Hidden Palace Zone
This Zone was ultimately axed from the the final version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, sometime late in development. An unfinished, buggy version of this Zone can be found in the infamous 'Sonic 2 Beta' rom dump, although this version used the same BGM track as Metropolis Zone and featured no apparent way to complete it. The following video was taken of Sonic 2 Long, one of the best rom hacks in existence. This completed Zone incorporates an unused track featured in the sound test menu of the retail Sonic 2 which was presumably for Hidden Palace before it was cut.

Death Egg Zone (Sonic 2)
As the final stage of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Death Egg Zone was particularly daunting to the newcomer due to its 2 consecutive bosses and prominent lack of rings. in other words, everything was a 1-hit KO in this Zone. A few seconds could probably be shaved from this run in a few places.

Death Egg Zone (Sonic & Knuckles)
This Zone is the de facto final stage of Sonic 3 & Knuckles in that it features Robotnik in his Egg-suit and is a conventional boss level, even though it is only the last stage for Sonic & Tails, and even then only if Sonic has not collected all Super Emeralds beforehand. As with its Sonic 2 counterpart this boss area of Death Egg Zone does not contain any rings. However this time rings will carry over from the previous area. Incidentally this stage is not as difficult as its predecessor.
