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: Up, Down, Down, Down, Down, Up, highlight 1 player, then press A + Start.
  • Debug code: C, C, C, C, C, C, Up, Down, Down, Down, Down, Up, highlight 1 player, then press A + Start.
  • Level select is still similar to that of Sonic 1 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 region)
  • As in Sonic_the_Hedgehog_2_(beta_5), the player can run right past Robotnik in Death Egg.
  • The final boss only takes one hit, most likely to facilitate testing of the newly-programmed full ending. In previous builds, Sonic and Tails just fly off to the right.
