View source for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (16-bit) scrapped enemies

== Page Rename ==
Considering that all the categories were changed from Badniks to Enemies, wouldn't it be better if this page was moved to '''Other Scrapped Sonic 2 Enemies''' for consistency reasons? [[User:SOTI|SOTI]] 16:28, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
:Could go either way. While we had to change the categories because modern enemies often aren't badniks, it's still a legitimate term in this PAGE title because everything in Sonic 2 ''was'' a badnik. [[User:Frozen Nitrogen|Frozen Nitrogen]] 18:04, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
:EDIT - Actually, [[Bubbler]].
:So yeah. [[User:Frozen Nitrogen|Frozen Nitrogen]] 18:06, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

== Todo ==

On top of the [[:Category:Tom Payne disk sprites|Tom Payne documents]], some of these are discovered to have been coded into the game in the [[Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (alpha)/Hidden content#Others|August 21st alpha]]. Something will have to be done about this, especially if other enemies like [[BFish]] and [[Gator]] are allowed to have pages on the basis of being coded. --[[User:BSonirachi|BSonirachi]] ([[User talk:BSonirachi|talk]]) 18:57, 16 December 2023 (EST)

:So I guess the vague rule was that if an enemy had code, it should get a page... if not just to explain the code (spoilers: that's a job for someone else). That's why I made [[Ball]] and [[Bubbler]] - it's a worry it took so long, but whatever.

:For the rest on this page
:*We're probably better grouping the bees/wasps into [[Buzzer]]
:*There are apparently three(?) iterations of [[Snail]], but we only have sprites for two and... yeah combine them
:*Banper is almost certainly [[Crawl]]. I'm not sure we gain much by classing them as separate enemies.

:A good chunk of the rest, while never appearing in the game itself, are reasonably well documented
:*I'd be tempted to give "Frog" a page on the grounds it was invented by Yasuhara, and thus seriously considered for inclusion in Sonic 2. The rest are Tom Payne inventions, and he wasn't a designer.
:*But there are a lot of pigs. Lots of concept art, lots of Digitizer graphics - more than some of the above. It's clearly something Tom was pitching, even if it didn't go anywhere.
:*[[File:TomPaynePapers Binder Clip 1 (Sonic 2 Enemies) (Original Order) image1289.jpg|200px]] These lads have Digitizer graphics. I'm not sure there's enough to justify separate pages (except the frog), but you tell me.
:*[[File:TomPaynePapers Binder Clip 1 (Sonic 2 Enemies) (Original Order) image1345.jpg|200px]] And there's a list of enemies planned for the desert zone. Of these, only the scorpion seems to have got anywhere, but most have at least a little bit of art.
:*Anything else can fit on this page. Or go back to Sonic 2/Development.
