Gigalopolis Zone, shortened to Gigapolis Zone in the international Sega Game Gear version, is the second Zone of Sonic Chaos for the Sega Game Gear / Sega Master System, coming after Turquoise Hill Zone and preceding Sleeping Egg Zone. In keeping with the other stages of this game, Gigalopolis consists of two standard Acts followed by a shorter, third Act which contains the Zone's boss. Geographically, this Zone is located on South Island (as is the rest of Sonic Chaos).

Overview
This level sees Sonic and Tails run through an urban environment at night, under the stars. Some of the level resembles a construction site, with orange, metal frameworks and seemingly incomplete block walls. The background displays various high-rise buildings and oftentimes the sea as well. This Zone also introduces the 3/4 loops in the Game Gear series, which were first shown in Sonic the Hedgehog's Star Light Zone.
A major gimmick introduced in this Zone are diagonally-inclined bridges. In order to cross these bridges, the player must be running at high speed, otherwise they will slip off and fall.
Gigalopolis is one of the only zones in Sonic Chaos to have two different music tracks for the Game Gear and Master System versions respectively. In the Master System version, the music that plays in Gigalopolis Zone is a cover of a Korg M1 demo track called Oh Yes! In the Game Gear version, the zone has a fully original song instead.
