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

Wing Fortress Zone is the tenth zone found in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. It is worth noting that this level features the only 2 cutscenes in the game, with Tails' Tornado being shot down by Dr. Robotnik's laser as Sonic hops on to the flying ship, and Sonic running to catch Robotnik as he flees to the Death Egg when Tails emerges in the Tornado, fully repaired and sporting a new rocket booster. The booster became a permanent addition to the plane. Certain sprites, such as the ones of Sonic floating and rotating, are only used here by the jets underneath the ship.

Instruction Manual Description

You've found Robotnik's secret stronghold - a flying battleship. Could this be Sonic's final fight?

Sonic Team Commentary (from Sonic Jam Strategy Guide)

This stage is the same as what appears in Sky Chase, so you can see that the entire thing is in the shape of an aircraft. Making the stage into the shape of an aircraft was particularly difficult. When playing as Super Sonic, making delicate movements becomes a bit difficult, but it still seems too bad that you can't fight the last boss with him.
