  1.   This is just a random thought I had when I was making my rendition of the Hidden Palace Zone theme.(Song #10 in Sonic 2 Final)
      What say you, people of S2B?

    I say that's the oldest and possibly stupidest rumor we know about. Theres nothing at all that could support the idea.
     
  3. ??? And I say that was rudely put, TK. . .? No one among anyone here knows what the original purpose of the Hidden Palace Zone, or the giant emerald within it were for.? It could be used for any number of things.

    ??? And another thing. . .? If Tails doesn't have some sort of unknown bond with Chaos Energy and the Chaos Emeralds, then why is it that he has to use the seven Chaos Emeralds, plus the seven Super Emeralds in order to transform in to his Super form, unlike Sonic, Shadow, or Knuckles?? For all any of us know, Sega could be fiercely holding out on the true origins of Tails, or they might have been forgotten in the sands of time, past Sonic 2 and Sonic 3. . .? Don't toss out any theories or ideas that you can't disprove. . .  That's right, theory.  I'm not stating this as rumour, fact, or otherwise.  I'm simply stating it as a theory.

    uhh...

    Go back to GameFAQs.
     
  5.   And. . .what did going back to GameFAQs.com prove, exactly?  I already know how to get Super Tails.  You'll have to be more specific if you want to somehow prove some sort of point. . .
     
  6. Yeah...

    Yeah I'd have to say that I've always found it strange that tails did not have a Hyper form in Sonic 3 And Knuckles when Sonic and Knuckles both did (I prefere to think of Shadow as Super, Just my opinion).

    It could be possible that there is a Tails storyline none of us know about, I'm not too sure that Tails guarding the Master Emerald appeals as much as Knuckles though (perhaps why they scrapped it?? Who knows?)

    Yeah and TK, how about shutting up and trying accept a wider viewpoint?? Just a suggestion
     
  7.   *wipes his forehead*  Thank you, SK, for not instantly Recycle Binning my theory.  I was really weary about really starting to talk on this forum because of TK. . .  I mean, I know some die-hard fans of Sonic can be anal retentive about certain things and all, but. . .  Well. . .nevermind that.

      I guess what I'm looking for at this moment is just some opinions, counter-points, and maybe even a couple of answers, as to Tails, the Hidden Palace Zone, and Sonic 2 BETA 2(3, 4, 5, 10, ect., anything after the MD8123 ROM that's floating around.)

      Oh, by the way. . .  Is it just me, or is that MD8123 ROM that's floating around actually the US version, and not Japanese or Euro?

    Sonic 2 was developed in the US, that's why.

    Tails also ate the Master Emerald.
     
  9. DID HE TK?????????

    My God!! That explains everything! Like, the reason that level was taken out of Sonic Cd..The reason why Wood Zone, Genocide City Zone and Dimond Dust Zone were all removed from Sonic 2...The reason why you're such an ijit...It's all because TAILS ATE THE MASTER EMERALD :wink:

    Anyway, it would be nice to actually acquire a copy of Sonic 2 before its final release to clear some of this up but I find it rather unlikely that this will happen. Maybe we'll get lucky someday and SEGA will release an expanded edition of Sonic 2 with everything intact. Who knows.

    Diamond Dust Zone? I never heard about a Diamond Dust Zone. Maybe you mean Dust Hill Zone.

    Sonic Eclipse 2, Return of the Hidden Palace, Unnamed Sonic 2 Hack
    I got curious when he said Diamond Dust Zone and only being a huge fan of the genesis games did a small bit of research. Couldn't Diamond Dust possibly be the name of R2 in Sonic CD? I researched the zone names as I have never played anything but the first three levels. I know the rumor is Mercury Mines but the disproof is no zone letter is used twice. Diamond Dust seems to fit pretty well as it makes sense to be a zone name as the letters match and the letter D isn't used for any other level. This may or may not be anything more than a wild, out of the blue guess but it seems to make perfect sense to me. If someone makes a SCD hack, perhaps this name should be used in place of R2, no?

    [Note: I know this isn't exactly the main topic but just a thought that I think I should mention before I forget about it completely.]


    —Directed at JTF--

    Craig Stitt said in IceKnight's interview that the "Master Emerald" was merely a plug and hadn't been given a name. When they made S3(K) someone was either

    1: looking through old stuff from previous games/builds

    or

    2: remembered old level art

    and mentioned the giant emerald used in Craig's Hidden Palace art. They recycled that idea and made the giant emerald something important along with giving it the name "Master Emerald".

    Also, the Sonic 2 Beta Hidden Palace was as finsihed as Hidden Palace ever got.

    Everyone has opinions... it's simply just that -- opinions. No need to get worked up over it. :P

    I may add a theories section soon, 'cause the site doesn't seem complete without one. Of course, I'll first have to think of some way to prevent things like "the emerald is Tail's dinner" from being classified as theories, hehe.
     
  16. Oops...Yes I did mean Dust Hill, my bad. Diamond Dust is meant to be that rumored missing Zone from Sonic Cd but it is in Sonic 3D.

    We already have one. It's before the final release of Sonic 2.

    If you mean a version that was built just before the final was released, then the only differences in that would be probably that Hidden Palace is partially there like in our current beta.

    What we need is an even earlier copy.
     
  18. There has to be one somewhere... SEGA probably has one, but if they'd put it on the net, I would be a Chao's uncle.

    Deceptively cute Oldbie
    It's become somewhat of an injoke that all GameFAQs board members are n00bs.


    Untrue. In Sonic 2 Final, Sonic spins while in the tube, and (possibly) slides while in the water. Work on HPZ was done between our Beta and the Final.

    Wasn't all this "Master Emerald" stuff debunked by it being a revelation that it was meant to be a mere "breakable block"? Or was that proven unreliable information?
