    Hidden Palace was originally intended to use what eventually became Mystic Cave's 2P theme, but the decision was later to make it use the unused theme instead.
    This can be seen even in the final game, where if you force the game to load Hidden Palace with a Game Genie code, the unused theme plays in the background

      And in mobile version with special code you can enter to "Proto" Palace (as I know name not changing). And unused theme plays. But if you enter without code,you will be not able to enter or you enter to classic Hidden Palace (if it can be named classic,because its literally reworked)

      @@Skiazo_chu That's possible, but it's also possible that the unused theme was intended for a Super Sonic cutscene in HPZ with Mystic Cave 2P playing in the main level, back when Sonic 2 was supposed to be more cutscene heavy (which might also explain why the demo version of the former didn't loop)
      The HPZ theme was probably changed once they decided to scrap the cutscenes and also implement 2P mode

      You know why I think it plays the unused HP music in the final version when it's loaded up is because what if there is an undiscovered build of the game dated between the August 21st and September 14th prototypes that probably contains a more "complete" version of hidden palace that instead of playing the mystic cave 2P music, it plays the track that was intended for the zone?

    Even if not meant for Sand Shower specfically, I still think Aquatic Ruin was definitely composed for a desert level. You don't put the first half of the Good, Bad, and Ugly riff in there expecting a level made of 50% water.

    • @G-Cole-01

      Considering that Sonic 2 apparently was originally going to have time travel mechanics, akin to Sonic CD, it could be possible that Sand Shower is the present form and that Aquatic Ruin's music was composed for a past version. (Or, Oil Ocean zone in its entirety was the leftover of the future version and Aquatic Ruin's music was meant for the present.)

      That is right. But that same prototype changed most of the zone names.
      Green Hill - Emerald Hill
      Neo Green Hill - Aquatic Ruin
      Dust Hill - Mystic Cave
      Since EH2P and MC2P, especially EH2P would probably go on unused, they decided to change Oil Ocean to track 04, which definitely sounds more serious and more appealing for a mainline stage.
      The other tracks would be used in the two-player mode, since they could, and track 08 would be used as CN2P. Specially because of the instrumentation, which is definitely techno.
      But yeah. At this point, the devs just went with what worked best.

    Since the original game was partially inspired by the 8-Bit Version of Sonic 1 it isn't unlikely that Green Hill was indeed another version of the zone before it was heavily changed into Emerald Hill in latter development.
    Ocean Wind was inspired by Bridge Zone and might have served as the inspiration for Emerald Coast.
    Woods/Secret Jungle/Wood was inspired by Jungle Zone and it seems that it would have segments inside of its trees and maybe rivers as well, the idea for this zone gave birth to Mushroom Hill.
    Sand Shower was the first original level that we would encounter and it would have been the actual first desert-themed level of the Sonic series before its sucessor Sandopolis took its place.
    The difficulty of Metropolis was probably drastically changed for the last version of the zone.
    There is a submerged version of the Ancient Time that isn't talked a lot in which other versions of Hill Top and Blue Lake would have been featured, this version of Hill Top might would have acid lakes replacing the lava from the original while Blue Lake of this timeline might would have been the Blue Ocean concept art since it seems that the zone would take place completely underwater which makes sense for how the island looks on this timeline.
    Tropical Summer is probably the Tropical Sun concept art and it might have served as the inspiration for Angel Island Zone in Sonic 3.
    It's possible that Olympus and Hidden Palace are connected with one another for the story of the game rather than the latter being a sucessor to the other.
    Tropical Plant might would have had a S3 Launch Base-like appearance.
    Maybe Sonic 3's Azure Lake is how the original Blue Lake would have looked like.
    I don't know what or how Rock World would have looked like, some believe that the one in the Ancient Time is Winter Zone while the other in the Ruined Present Time is either Mystic Cave or Hidden Palace.
    Speaking of the Ruined Present Time, that is where Dust Hill appears over Green Hill on the map, I think that Dust Hill is actually Aquatic Ruin instead of Mystic Cave since it would put more sense as to why the zone was called Neo Green Hill at one point.
    Oil Ocean was going to be like a Bad Future version of Ocean Wind.
    There is no doubt that Madness Mountain was a zone planned for the Medieval Era and in addition I personally think that Winter Zone and Emerald Isle also would have been part of this era as well, with Winter Zone taking the place of Sand Shower and Emerald Isle being this era's version of Aquatic Ruin.
    I have no idea how the two Genocide Cities would have played out but I suspect they would have used the indoor and outdoor concept of Scrap Brain while also using anti-gravity concepts which we saw on the Death Egg in Sonic & Knuckles, speaking of the Death Egg as you can see by that concept art it was originally planned to be a long zone instead of just a boss room one.
    Another thing worthy of commenting about is how Sonic looks in that concept art, do you think that S2 Death Egg would have a special mechanic feature that would affect Sonic's physics due to him being in space and thus making it more difficult for us to move him around the zone?, cause I think it is possible since this would have been the first space-themed level in the series.
    Regarding Chemical Plant and Casino Night, they probably had their difficulty decreased for the final versions.
    The "Last Battle in Space" most likely would have Sky Chase and Wing Fortress playing the same role as they did in the final game.

