Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (arcade game)From Sonic Retro
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was one of the games adapted for release in arcades for both the Mega-Tech and Mega Play hardware. The Mega-Tech version is essentially the same as the Mega Drive game. Cheat codes still work and the two player mode and options screen are still present. Also, like all Mega-Tech games there is a time limit on how long the game can be played and high score table on the top screen. The time limit can be increased by inserting quarters. The Mega Play version has a number of differences from the Mega Drive game but less than the Sonic 1 Mega Play version did. Cheat codes cannot be used as the Options menu is missing. The two player mode selection is missing as well. 1-up monitors are replaced with 10 ring monitors. All Zones are present unlike the Mega Play version of Sonic 1. Special Stages are also missing and when passing a checkpoint no circle of stars will appear. Although no emeralds can be collected you will automatically receive the good ending when completing the game. There is also no high score table. The time counter on the HUD has been removed completely.
