the act or defeated the boss.
Well, at least, Tails doesn't lose rings here.
Major differences
Some title cards are glitchy.
It was only a title card before you begin the level.
Title screen is different like in the Nick Arcade and Simon Wai.
No Score Tallies.
You cannot complete the game.
Metropolis Act 3 is not playable.
When you completed MZ 2 it sends you to Sky Chase.
Wing Fortress ending cutscene is extremely different.
Sky Chase and Death Egg plays WFZ music.
Oil Ocean STILL plays the CNZ 2P music.
Death Egg Final Boss that you cannot defeat him is going fast and then frozen.
Metropolis Act 3 is actually fully functional, like the past protos. Not sure why it's normally skipped, though.

So SEGA was trying to reuse the Green Hill for the second game?! I think SEGA was a mistake company that likes to reuse their own music and old zones.

Are you stupid? It's like that because it's an unfinished game, of course it will have weird and reused placeholders for it.
