Mecha Green Hill Zone is the fourth Zone of Sonic Chaos for the Sega Game Gear / Sega Master System, coming after Sleeping Egg Zone and preceding Aqua Planet Zone. In keeping with the other stages of this game, Mecha Green Hill consists of two standard Acts followed by a shorter, third Act which contains the boss. Geographically, this Zone is located on South Island (as is the rest of Sonic Chaos).

Overview
As demonstrated via the Bad Future levels of Sonic the Hedgehog CD, the nefarious Dr. Eggman seems to take cruel pleasure in converting natural Zones into twisted, metallic parodies of their former selves. Although it's never explicitly demonstrated whether or not Mecha Green Hill Zone is a mechanised normal Green Hill Zone, or an entirely new construction, the fact that both areas are on South Island, combined with the Doctor's modus operandi on the Little Planet, means it would not be unreasonable to speculate that this level represents the former: Robotnik's capture and conversion of at least part of Green Hill.
So, where once there was verdant, peaceful idyll, now steel palmtrees deploy coconut bombs and Boing-o-Bot Badniks trundle across bleak fields of synthetic grass. The ground has been metallized, and the azure skies turned sickly, polluted green (or orange in the Game Gear version). The Zone also incorporates the 'tilting bridges' from Gigalopolis Zone that the player has to sprint across fast or risk falling off. At the bottom of the Zone are pools of oil that the player will sink into unless they jump.
The music for Mecha Green Hill Zone is a remix of the music in Green Hills Zone, which itself was a remix of "Sonic - You Can Do Anything" from Sonic CD; further signifying the link between the areas.
Quotes
| “ | Mad mastermind Dr. Robotnik even has Coconut-Bots, so keep an eye on the palm trees. Look out for traps everywhere. Jump to save yourself from the deadly molten metal. Stay on top of the Tree Crawler Boss. | „ |

| “ | The Green Hill Zone has gone mechanical, and the skies are gray with pollution thanks to Dr. Robotnik. Don't let yourself sink into the sludge in the river or you won't get out. The coconuts in the trees are explosive, so if one drops near you, get out of the way! | „ |

Enemies
| Boing-o-Bot — Badnik similar to the Moto Bug of Sonic the Hedgehog, but with springs attached to their backs. |
