'''Gene Gadget Zone''', the sixth zone of [[Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island]], is a fairly easy zone that takes place in space. Sonic teleports on different platforms and faces some rehashed enemies. The boss featured Robotnik's first real use of missles to blast Sonic away.

Gene Gadget Zone is the sixth Zone of Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island for the Sega Mega Drive and Sega Saturn, coming after Volcano Valley and before Panic Puppet. As with other stages in this game, Gene Gadget consists of two standard Acts followed by a third Act containing only the boss fight. In Acts 1 and 2, Sonic must free captured Flickies from inside Badniks, depositing five of the birds into a Goal Ring to progress between sections of the level (usually three per Act).

Overview

Apparently right outside the volcano on Flicky Island, the Zone is filled with massive glass cauldrons of cruel biochemistry and yellow/black hazard stripes all over the place - precisely what you'd expect from Dr. Eggman's genetic research lab. Getting around the Zone involves large transport tubes and industrial fans that turn on conveniently as soon as Sonic steps on them. Electrified floors are also a problem here, though the regular Blue Shield will provide protection from them somehow.

Tails and Knuckles don't appear at this point of the game anymore. As a result, the player cannot try for the Chaos Emeralds, and no bonuses can be collected from Knuckles and Tails, and those bonuses are not even present at the end of Act tally. There are no more Sonic Medals to be found, either.

The boss sees Sonic fight the Doctor above a deadly conveyor belt.

Quotes

This mixed-up mechazone is chock full of pipes, tubes and wiring. Not to mention electrified floors, shocking beam weapons, and industrial fans that will blow Sonic away!
