  • The Simon Wai prototype of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (named after the person who discovered it) is a well-known in-development version of the game dating from before the official release of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 itself. It was discovered on a Chinese GeoCities site before being widely distributed on the Internet. The prototype is frequently examined by hackers to determine how the final game was developed. Since its leak, other prototypes were revealed in varying states of completion. It was stated in an interview with Yuji Naka that this beta was from a demonstration cartridge that was stolen at a toy show in New York in 1992. Akinori Nishiyama has also stated that the leak was due to the lack of security at the time.
