Play Metal Sonic in Sonic 2 (Beta) Online
Controlling Metal Sonic in this scrapped Sonic 2 beta feels like the game’s on fast-forward—his heavy slides send you flying past platforms until you learn to wrestle with his speed. It’s janky and unfinished, but that just makes it more fascinating to mess around in.

Metal Sonic in Sonic 2 Beta was never officially released on the Sega Genesis, but it exists as a prototype build that leaked years later. Sega developed and published the original Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and this early version gives a glimpse into their design process during the 16-bit era. It's a piece of gaming history, not a polished product, and it shows what might have been if they had kept Metal Sonic as a playable character.
You control Metal Sonic, who handles differently than Sonic; he's heavier, slides more on stops, and lacks the spin dash, making his movement feel both powerful and unwieldy. The main objective is the same as the final game: race through zones, defeat Robotnik, and collect Chaos Emeralds. Signature mechanics include his unique momentum-based physics, which require careful timing on jumps, and his ability to perform a screeching halt that sends up sparks. The pacing is frantic, and the difficulty is uneven due to the unfinished nature of the build. It feels like tinkering with a rough draft, where every dash and jump carries a sense of experimental weight.
