Revision as of 10:07, 14 April 2018
The Nick Arcade prototype of Sonic 2 provides clear evidence that it was built off of Sonic 1... because it includes the original game's first stage!
It is believed this might have been a very early test stage, as while the team went to the trouble of converting the 256x256 level titles to 128x128 (which the rest of Sonic 2 uses), the stage isn't in good health in this prototype.
Contents
Act 1
| Sonic 2 Nick Arcade prototype |
|---|
| Sonic the Hedgehog |
|---|
Welcome to Green Hill Zone! However this isn't as cool as it looks, as you can probably tell from the garbled lives icon and HUD. Just try walking!
| Sonic 2 Nick Arcade prototype |
|---|
| Sonic the Hedgehog |
|---|
The collision data in this level is significantly damaged, enough to make walking very difficult indeed. However, you can jump and run to get around it to an extent.
| Sonic 2 Nick Arcade prototype |
|---|
| Sonic the Hedgehog |
|---|
The Super Ring monitor has become a shield. In fact, all of the monitors are different, owing to changes to how the objects are stored betweem the two games.
Act 2
| Sonic 2 Nick Arcade prototype |
|---|
| Sonic the Hedgehog |
|---|
Act 2 seems a lot more solid than Act 1.
| Sonic 2 Nick Arcade prototype |
|---|
| Sonic the Hedgehog |
|---|
The Chopper badnik appears to be the most intact Sonic 1 enemy.
| Sonic 2 Nick Arcade prototype |
|---|
| Sonic the Hedgehog |
|---|
The Sonic 1 push-against-rock and jump bug still exists!
| Sonic 2 Nick Arcade prototype |
|---|
| Sonic the Hedgehog |
|---|
Eggman monitor! The aforementioned object changes cause this to appear, however, it does nothing.
| Sonic 2 Nick Arcade prototype |
|---|
| Sonic the Hedgehog |
|---|
Unused tiles in Sonic 1 seem to have manifested themselves onto the mapping of the Crabmeat badnik.
| Sonic 2 Nick Arcade prototype |
|---|
| Sonic the Hedgehog |
|---|
The Sonic 1up has become a Tails 1up monitor. Something to note for later.
| Sonic 2 Nick Arcade prototype |
|---|
| Sonic the Hedgehog |
|---|
And we complete the zone.
Act 3
| Sonic 2 Nick Arcade prototype |
|---|
| Sonic the Hedgehog |
|---|
Thanks to mapping changes, instead of an invincibility box in the tree, we get Power Sneakers.
| Sonic 2 Nick Arcade prototype |
|---|
| Sonic the Hedgehog |
|---|
Now onto the fun part, the boss!
| Sonic 2 Nick Arcade prototype |
|---|
| Sonic the Hedgehog |
|---|
Fighting against "garbleotnik" with Tails is a very weird experience.
| Sonic 2 Nick Arcade prototype |
|---|
| Sonic the Hedgehog |
|---|
Eggman explodes, which is more than can be said for the later Simon Wai prototype.
| Sonic 2 Nick Arcade prototype |
|---|
| Sonic the Hedgehog |
|---|
Even a garbled egg capsule is included!
| Sonic 2 Nick Arcade prototype |
|---|
| Sonic the Hedgehog |
|---|
Free the flickies! I'm sure they're glad to escape this broken zone...
