Rail Canyon (Sonic Heroes)

Rail Canyon (Sonic Heroes)
Seventh stage, Sonic Heroes

For the Tails' Skypatrol level, see Rail Canyon (Tails' Skypatrol).

Rail Canyon is the seventh level of Sonic Heroes. Eggman has made his base amidst the spires and plateaux of this Grand-Canyon-dwarfing ravine, and his diabolical machines shunt to and fro above the yawning void on tenuous, wiggly rails. As such, this is a level mostly spent grinding, in the same vein as Sonic Adventure 2's Final Rush. Gimmicks on this stage include light-rails which can be changed from blue to red via switches, opening up new routes. The Teams share the tracks with E-1012 Rhino Liners, as well as large red/back traincars that resemble demonic caterpillars.

Story

While Amy's been driving Team Rose forward up until now, it is Big and Cheese who push to advance into Rail Canyon, respectively reporting to sense Froggy and Chocola nearby. Team Sonic races towards their three-day deadline ot find Eggman, determined to reach Bullet Station at the end of the canyon before sundown; Team Chaotix has simply been ordered to infiltrate the terminal station, making their objective the same. Lastly, "Eggman"'s cryptic words in Robot Carnival have disturbed Shadow, so he is determined that Team Dark must capture and interrogate the Doctor.
