somethings just occured to me, after looking at some beta shots of sonic 1 I stumbled on a pic that looks strangly familiar, take a look:



I took the second pic using Genesyst, notice the simialrity between the cliffs? I have a feeling they liked the background and decided to use it in sonic 2, with a few touchups of coarse.

Yep, that's true, but only for the mountains, but I don't believe that they retouched the sonic 1 one to put it in sonic 2.lot's of sonic backgrounds have similities

I posted about it some years ago. :evil:
Since the scan quality was too bad already and I altered myself that pic you posted, it's very possible that they just altered those backgrounds a little in order to make what they intended to be Neo Green Hill Zone.

Perhaps they wanted to use that old background with the Emerald Hill foreground, originally? Who knows.

you know, I have a feeling that all the really wierd (like the MZ one with the UFOs or with the floating platforms and the feaky lava) are just concept are just like dust hill zone and the hidden palace zone pics.

Remember that in S2B, AQZ was called Neo Green Hill Zone. There may be a few more similarities if they had the original in mind.

yes, good point, ill start lookin throug the level tiles to see if I can find anything familiar, but alas, I doubt there will be

They are.

I'm positive that the concepted art isn't from a playable game.

Why though? what they have given us surpasses that which they took away.

Sonic looks strange on the GH pic. Wonder if that animation is somewhere in the rom...

[Bleeding Cut]

Probably not if it`s concept art.

It might be in the Alpha, but I'm certain it's not in the final, and probably wouldn't even be in a Beta build.

But, about the S1 pic, what about the bg for Collision chaos good future? I think they look similar <_< and here's my theory on the "concept art" pic, it was a game so early that they didn't have much (Rings, score, lives...etc)

try looking in the tiles using geneyst u might find something eg. ufos in marble zone
I cant do it im usin win xp <_<
