Rail Canyon is the seventh level of Sonic Heroes. Eggman has made his base amidst the spires and plateaux of this Grand-Canyon-dwarfing ravine, and his diabolical machines shunt to and fro above the yawning void on tenuous, wiggly rails. As such, this is a level mostly spent grinding, in the same vein as Sonic Adventure 2's Final Rush. Gimmicks on this stage include light-rails which can be changed from blue to red via switches, opening up new routes. The Teams share the tracks with Rhino Liners, as well as large red/back traincars that resemble demonic caterpillars.

Story
While Amy's been driving Team Rose forward up until now, it is Big and Cheese who push to advance into Rail Canyon, respectively reporting to sense Froggy and Chocola nearby. Team Sonic races towards their three-day deadline to find Eggman, determined to reach Bullet Station at the end of the canyon before sundown; Team Chaotix has simply been ordered to infiltrate the terminal station, making their objective the same. Lastly, "Eggman"'s cryptic words in Robot Carnival have disturbed Shadow, so he is determined that Team Dark must capture and interrogate the Doctor.

Level variants
Two Rail Canyon variants exist in the game, but have differences between the normal and the Chaotix versions. Notable things with the Chaotix version has differently made rails at the beginning of the level and beyond the train is the alternative route to the terminal while the Chaotix layout for the regular level (with extra power formation signs added at one rail switch area) was never used as the game uses the other variant for the team. Also, any team other than Chaotix doesn't have objects including goal rings placed into their layouts and all teams start at the exact point where Team Chaotix spawns at for this stage edit like Mystic Mansion.
