==Lost Sprites and Tiles==
Thanks to the science of hacking, sprites and tiles that are hidden in the prototype ROM file can be recovered.  '''''Note that some palettes may be incorrect!'''''

|[[Image:spr_spring.gif]]
|Spring monitor
|?
|<Too long ago>
|-
|
|colspan="3"|It's rumored that this would attach a spring under Sonic's shoes, like in [[Sonic Triple Trouble]]. [[Image:spr_ttspring.png]]
|-
|[[Image:spr_fish.png]]
|Fish, Piranha 
|<font face="Fixedsys">$7B4EA</font>
|[[User:Esrael|Esrael]]
|-
|[[Image:spr_3eyefish.png]]
|Bubbler's Mother, Three-eyed Fish, Tri-eye, Blinky
|<font face="Fixedsys">$7C0C6</font>
|[[User:Esrael|Esrael]]
|-
|
|colspan="3"|This multi-eyed creature would drop Bubbler onto the ground in [[Chemical Plant Zone]], as [[S2Beta:Concept Art Sketches|illustrated by the concept art]].
|-
|[[Image:spr_bubble.gif]]
|Bubbler
|<font face="Fixedsys">$7C2F2</font>
|[[User:Esrael|Esrael]]
|-
|
|colspan="3"|This lump of bubbles would appear in [[Chemical Plant Zone]] and [[S2Beta:Concept Art Sketches|burst]] when Sonic is near. According to [[S2Beta:Concept Art Sketches|concept art]], it is supposed to be purple in color. This enemy would be dropped by Bubbler's Mother.
|-
|[[Image:spr_bouncer.gif]]
|Bouncer, Crawl
|<font face="Fixedsys">$7C710</font>
|[[User:Esrael|Esrael]]
|-
|[[Image:spr_crocobot.gif]]
|Crocobot
|<font face="Fixedsys">$7A11A</font>
|[[User:Esrael|Esrael]]
|-
|[[Image:spr_trycerobot.png]]
|Trycerobot, Rhinobot
|<font face="Fixedsys">$7AD18</font>
|[[User:Esrael|Esrael]]
|-
|[[Image:spr_seahorse2.png]]
|OOZ Seahorse
|<font face="Fixedsys">$7B9E2</font>
|[[User:Esrael|Esrael]]
|-
|
|colspan="3"|The seahorses shoot oil balls at Sonic when approached. Their behavior can be seen in Esrael's hack, ''[[Sonic 2 Delta]]''.
|-
|[[Image:spr_octopus.gif]]
|OOZ Octopus
|<font face="Fixedsys">$7A9F8</font>
|[[User:Esrael|Esrael]]
|-
|
|colspan="3"|This is not your usual octopus seen in OOZ. When it sees Sonic, it fires a glowing bullet and then quickly flies away horizontally. Again, this can be seen in Esrael's [[Sonic 2 Delta|hack]]. The palette shown here is wrong—the octopus looks pink, as usual, under OOZ's palette.
|-
|[[Image:spr_lamppost.gif]]
|Lamppost, Restart point
|<font face="Fixedsys">$79278</font>
|<viewable via debug>
|-
|[[Image:spr_fireball.gif]]
|Fireball, Log on fire
|<font face="Fixedsys">$7436C</font>
|[[User:Nemesis|Nemesis]]
|-
|
|colspan="3"|Possibly part of a burning bridge after destroyed by yet another scrapped enemy, [[S2Beta:Concept Art Sketches|the Bee]].

"I'm not entirely sure if this is a fireball or a burning log. The main area in the center that's black uses the second colour on the palette line, which is a dull colour on every palette in the beta, rather than an intense red that you would expect." ― Nemesis
|-
|[[Image:spr_ball.gif]]
|Ball
|<font face="Fixedsys">$7BE30</font>
|[[User:Esrael|Esrael]]
|-
|
|colspan="3"|This ball is believed to supposedly [[S2Beta:Concept Art Sketches|bounce and crush Sonic]].
|-
|[[Image:spr_hpzbg.png]]
|HPZ alpha background backdrop
|<font face="Fixedsys">$2B06A</font>
|[[BMF54123]]
|-
|
|colspan="3"|EveryNameWasTaken noticed this thing matches with the holes in the background of the mock-up Hidden Palace picture. [[S2Beta:Magazine Previews/01|Click here for more info]].
|-
|[[Image:spr_drills_left.gif]][[Image:spr_drills_up.gif]]
|Drill, Rotating screw
|<font face="Fixedsys">$2A86A</font>

|colspan="3"|"You know that one with the fire in the pot against the stone wall? That actually wasn't compiled in our version of the rom, but is merely left over from a previous build." ― Nemesis, ROM Hacker @ Area 51 phpBB (defunct)

|[[Image:spr_cpzboss.gif]]
|Lost CPZ Boss, Splattered Robotnik
|<font face="Fixedsys">$7D3DA</font>
|[[Knuckles Prower]]
|-
|
|colspan="3"|It's possible that this sprite would be displayed when Robotnik is hit or defeated in CPZ.
|-
|[[Image:spr_ledge.gif]]
|Sonic ledge animation

|-
|[[Image:spr_missingsprites.png]]
|Sonic sitting down, rotating, and pulling 
|?
|[[Scott Prower]]
|-
|
|colspan="3"|The sitting down sprites were later discovered to be remnants of a scrapped "bounce back after running into the wall" animation fully used in the Nick Arcade prototype.

While it's quick to browse through the list of pictures, remember these discoveries are made possible by hackers who spent hours and hours to dissect and study the ROM image. My thanks go to everybody in the Sonic Hacking scene.
