For those of you not in the know, a lot has happened with Sonic 2 over the past few months with the release of 4 more protos in the Sonic 2 family: Sonic 2 betas 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, along with a handful of Knuckles in Sonic 2 prototypes. Therefore, even though this site is a relatively low-priority project compared to our others, we’ll be working on updating The Sonic 2 Beta Page over the coming months to reflect our new knowledge.

In the meanwhile, you can help us out with this! Simply head on over to S2Beta:Main Page to see what we’ve updated so far and to add whatever you can.
