Sonic Team Commentary (from Sonic Jam Strategy Guide)
“ | This stage was made by Tom on the SOA staff, it was amazing what could be made with the Mega Drive at the time. But if the Sonicness of it wasn't coming through, sometimes the artist had a taste for darker color schemes, we would fix up certain pieces of it. | „ |

- Aquis - Seahorse enemy, floats around quickly, firing globules of oil at Sonic.

Technical notes
Oil Ocean's "sinking pool" mechanic was reused in Marble Garden Zone, though it's not nearly as expansive there.
In this zone, the ground is supported by numerous small pillars that extend down to the oil, but not all the way. Because of this, the player can Spin Dash in the oil while standing against one of these pillars to go under it. In this way, it's possible to travel at the very bottom across the whole stage.
