Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Beta 4 for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis was released by drx during the February 23rd, 2008 proto release.
It has the same title screen as the previous betas, but with a 2 Player Vs. option added. The level select is the same as in the Sega Solid Gold Guide screenshot, but it has the final zone names for the title cards.

General Differences
- Level select is activated with
+ 
.
- Some of the zones that play after the Title Screen are still using the demos from the Nick Arcade/Simon Wai builds.
- This build also features a severely limited debug mode. Item placement mode is not accessible, nor is Sonic invulnerable. The coordinate display functions, however. Item placement mode can be forced using patch codes, but debug remains limited as the player cannot move in item placement mode and items can be placed once.
- Super Sonic is not accessible without hacking.
- The Spike bug from Sonic 1 is still present.
- Hidden Palace Zone is disabled in the level select. When hacking a savestate to access HPZ you get the same garbled level as in the final version.
