I was playing Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on my Sega Genesis when I decided to see if there were any earlier versions of it. I managed to find a copy of Sonic 2 Beta 4 on eBay.
A look at the cartridge and I thought it was really banged up…well, anyway, "

One look at the level select screen and I noticed two things were different: One, it was the Sonic 1 level select; and there were four added levels: Wood Zone, Hidden Palace Zone, Dust Hill Zone, and Genocide City Zone…weird. I selected Green Hill Zone Act 1. Green Hill Zone loaded, exactly like it was from Sonic 1. The only thing different was that it was really glitchy. My explanation of this could only be that the physics for Sonic 2 were really off when Sega was creating it, and eventually stuck to Sonic 1, although it was a new code altogether. It was a garbled mess, and it took me around sixteen tries just getting through Act 1. I eventually got to the boss though, which was even more of a garbled mess and when I thought I hit it, it was just an illusion. When I beat the boss, I thought to myself, "Ok, Emerald Hill Zone is bound to be next, right?" Wrong. The next Zone to appear was Wood Zone. When I started the Zone, one thing struck me. Why the heck was the game playing the Metropolis Zone theme? From what I remember, the Wood Zone was supposed to play the 2P Emerald Hill Zone theme. Anyway, I spin dashed up the hill and glitched through the wall, and I fell to my death. Crap; what was the code for debug mode again? I reset the game and played through it again, collecting six of the seven chaos emeralds. The next zone was Dust Hill Zone.
I collected fifty rings and decided to try my luck at the special stage; Success. Although when the results screen came up, there was no "Now Sonic can be Super Sonic!" message. All that came up was "Sonic Got them All!" So there was no Super Sonic in this game? I was bummed. Instead of Dust Hill returning, I warped to Hidden Palace Zone. Strange, considering Hidden Palace was two Zones back. I rushed through Hidden Palace Zone Act 1, but when I got to the end of Hidden Palace Zone Act 2, this is where I got scared. I saw Tails tied to the Master Emerald. Sonic ran and rescued Tails right before Robotnik shot Tails. It said "Sonic Rescued Tails!" and Dust Hill Zone Stage 1 resumed. I still had my fifty rings, so I jumped and sure enough, NOW I turn into Super Sonic. I played through the rest of the game like normal, but Genocide City
It looked like a cross between Metropolis Zone act 2 and Chemical Plant Zone act 1 from Sonic 2 Final Version. There were no monitors except for the Robotnik monitor, the teleport monitor and the ? monitor, and they were placed in really easy to grab places, making this level excruciatingly difficult, and there was lava and spikes everywhere. The Robotnik monitor makes you lose all your rings, or lose a life, the teleport monitor warps you back to the beginning of the level, and the ? monitor can be either, considering the monitor gives you any item at all, at random. There were also and monitors as well, but they could only be placed using debug mode, and when I tried to hit them, an earsplitting buzzer noise played, like I was pressing a menu option I

I reset the game. Tails still
"You will avenge him"
Line 25:
"You cannot fix what you have done"
No matter how many times I tried to jump, messages like that came up. I just gave up and went to the end of the level. I jumped over the gap and passed the sign post, and this time I did the trick that let you control Sonic (run so Sonic
"黙って、まだであること あなたが彼を殺した ただ静かに あなたは、あなたが何をやったかを知っている 泣いてはいけない 彼はあなたが彼を救うことができなかった知っている カレブは、右? あなたはテイルスを救うことができなかった」ことを、ソニックと夢中だ。 テイルスは今あなたを嫌っている'."

ジェノサイド·シティtranslated to "Genocide City Zone." Great. I pondered over why this version had Japanese text. Then I thought: "Crud, I must have downloaded a Japanese rom." I enabled デバッグモー'ド', which as you all know is Debug Mode. I cycled through the objects, and this time my heart did stop when I saw the Tails Doll object. I had to check this out. I placed the Tails Doll object. He was exactly the way Tails looks, except that he had his eyes gouged out and his fur was dark grey, and he was oblivious to all that surrounded him until I exited Debug Mode. Tails and Sonic notice each other. I lost control of Sonic and he ran across the level by himself, and
私は神です。もう一度あなたの小さな青の友人とプレイすることになることはありません。It translates into "I am God." Then, the screen cut to black and something like the following picture faded on screen.
This screen really freaked me out. I
