The following lists miscellaenous scrapped Sonic 2 enemies, most of which were devised by Tom Payne. Others, such as Ball, BBat, BFish, Bubbler, Frog, Gator, Redz, Snail and Stegway, are discounted as they either made it into prototypes of the game, or were officially given the go-ahead by planner Hirokazu Yasuhara.
