The Sonic 2 Beta Wiki
Welcome to Sonic 2 Beta Wiki. This project is the updatable version of The Sonic 2 Beta Page, the site dedicated to the archival and research of prototype versions of SEGA's video game Sonic the Hedgehog 2 made for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.

In addition, the contents of this project will be used to periodically update the main static Sonic 2 Beta Page website as more information is found and elaborated upon.
