In the good ending, it shows Sonic and Tails in the sky. But in the bad ending, it only shows Tails.

[[WMG:Robotnik was actually Tails the entire time.]]
The ending to the Game Gear version sees Robotnik fleeing into a transporter, only to be replaced by a two-tailed fox. '''Coincidence'''?
[[WMG:Robotnik steals Tails' soul in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Game Gear.]]
If you cheat to get to the last level instead of getting all the Chaos Emeralds, you get the bad ending (Sonic alone, Tails in the sky) EVEN THOUGH Tails appeared in the teleporter.
The rescue didn't count for some reason, it seems. Why?
Robotnik did something to Tails after capturing him (which is why he captured Tails alone and didn't capture Sonic at the end of Underground Zone Act 3), which did something to him; he CameBackWrong.
I think that Robotnik stole Tails's soul to power some kind of doomsday weapon. After rescuing the comatose Tails, Sonic carries him all the way home, tries to feed him some mushed up baby food, talks to him for a while, tucks him in bed, reads him a bedtime story, and watches over him all night and all day from that point, hoping he'll recover.
DO NOT CHEAT.
* Perhaps the Chaos Emeralds give Sonic the ability to restore Tails to how he was... or give Sonic the ability to locate Tails in (or enter) the Crystal Egg zone; without them, Sonic can't pursue Robotnik and the game would have to end there.
** The level select screen represents Sonic looking around all of Mobius at random. By the time he gets to the Crystal Egg zone by some other means, it's too late for Tails.

[[WMG:Tails was meant to be playable in Sonic 2 8-bits.]]
* Even though he's supposed to have been captured by Eggman, [[FridgeLogic Tails still appears with Sonic in all title cards.]] Also, as seen in the game's good ending, Tails has an almost complete spritesheet. The development team probably didn't bother to change the title cards after dummying him out.
* I think it becomes a bit of FridgeBrilliance if you consider that Sonic is desperately wanting Tails to be at his side, and the title cards are Sonic remembering the fun times he had with Tails the last time they were in the Zone together.
* Actually it's even more FridgeBrilliance if you think of the 8-bit game as Robotnik's revenge against Tails for defeating him alone while Sonic was stuck in ''VideoGame/SonicCD''. Now that Sonic CD is moved in the timeline, the Tails Alone modes of 2 and 3&K never happen, therefore Sonic AND Tails venture through Sonic 2 8-bit like they should have!
[[WMG: In the bad ending of Sonic 2 8-bit, Sonic forgot about Tails.]]
The end credits scene is Sonic realizing he forgot to rescue Tails.

[[WMG: Underground Zone was going to be the first zone originally, and Green Hills the fourth]]
* It would fit the general pattern of Green Hill being first, explain why the Underground boss is so hard, and make sense considering both Underground and Gimmick Mountain involve being underground and riding in mining carts.

[[WMG: West Side Island's name is connected to the creation of Angel Island]]
Angel Island was hidden in the sky beyond man's reach in ancient times, shortly after the entire Chaos debacle that spelt the destruction of the ancient Echidna civilization following the massacre of the Chao. The partial island landmass where the Master Emerald was enshrined would be sent into the sky, leaving a massive crater lake in the eastern half of the original island, which would later be named West Side Island due to a big chunk of the eastern half simply not being there. This chunk of Floating Island is Angel Island itself. This is why the oldest parts of the Mystic Caves conceal a Hidden Palace - it was part of the original ancient underground mining facility that spanned between the Mystic Caves and what would later be known as Lava Reef, the other portion having taken to the sky with the rest of Angel Island.

Looking at [[https://qntm.org/files/maps/wingfortress.png Wing Fortress' level map]], it looks very unfinished (not in a level design way, as in an aesthetic way). Sonic and Tails may have been too quick for Eggman, and forced him to take off with an unfinished Wing Fortress.

Since by that point he hasn't fought Eggman in the Death Egg, just a robotic Sonic, he probably figured Eggman had something else to fight with, and wants to take Eggman himself on.
