One issue of the Mean Machines Sega came with a VHS cassette, offering previews of several upcoming games such as Greendog and James Pond. A good portion of the video features a prototype version of Sonic 2.

This is a later prototype because Tails can fly and Sonic is using his final set of sprites. They must've changed the coding a bit because there are major glitches of collision detections/layer switching.
