- For other similarly named levels, see Green Hill Zone (disambiguation).
Green Hill Zone is the first zone in Sonic the Hedgehog. It is a picturesque paradise with green forests, beautiful blue lakes, and brown checkered soil. Green Hill has many flowers in the foreground, as well as waterfalls and clouds in the backdrop. Hazards include crumbling platforms and spikes.
Green Hill's beta is thought to have been set at night (though this is more likely due to poor contrast in the screenshots) and had a "Welcome Sonic" sign and a rolling ball. This ball eventually became Robotnik's wrecking ball in Act 3.
This zone is so famous in the Sonic series that it reappears in later games such as Sonic Battle and Sonic Adventure 2. Even Sonic Advance 3's Sunset Hill Zone has a remix of Green Hill's music.
After completing the game, Sonic makes a brief return to Green Hill for the ending sequence.

Instruction Manual Description
“ | Go around the giant loop, tumble down tunnels, and jump over crumbling cliffs before you get a chance to blink. Bounce on Springboards but not on spikes. Ouch! | „ |
Sonic Team Commentary (from Sonic Jam Strategy Guide)
“ | This is the stage that took the designers the longest to get properly arranged, and from the beginning of development the graphics were probably redone 4 or five times. The art and maps for this zone alone took half a year to produce! At the time, we were aware of computer graphics, but we tried to get that look by hand (laugh) | „ |

Technical Notes
Green Hill Zone is followed by Marble Zone, which uses some of Green Hill's tiles.
There are some bizarre bumper-flower-things you can place in the ending with debug mode. This bumper is actually one of the bumpers from Spring Yard Zone and the special stage, using art from Green Hill to define itself. There is also one pink flower.
Green Hill is a very commonly hacked level, and is usually the level of choice for beginning hackers, since it uses relatively little tags and the tiles, for the most part, fit together.
