Wing Fortress Zone

Wing Fortress Zone
Tenth level, Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Number of Acts: 1
Level theme: flying fortress
Boss: Barrier Eggman
Maximum rings: 196 + 100

Wing Fortress Zone is the tenth zone found in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. It is worth noting that this level features two of the three cutscenes in the game (the third being the end sequence), with Tails' Tornado first being shot down by Dr. Robotnik's laser as Sonic hops on to the flying ship, and then at the end of the level, when Sonic runs to catch Robotnik's spaceship as he flees to the Death Egg and when Tails re-appears in the Tornado, fully repaired after the damage it withstood in Sky Chase Zone and sporting a new rocket booster. The booster reappears in the opening sequence of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, but not in the ending of Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

Tails gives a ride to Sonic on the repaired Tornado (which now features a booster) to help Sonic reach Death Egg Zone
