"After missing it’s November release date, Taxman and Stealth’s remastering of Sonic 2 is finally coming to iOS and Android tomorrow. The delay is made worthwhile though with the addition of perhaps the most well known of the scrapped levels found in the beta versions: the Hidden Palace Zone. If you’ve played the duo’s Sonic 1 iOS/Android remastering, you probably know that they like to add other new stuff to the game. So you can probably expect other new features in this release as well.

If you already own the former Sonic 2 iOS port, you’ll be able to download this new version as a free update. This is the first time the game is released on Android though, so your only option is to buy it new when it comes to that platform."

wat?!

I finally get the chance to play the real HPZ after all these years of playing hacked versions of Sonic 2??

but....


Where's the Wood Zone at? Genocide City Zone? Dust Hill Zone? (the Sonic 2 beta's history and hacked roms are fun as hell brehs, I put time into Sonic 2 Delta )

Hope they add all types of shyt, like the Sonic 3 shields and the ending in color.

Good news, my only issue is playing it on my phone...games like that never seem to be very responsive on touch screens.

This is cool but I'm kinda bad at playing Sonic on my phone lol

......

After all these years of listening to that mysterious tune in the sound test section and wondering what the stage could have been like.....

Yeah, I know them ROM-hacking nikkas did their own version of the zone.....but it just wasn't the same as having the official shyt

This comes close enough....

.....and they didn't even use that song for the official release. They used



since that was the original version before they added two player competitive play and ultimately ended up scrapping the entire HPZ altogether. The song we all hear in the sound test menu was only supposed to be used for a cut scene featuring the Hidden Palace.
