'''''Sonic 2 Delta''''' is a groundbreaking series of [[sega:ROM hacking|ROM hacks]] by famed [[Sonic scene]] member [[User:Esrael|Esrael Neto]], which restores several deleted levels and prototype elements to ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (16-bit)|Sonic the Hedgehog 2]]'' for the [[sega:Sega Mega Drive|Sega Mega Drive]]. Various features of ''Sonic 2 Delta'', common across the series despite the existence of several versions/branches of the hack, include the use of art and music from the betas and ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' and re-implementation of [[badniks]] that had been removed from the final game. The level order of ''Sonic 2 Delta'' is also similar to the original intended order, rather than that used in the final version.

The main version of this hack is entitled ''Sonic 2 Delta'' and was based upon the [[Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Simon Wai prototype)|Simon Wai prototype]], before version 0.24 transferred the codebase to ‘revision 2’ of ''Sonic 2'' from ''[[Sonic Compilation]]'' and before version 0.29 transferred to the [[Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles]] codebase. More information on the various lineages and their history is detailed in the section “Other versions” below.
 
  
 
A hack similar in concept, called ''[[Sonic 2 Long Version]]'', has been released by another hacker, [[User:Sonic Hachelle-Bee|Sonic Hachelle-Bee]].

−
===Levels===
 
−
The order of levels is directly as shown in the newly implemented Data Select menu:
 
−
*[[Green Hill Zone (Sonic the Hedgehog 16-bit)|Green Hill Zone]]: Straight from ''Sonic 1''!
 
−
*[[Marble Zone]]: From Sonic 1.
 
−
*[[Spring Yard Zone]]: From Sonic 1.
 
−
*[[Labyrinth Zone]]: From Sonic 1.
 
−
*[[Star Light Zone]]: From Sonic 1.
 
−
*[[Scrap Brain Zone]]: From Sonic 1.
 
−
*[[Final Zone]]: Also from Sonic 1.
 
−
*[[Emerald Hill Zone]]: Contains prototype layout elements, and the [[Coconuts]] [[Badnik]]s are replaced with the scrapped [[Snail]] badniks.
 
−
*[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (16-bit) scrapped levels|Winter Hill Zone]]: The graphics that are used are unlike any descriptions ever given of the winter level, other than the winter setting. Instead, graphics are extremely similar to [[Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble|Sonic Triple Trouble's]] [[Robotnik Winter Zone]], with the layouts derived from the same zone. There are trees present but not Christmas trees. Also, no graphics from the (also scrapped) [[Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (16-bit) scrapped levels|desert level]] are reused; this differs from the official team’s plans for it to be largely a palette-swap (similar to what [[Hill Top Zone]] is of [[Emerald Hill Zone]]). The BGM is that of 2 player Mystic Cave Zone and the boss used is from ''Sonic 1'''s [[Marble Zone]].
 
−
*[[Wood Zone]]: The graphics are similar to what is seen in the [[Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Simon Wai prototype)|Simon Wai prototype]]. It uses a slowed down version of the Emerald Hill 2 player music as its BGM. It reuses the ARZ Boss.
 
−
*[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (16-bit) scrapped levels|Sand Shower Zone]]: Uses graphics similar to the mockup screenshot. It's a desert-only setting. The BGM used is from [[Oil Ocean Zone]] but slower. The boss of [[Emerald Hill Zone]] is reused for this level, with no alterations.
 
−
*[[Chemical Plant Zone]]: Small minor alterations were made, such as the loops having slanted corners, like in the prototype.
 
−
*[[Aquatic Ruin Zone|Neo Green Hill Zone]]: Sonic 2's ARZ with its prototype name and music.
 
−
*[[Casino Night Zone]]: As mentioned previously, it has been reverted to its beta form.
 
−
*[[Hill Top Zone]]
 
−
*[[Mystic Cave Zone|Dust Hill Zone]]: Sonic 2's MCZ with its prototype name and music.
 
−
*[[Hidden Palace Zone]]: The graphics are the same as those found in the Nick Arcade prototype, with a layout extending from said prototype. The BGM used is the same that was found in the final version of ''Sonic 2''. A lift can be found on the long ramp; this was unused in the Nick Arcade prototype. This zone's boss is similar to the previous zone's boss, but styled after the boss from the 2013 ''Sonic 2'' mobile remake.
 
−
*[[Oil Ocean Zone]] - 'beta style', with different music and the ride-able balls found in the betas.
 
−
*[[Metropolis Zone]]
 
−
*[[Genocide City Zone]]: The background graphics of Oil Ocean Zone are reused but in a night-time setting. The foreground also reuses graphics from Chemical Plant Zone. There is one act only, and the boss reuses Chemical Plant's boss.
 
−
*[[Sky Chase Zone]]
 
−
*[[Wing Fortress Zone|Sky Fortress Zone]]: Uses the beta name.
 
−
*[[Death Egg Zone]]: Slightly different in that: A. You get 3 rings to start the zone, and B. The music is from the beta.
 
−
*[[Angel Island Zone]]
 
−
*[[Hydrocity Zone]]
 
−
*[[Marble Garden Zone]]
 
−
*[[Carnival Night Zone]]: Uses the music from the [[Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (prototype; 1993-11-03)|November 3rd prototype]].
 
−
*[[IceCap Zone]]: Uses the music from the November 3rd prototype.
 
−
*[[Launch Base Zone]]: Uses the music from the November 3rd prototype.
 
−
*[[Mushroom Hill Zone|Mushroom Valley Zone]]: Uses the beta name.
 
−
*[[Flying Battery Zone]]
 
−
*[[Sandopolis Zone]]
 
−
*[[Lava Reef Zone]]
 
−
*[[Hidden Palace Zone (Sonic & Knuckles)]]
 
−
*[[Sky Sanctuary Zone]]
 
−
*[[Death Egg Zone (Sonic & Knuckles)]]
 
−
*[[The Doomsday Zone]]
