* AuthorsSavingThrow: The Master System and Game Gear versions of Lemmings 2 were practically lost media, having been developed in parallel with the Gameboy version, only to not be released. One of the development team however dumped the final, fully playable, prototypes on the internet, with the only quirk being some levels being based around the same basic solution.[[note]]A single lemming moving through a maze and then using the laser blaster to drop all the lemmings at the entrance outside the exit.[[/note]]

Per TRS, Feelies is now Trivia.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Feelies}}: ''Lemmings 2'' (the Amiga version at least) included a prologue in the form of an honest-to-god, colour-illustrated [[http://lemnet.tripod.com/english-chronicles/info/books/index.html children's book]] about the somewhat inept Jimmy B. [=McLemming=]'s mission to warn the other tribes to bring their talismans. [=McLemming's=] exploits continued in the manual for the sequel, ''Lemmings Chronicles'', before [[AbortedArc the entire storyline was dropped from the franchise.]]

[[note]] Okay, at least [[LetsPlay/WhoIsThisGit ONE person]] [[https://youtu.be/65jGYXnRL7w?t=234 remembers Troddlers]] (even calling it underrated), but that's not the point here. [[/note]]

** Many ports don't include the unique ShoutOut levels or the ''All the 6's'' level. Also, these ports tend not to include the music tracks based on "How much is that Doggie in the Window" and "O Little Town of Bethlehem".

** The first "We All Fall Down", possibly to cut down on excessive repetition
** The ''Oh No! More Lemmings'' level "Introducing SUPERLEMMING" was omitted, likely due to the game engine's inability to reproduce the fast-forward gimmick that the original level employed. Additionally, for seemingly no reason, four levels of the first difficulty rank were also cut.

repetition or because it was the 13th level.
** The ''Oh No! More Lemmings'' level "Introducing SUPERLEMMING" was omitted, likely due to the game engine's inability to reproduce the fast-forward gimmick that the original level employed. Additionally, for seemingly no reason, the last four levels of the first difficulty rank (Tame) were also cut.

Removed, for the same reason as I removed this from the main page. Also, since when has Pachelbel's Canon been a Christmas song?


* NamesTheSame: “Pachelbel’s Cannon in D” is an original composition but shares it’s name with the more famous Christmas tune.

** All the above levels in fact still exist in the data files (though the graphics for the special levels do not, only their actual level data), but simply cannot be accessed in game. By hacking the game, or simply examining the level files with a level editor, these levels can be confirmed to exist in the data.

* MissingEpisode: The Windows 95 version removed several levels from the original game.
** All of the levels using special graphics ("A Beast of a Level", "MENACING!!", "What an AWESOME Level", "A Beast II of a Level") were removed, presumably due to the game engine's inability to replicate them.
