Localisation comparisons

The Sonic 2 Mega Drive cartridge is not region locked, however playing on a Japanese system changes a handful of small details in the game for the localised audience.

It is said that Yasushi Yamaguchi was not keen on calling his newly created character "Tails", prefering his pun on "miles per hour", "Miles Prower". The name "Miles" already turns up several times during Sonic 2, such as in Casino Night Zone and the animated background menus, but in the Japanese version, most cases of "Tails" are surpressed. Switch to Japanese, and it becomes Sonic and Miles, not Sonic and Tails.
