Street Fighter II': Champion Edition is an update to Street Fighter II': The World Warrior, released by Capcom to arcades in 1992. A Sega Mega Drive port was planned for the summer of 1993, but was scrapped and replaced with Street Fighter II': Special Champion Edition later in the year.

History
Development
On March 10, 1993, Sega and Capcom held a joint press conference at Sega's headquarters in Redwood City, California[3] announcing the existence of Street Fighter II': Champion Edition, a 16-megabit cartridge for the Sega Mega Drive[1]. It was to be released in June alongside two six-button controllers; the Capcom Power Stick Fighter MD by Capcom and Sega's Six Button Control Pad[1] (which appeared at the event). The version shown was reported to be 75%[4]-80%[5] complete with only a few backgrounds and endings yet to implemented[4].
The game was set to cost the same as the Super NES port of Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, but with upgrades, such as extra speech[1] and the barrel bonus stage (instead of the Super NES' "brick" bonus stage)[6], as well as the changes and additions seen in the Champion Edition arcade game. Also featured would be the ability for two players to play as the same character, something only possible on the SNES with a cheat code[7].
Discovery
A prototype of the game was released by a scene group that went by the name "The Boss" on June 2nd, 1994. This prototype had been hacked and sold on bootleg cartridges as "SFII' Turbo".[8]
Much later, in 2020, two official prototypes were found and dumped by drx. Sazpaimon streamed the 1993-03-25 prototype on Twitch on July 4th, 2020, followed by drx releasing the prototypes on Hidden Palace after the stream.
