Secret Base Zone is the second Zone of Sonic Advance. This Zone comes after Neo Green Hill Zone and precedes Casino Paradise Zone.

Overview

A typical factory installation of the Eggman Empire, this industrial setting features a host of manufacturing-based obstacles: swinging hooks to leap across the ceiling, pressurized tubes to sweep the player through a pipe network; steam tops, molten metal crucibles, and free-floating iron platforms. Less usual gimmicks include ziplines criss-crossing the foreground, and dual chutes that drop the player through the background.

Many of the features in this level first debuted in Metropolis Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

A unique effect in the very first, outdoor part of Act 1 is an interesting floodlight motif, later used in Sonic Advance 2's Ice Paradise Zone.

Special Spring location

The Special Spring for this Zone is located in Act 2. To find it, the player should take the top-most routes as much as possible, and they will eventually find it on top of a downward loop. As they go through the loop, they should use the springs and bouncy platforms to reach it.
