Cavern Island is the fifth level of Tails Adventures for the Sega Game Gear, coming after Lake Rocky and before Green Island. Unlike most levels in Tails Adventures, Cavern Island is not one that the player will have to keep coming back to as new items open up new routes; Tails can clean out the area on the first visit.

Overview

After making it through Lake Rocky in the Sea Fox, Tails arrives in a cavernous island riddled with a submarine labyrinth of caves and tunnels. Its tileset is the same one previously seen in Volcanic Tunnel, although the caverns are filled with water rather than magma, and many of the underwater tunnels have strong riptides that will sweep Tails to different areas. While the water will slow Tails' movement and prevent him from flying, he cannot drown in this game unlike other Sonic games.

Although the regular avian troops of the Battle Kukku Army are nowhere to be seen (except for the pilot of the Mecha Golem, a bulbous bipedal robot with an extensible arm), their robotic minions are all over the place, with Nezu mouse-bots scuttling back and forth and mechanised bats terrorising the cave roofs.

Items

Items to pick up in Cavern Island include:
