Yuji Naka claimed in an IGN interview that this prototype was originally stolen from a toy fair in New York in 1992. Sonic Retro's origins partly date back to Simon's initial documentation of the ROM in the form of the now-defunct The Sonic 2 Beta Page. Its release was pivotal in cultivating research into the development of Sonic the Hedgehog games in the years that followed. This Simon Wai prototype was presented to the Western Sonic the Hedgehog fan community in 1999, though had been distributed in various forms for many years prior to this date. A further nine can be accessed through a level select code, though none of these Zones can be finished, and three are entirely empty stages. Only four Zones can be played during normal gameplay Aquatic Ruin Zone, Chemical Plant Zone, Hill Top Zone and Emerald Hill Zone (in that order). The Simon Wai prototype is more advanced than the earlier "Nick Arcade" prototype, though is still very much incomplete. It was the first prototype to be found of Sonic 2, and for many years was simply referred to as " Sonic 2 Beta".
This particular prototype is named after Simon Wai, who found the ROM on a Chinese website and subsequently brought it to the attention of the Western Sonic the Hedgehog fan community. It is a relatively early build of the game, thought to have been created around the middle of 1992. The Sonic the Hedgehog 2 "Simon Wai" prototype is a prototype build of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Sega Mega Drive. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Simon Wai prototype)
