I know hardly anything about the HPZ in Sonic 2 or how to get to it. BUT this
is probably just something to think about...maybe.....(I have no idea if you
get to the HPZ through Mystic cave 2 or somewhere else but this was kind of
weird and I've always thought though I'm probably wrong that this certain way
is how to get there)

There is something that I thought was kind of.......weird that may have some
significance. This kind of a walkthrough so listen up. Lock on Sonic 2 with
Sonic and Knuckles. Somehow get to Mystic Cave act 2 (Stage select or
otherwise). You should be playing as Knuckles (DUH!). Pull the very first
lever thing to make the wooden door go down. Glide to the other side without
falling. Go forward to the little platforms that hit each other. Wait till
the first one comes up to you then jump onto it then wait for the second one
and do the same. When the platform reaches its highest point, jump to the
little yellow boingy thingy (spring). Bounce up to the lever pull it and jump
to the wooden door. Now go forward to the red spring. Jump on it and hold
left. You should go through the wall to a hidden savespot. Climb either wall
(preferably the left one). You will notice blocks blocking the way up. Since
then I have thought that that is the way to the HPZ. I'm PROBABLY 100% wrong
but who cares. It's just something to think about.

ANOTHER THING TO THINK ABOUT. This isn't as stupid as the last one.
   OK this has to do with HPZ and its location. Do the Sonic 3 Level Select
code (the one were you must use the Sonic 2 cartridge). ON THE LEVEL SELECT
SCREEN you will notice that each level icon (the little thing on the bottom
with wings) is from Sonic 2. Scroll down till you reach the Wing Fortress
icon. Push down 2x. There it is folks the long lost HPZ icon and guess what,
it's between Wing Fortress and Death Egg. Now I conclude from this that HPZ
is between Wing Fortress and Death Egg. Maybe. AND THIS. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN
THE MYSTERIOUS ENEMY IN WING FORTRESS THAT JUST HAPPENS TO BE IN THE DEBUG
MENU? It's a little stick thing that spins around really fast.
