Fast Facts on the Sonic The Hedgehog 2
Official Name: Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Dubbed Name: Simon Wai's Sonic 2 Beta Leak Date: December 1998 Serial Number: GM 00004049-01 Version: 1.54

Simon Wai's Sonic 2 Beta, or commonly referred to as Sonic 2 Beta, is a mid production/prototype and promotional build of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 that was released on the internet in December of 1998 by Simon Wai. The ROM contains many unfinished and unused concepts, objects, and levels that were later removed from the final game or perfected down the road. Unfortunately, due to the state of the ROM, many of the levels are incomplete or otherwise impossible to play without the use of Debug mode. Originally, this game was thought to be the earliest prototype in existence, but this was later proven false in November 2006.
