  Chunks

• Sonic2 MD TomPayne Metropolis1a.jpg

  Early Act 1 map. Has diagonally slanted rotating steel drums. Very different from final. Only two things seem very similar to final; the general positioning of the starting area, and the short downward ramp leading to a flat area with the end sign.

• Sonic2 MD TomPayne Metropolis2a.jpg

  Early Act 2 map. Has giant crusher. Very different from final. Aside from the immediate starting area and an area with a half-loop leading to a ramp in the top-left, almost nothing recognizable remains.

  Another Act 2 map.

• Sonic2 MD TomPayne Metropolis3a.jpg
