* [[Unwinnable By Mistake]]: When you finish the stage as Super Sonic--i.e. run past the spinning sign at the end--you immediately power down. If you jump again, you'll transform into Super Sonic, immediately power down, and be stuck running in place in midair. Sonic [[Exit Stage Right|runs to the right and offscreen]] when the sign finishes spinning; but if he's stuck in midair, the stage doesn't register as finished and you have to reset. |

* [[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]]. |
|||
** Genocide City was eventually renamed Cyber City Zone once the Japanese developers understood what the word actually meant. However the lost zone did make a comeback of sorts in [[Sonic Spinball]]. |

* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: Tails may be immortal, but the level design offers ample opportunity to "kill" him by squashing him with obstacles. This potential became a [[Running Gag]] in Cybershell's ~Let's Play~ of this game and ''[[Sonic 3 and Knuckles]]'' in retaliation for Tails's [[Artificial Stupidity]]. |

** This is also the entire point of the Tails abuse Machinima series by Whoisthisgit on Youtube (the ones that use actual gameplay at least). |
