Metropolis Zone is the eighth Zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Whereas other Zones in the game have two Acts, this Zone has three Acts, like all Zones of Sonic 1 (save Final Zone). This is because Tom Payne (the artist in charge of this level) had also created Genocide City Zone, which was scrapped due to lack of time and that Zone became the third Act.

Overview
Metropolis Zone is an extra-long industrial city in which Dr. Eggman resides. There are lots of machines that Sonic and Tails can interact with, including the brass pipe transporters, conveyor belts, rotating gears and spinning mesh cylinders, as well as pistons that vent steam from the sides. Giant nuts can be found on tall screws, and the player can make them move by standing on them and running right or left to get them moving; running to the right makes them wind up the screw, while running to the left winds them down. Going too far upwards will get the player squished against the ceiling, resulting in death.
Some of the more dangerous contraptions in the Zone are black crushers that thrust up and down and can easily crush the player if they try to pass through them recklessly, as well as spikes that protrude from the floor or from brown square platforms in a clockwise fashion. The second Act also features pools of molten metal that the player must cross over using moving platforms as well as bridges operated by buttons. Also featured throughout the Zone are three of the most notorious Badniks in the series, all of which are often located in places where they can land cheap shots on players.
Unlike almost every other level in the 8/16 bit games, Metropolis Zone loops from top to bottom. While a few levels in other titles have this trait, Metropolis Zone uses it for all three of its Acts. There are several areas (most notably in Acts 1 and 2) where the player can fall seemingly forever and load up on speed and rings. Eggman awaits in the Flying Eggman at the end of the Zone, protecting himself against Sonic and Tails with spiraling eggs, each containing a fake Eggman that serves to get in the heroes' way.
