Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Beta 5 is a prototype version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Sega Mega Drive. It is also known as S2BETA5.
This prototype was released by drx during the February 23rd, 2008 proto release. It is the first version with the final title screen style (choice between 1 and 2 player); it's also the last without an Options selection on it. It uses the old Sonic 1-style level select with the same Zone names as Beta 4, but the level select appears behind Sonic and Tails. Sonic on the title screen turns black when the player goes into the level select.
Cheat codes
- Level select is activated with
