Hill Top Zone is the fifth zone in Sonic 2. It uses the same graphics from Emerald Hill Zone. No one knows for sure why they had this zone clone.

Hill Top Zone has extended level blocks such as Star Light Zone start loops, and Green Hill Zone spin tubes.

The zone also contains lava, and has caverns where you can be trapped during earthquakes (due to a layer of ground moving up and down).

Instruction Manual Description

Lava boils from volcanoes and earthquakes shake the ground. Spring for the rings on teeter-totters and blast through underground tunnels and caverns.

Villains

Enemies

  • Rexon - Plesiosaur enemy, sits in lava and throws fireballs at you. Once destroyed, its body can be used as a platform to stand on.
  • Spiker - Cone enemy, launches its cone at you when you jump over it.
  • Sol / Ghora - Spherical enemy, surrounded by 4 fireballs which it throws at you. Referred to as "Sol" in the instruction manual, and "Ghora" in Sonic Jam.

Boss

  • Boss: Dr. Robotnik's Lava Tank
  • Hits: 8

This boss is rather simple, you just have to know what you're doing. The first thing(s) you'll notice are three islands: one on the left, one in the middle, and one on the right of the screen. In between these islands you'll find two lava pits. These lava pits are where Robotnik will pop out in his heat-resistant submarine and shoot stuff at ya. Simply, hop on Robotnik twice when he appears, avoiding all flaming projectiles he launches at you.

Differences between Beta and Final

  • Sonic doesn't spin when going through tunnels.
  • There is no earthquake sound effect.
