    I (or rather, Mustapha) was fiddling around with the level select in S2B. I remembered the interest in the appearance of S1 title cards in Act 40 of various S2B zones. So here's the definitive list I (or rather, Mustapha) compiled.

    Like I said, Mustapha did the menial work so he gets credit, not me.

    Coherent Title Cards
    Green Hill
    Marble
    Spring Yard
    Labyrinth
    Star Light
    Scrap Brain
    Final
    Zone
    Act 1
    Act 2
    Act 3

    Rejects (incoherent/blank)
    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

    Yeah, I know, but I didn't make 'em and I was too lazy to convert them. So sue me. Or Mustapha. XD

    Or...you can stop "ondering" now. LOLOLOL *shot0rz*

    I remember taking some screenshots of the S2B title cards. But it wasn't anything like this. It was like "[glitch block] act zone 3 [FREEZE]". I had to get rid of the screenshots for space, though.

    Sega didn't. Esrael did though, to the Delta hacks.

    Reject #3 is quite interesting...

    Also, what exactly do you mean by "act 40" of the zones?

    Nothing that concerns this place in the least.
    With the Debug mode, you could go under the oil, and you could see that clear.

    At some particular offset in the Sonic 2 Beta ROM (I don't recall it off the top of my head; ask Exor Chaon) change 0000 to 0X28. The 0X can be any variable (from 00 right up to FF).

    That offset is the first pointer in the level select menu, so changing that changes where it points. The 28 is the important bit:

    (2 x 16) + 8 = 40

    So we're going to Act 40. Different levels generate different title cards at the end.
