I like the idea of using an extremely easy and stupid exploit that would straight up kill you in the original game, to make a secret area, that's pretty cool actually
I think the idea of secret zones could be use for it's own thing. Imagine a Sonic game where depending on what route you choose, you get multiple variants of a single adventure, secret bosses and endings.
Sería algo interesante si lo hacen mucho mejor que en por ejemplo en el video juego de shadow y para mantener la expectativa podrian dejar uno o dos años sin un juego o comic que diga cual final es canon para tener más intrigados a los jugadores pienso que sería algo bueno de ver
Sonic Adventure; had six different "routes" of the same adventure. One route for each playable character. Of which unlocked both, an additional route and secret boss battle. Sonic Adventure 2; had two different "routes" of the same adventure. Each of which containing three playable characters. After which the player gains access to one final route, that culminates in a face off against the secret boss. Sonic Heroes; had four different "routes" of the same adventure. Each of which containing three interchangeable characters. Where after completion, a secret "route" becomes available to the player. Containing all four previous teams of three interchangeable characters, as well as an additional team consisting of three "Super" characters. Shadow the Hedgehog had a multitude of "routes" of the same adventure, consisting of one playable character. Whereby another route becomes accessible upon completion. Granting the player a secret boss fight. Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) had three different "routes" of the same adventure, consisting of one playable character each. Where, you guessed it; both another route, and secret boss fight becomes available to the player.
And those are just a handful of 3D titles. The list goes on even further with 2D entries. What you're suggesting used to be a staple of the Sonic franchise until the boost era of games beginning with Sonic Unleashed.
Sand shower, and wood zone were prototype levels in s2. Originally there was another zone called genocide city zone, but you can probably guess why they took it out.
@@RADIZZLE4000 These are not real!! This video is playing a ROM hack. These levels are not in the original Genesis game, it's fan made. What this comment is saying is that some of these zones were PLANNED to be included originally but were cut.
According to the sonic wiki wood zone is the future of casino night and rock zone was the past of sand shower cause there was going to be a time travel mechanic
Emerald Hill - Rock World Casino Night - Casino Midnight Hill Top - Wood Mystic Cave - Hidden Palace Oil Ocean - Sand Shower Metropolis - Cyber City Sky Chase - Snowy Winter
@@SonicFanBoy2010 Wood Zone it's the literal name of the zone, and Snowy Winter... well it was Winter Zone before, to be honest i don't know why i added "Snowy"... also, i watched the video some time ago, weren't i just copying down the names from the video itself?
what happened to the scrapped zones: Rock World Zone: never made it past concept art stage Scrapped Casino Night Zone BGs: scrapped for the current BG we know today Wood Zone: Scrapped mid-development, music recycled for 2P VS mode. Referenced in the Archie Comics. Hidden Palace Zone: Scrapped mid-development, but re-added in the 2013 Remaster and Sonic Origins. Name and concept recycled in Sonic & Knuckles. Sand Shower Zone: never made it past mockup stage, music is theorized to have possibly been recycled for Oil Ocean Zone. Planned to be added in the 2013 remaster of Sonic CD but was scrapped again for accuracy reasons. Remade in Sonic Mania as Mirage Saloon Zone. Cyber City Zone: Scrapped mid-development, music recycled for 2P VS mode, replaced by Metropolis Zone Act 3. Snowy Winter Zone: Name unofficial, never made it past concept art stage. Music recycled for Sky Chase Zone.
Fun fact: when sonic 2 was still being developed they actually had a scrapped zone called “Dust hill zone” similar to “Sand shower zone” but if you play the old version of sonic 2 you’ll get level select and you’ll see a level called Dust hill (The scrapped zone) it will just take you to a multiplayer zone of mystic cave but there are pictures that show dust hill was supposed to be a desert level. Kind of like Mirage Saloon and similar to Sand Shower zone.
Sad that Sega don't do something like that on the remastered version on SONIC ORIGINS! They put only HIDDEN PALACE and with the wrong music! Thanks for this video! 😊❤👍

Apparently Dust Hill was never the name for the Desert Level, all evidence points to it being an earlier name for Mystic Cave as weird as that Sounds The name Sand Shower comes from a concept art of a map from back when Sonic 2 was planned to have a time travel plot

These are just fan mods using existing assets from prototype builds, a mockup screenshot of Dust Hill, and some creative liberties. Cyber City is technically in the game as Act 3 of Metropolis Zone, but it would have used the assets of Level 3 from Sonic Spinball instead of the ones for Metropolis Zone.
Hey, you got some removed zones like wood zone, and the old textures for casino night! Hidden palace was a nick arcade prototype zone! I don't know what to say now.
Note: All of these zones are only accessible to Sonic as trying to do this as Tails kills you for some reason. Also, this is a rom hack, so stop saying it doesn’t work!
I don't know if the low quality of the video is intentional or not (it could be my device being crappy), but for some reason it gives a vibe it was recorded in 2014 or something. This video seems like it was in an alternate universe because of this...
It's because Christian whiteheads mobile version isn't the original. (Christian whitehead is the tax man for sega) he added back hidden palace but changed the zone up. The entress to the zone used to be a trap called (the pit) it was a trap for anyone who ran too fast as super sonic
Rock world is actually an ice stage and uses sky chases theme. Wood zone uses metropolis theme. Hidden palace uses the 2 player mystic caves theme. Sand shower zone uses oil oceans theme and oil ocean uses 2 player casino nights theme and this zone is called sand shower not dust hill, dust hill was mystic caves old name. Cyber city is actually supposed to use chemical plants theme, background, and color palat, BUT this zone could go under the category of being cyber city 2 zone but we don't know the theme it used yet. Also we're other zones like blue lake, ocean wind, mountain madness, emrilde isle, tropical plant/sun/summer, the name isn't now between the three, and cyber city 1 zone?

I like this concept. It would work for Sonic Origins. Kind of has the Super Mario World idea with Peace Keepers mixed together.

Genocide city zone is the cyber city zone shown on the video, they changed the name after they learned the meaning but It was still scrapped
@@AdlerGamerPvP not only scrapped, it was arguably implemented into what's now Metropolis' Act 3.

Mystic cave hidden palace is real in the remastered game
Man, I just wish that could happen to when we play Sonic 2. And not to mention, I’ve never ever played in these secret zones.

Can be play this in sonic origins?
