This article has a talk page!This is a sub-page of Proto:Shadow the Hedgehog.
A demo for the PS2 version of Shadow the Hedgehog was included in the March 2006 issue of the Official US PlayStation Magazine. The build date of this demo is November 7, 2005, which is nearly a month after the final PS2 build of the game was compiled. Despite that, there are some leftovers of earlier stages of development.
Debugging Content#
URA Stage Select [Ohmura senyo]#
Watch on YouTubeThe same debug stage select menu from the GameCube Trial Version can be accessed here by pressing R3/Circle on the title screen. Unfortunately, it's also broken in this demo, as the code for loading into stages is still missing and will crash once you select a stage.

Unused Graphics#
Path: CSDFILES/TGSTITLE2.SNCP/TGSTITLE2.TXD/001_TGSmenu
Contains a stage select screen, with Hero Partners and Difficulty shown on the four stages in the texture. Notably, this demo only has the files for the test level (STG0000) and Westopolis (STG0100).
This texture appears to be a leftover from the real 'TGS Build' which has yet to be found/dumped. A Japanese version of this menu is used in the earlier GameCube Trial Version.
