Following the tradition that Green Hill Zone began in Sonic 1, Green Grove Zone, the first level in Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island, fulfils the tropical island cliché for the game.
Appearance
The differences in the Saturn version include the water in the puddles rippling even if not touched, water transparency, more obviously visible in the waterfall section of Act 1, the bridges shift due to weight, more flowers along the edges of the level, along with the addition of mushrooms, worker moles and woodpeckers.
Instruction Manual Description
| “ | The hills are alive with the sound of camshafts, engines, and various other machinery. The Flickies have been turned into nasty robots, and it’s up to you to guide Sonic through Green Grove Zone! | „ |
Boss
The boss of this very generic level is the Eggpod with a metal, spiked ball attached to it's underside. It's strangely easy; Robotnik will throw ball to the ground, which will bounce around. Once it stops moving, he will retrieve it, and Sonic must hit him as he lowers to the ground. It takes five hits to defeat.
Trivia
- The noise animation of the worms when they pop out of the holes is very reminiscent of the mushroons in Mushroom Hill.
- The music from the Genesis version was reused in an action stage of Sonic Adventure.
