Mystic Cave Zone is the sixth zone in Sonic 2. This zone was referred to as Dust Hill Zone in the Simon Wai prototype and several gaming magazines. The reason gaming magazines referred to the level as Dust Hill was probably due to the level select labeling the level as such. It is also the first level in a Sonic game to fall under the Underground Cavern cliché.

Sonic Team Commentary (from Sonic Jam Strategy Guide)
| “ | The feel here is a haunted-house (obakeyashiki), isn't it. But we ended up making a cave stage instead. When making this map, first we had drawn the island, there was a cave, there was a lake, a mountain, a construction site, we were thinking of all these areas. Like Sonic would be here at first, and then he'd go someplace else. That was part of the cave. | „ |
