While some enemies were close to being implemented, others were little more than concept art sketches. This list is roughly ordered top-to-bottom from the closest to completion, to the least finished. Most of these enemies were created by [[Tom Payne]], with [[Hirokazu Yasuhara]] helping to decide how they were to behave in game.

'''Bubbler's Mother''' is a [[badnik]] which was set to appear in [[Chemical Plant Zone]]. Its design was that of a three eyed fish. It would swim in the water past the player's character and drop [[Bubbler]] badniks around them.

'''Cactus''' is one of them - a badnik which would be either mobile or stationary and would flash green and red before exploding. The drawing of ''Sonic 1'''s [[Bomb]] badnik may mean the Cactus badnik behaved similarly to it. An armadillo is also present.

Scrapped enemies

Numerous enemies were conceived for the Sega Mega Drive game Sonic the Hedgehog 2, with many failing to be used in the final product. 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.
