'''''Sonic Delta 40 Mb''''' (formerly ''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 Delta 40 Mb'', 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. Several original boss fights have also been created for the hack.

The main version of this hack is entitled ''Sonic Delta 40 Mb'' 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.

===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]]: This, like the rest of the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)|Sonic 1]]'' zones, is entirely unchanged from its original appearance.
 
*[[Marble Zone]]
 
*[[Spring Yard Zone]]
 
*[[Labyrinth Zone]]
 
*[[Star Light Zone]]
 
*[[Scrap Brain Zone]]
 
*[[Final Zone]]: The only alteration is the addition of 3 rings at the start of the zone.
 
*[[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 an original boss fight has been coded for it.
 
*[[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 also has an original boss fight.
 
*[[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]]: 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]]: MCZ with its prototype name and music.
 
*[[Hidden Palace Zone]] (''Sonic 2''): 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 as the unused music 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 a near-perfect recreation of the Hidden Palace Zone 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]] (''Sonic 2''): 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. Sonic and Tails do fight the [[Launch Base Zone bosses#Big Arm|Big Arm]], like in Sonic 3 alone.
 
*[[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)]]: At the start of the [[Kyodai Eggman Robo]] boss fight, 3 rings are provided.
 
*[[The Doomsday Zone]]

Sonic 2 Delta is a groundbreaking series of ROM hacks by famed Sonic scene member Esrael Neto, which restores several deleted levels and prototype elements to Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the 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 and re-implementation of badniks that had been removed from the final game. Several original boss fights have also been created for the hack.

A hack similar in concept, called Sonic 2 Long Version, has been released by another hacker, Sonic Hachelle-Bee.
