Overview

Tutorial

The game begins with a basic tutorial that explains the Parkour system of Sonic Lost World to the player and the control scheme used for the game.

Zone 1

Like its Wii U/PC counterpart, Zone 1 of Windy Hill on the Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Lost World offers a behind-the-back perspective point-of-view level design, with a level appearance much like its Wii U/PC counterpart (with minor exceptions, such as the lack of waterfalls). The biggest change is that a selected path is the only way to go in the Zone, unlike the Wii U/PC version, in which the said version the player can go through multiple pathways. Sonic must avoid Moto Bugs, Buzz Bombers, large Sandworms, and eventually a colossal Caterkiller that chases him. The Indigo Asteroid Color Power is also introduced here.

Zone 2

Zone 2 in the 3DS version is similar to Zone 3 from the Wii U/PC version, as it is set in an underground tunnel that defies gravity and is literally a fairly straightforward Zone. Several pools of lava appear here instead of the slime puddles of the Wii U/PC version. The Red Wisp appears here, allowing Sonic to use the Red Burst Color Power, and by dipping into the lava pools while it's active, Sonic can recharge the Red Burst.

Zone 3

Zone 3 marks the first 2.5D Zone of the 3DS version, set at sunset like Zone 2 from the Wii U/PC version. The purpose of this level is for the player to familiarize themself with using parkour in a 2.5D space, as the design is primarily an obstacle course full of speed boosters, spikes and Grabbers. At certain intervals in the Zone, Zazz will show up and repeatedly toss his Moon Mech at Sonic, who must dodge the Moon Mech until the pink Zeti gets fed up and leaves.
