This is a sub-page of Proto:Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Genesis)/CENSOR Prototype.
Chemical Plant Zone#
- This is the final build to have hexagonal loops. They were changed to be fully square as running on them causes Sonic to die.
Casino Night Zone#
An unreachable 10-ring monitor is present in Act 2 below the ground near the start. This was removed in Beta 5.
Metropolis Zone#
- Finishing Act 2 takes you directly to Sky Chase instead of Metropolis Act 3. If you use the level select to play Metropolis Act 3 and then finish it, the game will take you to Aquatic Ruin Act 1.
Special Stages#
Significantly further along than September 14th, but still incomplete.
- Like the previous build, Special Stages take a long time to load. See the September 14th page for more info.
- Rings were removed at the end, as they flashed rainbow due to the palette change.
- After the first round of a Special Stage in 2-Player Mode, the "Most Rings Wins!" message changes to "Win Twice Win All!". This message was removed in Beta 5 for unknown reasons.
- The stages have different palettes to the ones used in the final, though the palettes for Stages 1, 3, and 5 were eventually reused for Stages 2, 5, and 7 respectively. These palettes are also in Betas 4 and 5, but the stages use their final palettes from Beta 6 onwards.
