Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Beta 6 for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis was released by drx during the February 23rd, 2008 proto release. It is also known as S2BETA6. There seem to be two versions of Beta 6; but aside from a couple bytes in the header they're identical, byte-for-byte.

General Differences

Cheat Codes

  • Level Select code: UDDDDU, highlight 1 player, then a+start.
  • Debug code: CCCCCC UDDDDU, highlight 1 player, then a+start.
  • Level select is still Sonic 1-a-like in this build. The level select menu appears behind Sonic and Tails, and Sonic is all black. This is because, as JoseTB explained, "the first line [of the title screen palette] was the background in previous builds, but it's used by sonic in the new title screen. Of course, the level select pallet remained untouched with the change.

General

  • Appears to be the first prototype with the options selection.
  • "Sonic and "Tails" in" (or "Sonic and Miles," depending on your region)
  • As in S2BETA5, you can run right past Eggman in Death Egg.
  • The final boss only takes one hit, most likely to facilitate testing of the newly-programmed full ending. In the previous builds Sonic and Tails just fly off to the right.
