Unused Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Hologram Label Revealed

Sega struck gold with Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis in 1991, so when the time came to release the sequel a year later on so-called "Sonic 2sday", the company's American division worked to come up with ways to make the new game stand apart from the others around it. One of the ideas they came up with and took to the prototype stage was a hologram cartridge label. As shared on Twitter by Sega of America's former Director of Marketing, Al Nilsen, the labels were visually appealing, but went unused due to the added expense of manufacturing them for each cartridge.
