The Nick Arcade prototype of Sonic 2 provides clear evidence that it was built off of Sonic 1... because it includes the original game's first stage!
It is believed this might have been a very early test stage, as while the team went to the trouble of converting the 256x256 level titles to 128x128 (which the rest of Sonic 2 uses), the stage isn't in good health in this prototype.