      The submerged version of the Ancient time is actually the Medieval time
      Hilltop = Madness Mountain
      Blue Lake = Blue Ocean
      Tropical Summer = Tropical Sun
      There is something interesting and is that the concept map of Medieval time is blue, just like the time travel concept (the one that has Present, Medieval, Ruined, Ancient, Future and the last battle in space) indicating that they were at some time discarded before the game started to develop.
      The Ancient version of Rock World is Winter Zone while the Ruined version is the desert themed level mockup (Collision Chaos Radio explains it very well).
      Also Sky Chase and Wing Fortress were planned to replace Winter Zone and Cyber City Zone (because of the music)

      I think that we would visit the Ancient Time two times just like how I think that we would also visit the Death Egg two times as well, I've heard stories about the Death Egg being a mid-way zone and this matches with my theory that we would first visit the submerged Ancient Time and later on in the game we would come back to it but now with everything in its place.
      Maybe the first Death Egg was going to be the full zone that was originally planned and the Death Egg we know in the final version would be the second visit and the game would end in the same way, with Sky Chase and WIng Fortress playing the same role as in the final.

      The second Hill Top being Madness Mountain would make sense but I still think that there is something off about Aquatic Ruin and Emerald Isle being the same zone since the concept art of it shows things that don't match with Aquatic Ruin, but then again like I said things changed during development so yeah they can be the same zone.

    While I agree that the Sand Ocean music theme was Oil Ocean's final theme, I think the mock-up was for Dust Hill, and the Aquatic Ruins theme would have been the Dust Hill theme. I'm not sure if there's any actual art for what would have been Sand Shower.

  • @emreterzioglu2780

    It would be nice if you provided sources for anything. Like why unused track #10 is fake/theory for Hidden Palace. Or why Emerald Hill 2P is fake for Snowy Zone (who would even think that anyways). Also, adding in the special stage concept was pointless because A) the concept looks almost identical to what we got in the game and B) there's only one track that fits with the special stage concept, and that's the special stage music.

    Unused Track 10 really fits the vibe of Madness Mountain. Seeing how there is a little drawbridge in the concept art, and the music is medieval sounding (in my opinion), I feel like that this track belongs in Madness Mountain.

    Mystic cave not originally planned, "dust hill zone" is - early version of aquatic ruin zone. This is - second desert zone, which is - completly different from sand shower. When they decine to remove some zones - they hybrid emerald isle and dust hill into 1 level, and were got "neo green hill". They did it because they didnt have engouh time, top part of level is a - dust hill zone. Bottom is a - emerald isle zone. Now about your theory about madness mountain music, its - false. Real music of madness mountain is a - mystic cave zone. Casino night 2 player is a - original oil ocean theme. Hill top is a - original hill top theme. Id 10 is a - cutscene theme. Also you called ice level "winter zone", in fact: real name of "winter zone" is a - "rock world zone". Because at concept arts rock world is a - past of sand shower. Also were have concept art that shown that - past of "desert" is an "ice". You said that metropolis zone theme is - wood zone music. This is - false. Wood zone didnt got its own theme, music slot got unchanged from sonic 1.

If you talking about my comment by itself, im sure - you never see concept arts before. Or you just a - not trying to look at details. If you wonder "why i told that there are 2 desert zones, not just sand shower" i already told you reasons, but i have more. Aquatic ruin didnt appear at concept arts, even in "neo green hill" name. But dust hill did. Aquatic ruin music fits desert a bit too well. But were know that sand shower music is a - oil ocean zone. Simon wai layuot shown you that - this level not designed for water sections. Mystic cave have slowed down clown theme, its fits castle like zones. And also fits concept art of madness mountain.
