Line 4:
* [[Executive Meddling]]: Sonic Team planned for [[Sequel Escalation|eighteen stages]] but producers wanted to get the game out in time for the Christmas season which forced Sonic Team to scrap several stages.
* [[Killer App]]: Next to its precursor, ''Sonic 2'' was the most popular game to own for the Genesis. Like the first game before it, it even became a pack-in game for bundles of the Model 2 Sega Genesis.
* [[Refitted for Sequel]]: The ending of Sonic falling through the sky and being caught by Tails was the original ending of the first game.
* [[Urban Legend of Zelda]]: Several planned levels were [[Dummied Out]], such as Wood Zone (eventually recycled as Mushroom Hill in ''Sonic and Knuckles''), Death Egg (all of the level before the final boss fights was cut) and Hidden Palace (whose soundtrack and some data survives in the final cartridge). A lot of [[Wild Mass Guessing]] has surrounded these, including the idea that originally Sonic 2 was supposed to have the time-travel gimmick of ''[[Sonic CD]]'' and the Dust Hill Zone (which eventually became the Mystic Cave Zone) was a [[Bad Future]] of Emerald Hill, and so forth. A particularly mysterious cut level is the gloriously named Genocide City Zone.
** Genocide City was actually supposed to be a single act zone, and was replaced by the third act of Metropolis Zone, [[Or So I Heard]].
