Emerald Hill Zone is the first zone in Sonic 2, and is the analogue of Green Hill Zone. It fills the tropical island cliche for the game.
The zone contains bridges, waterfalls, loops, and flowers like the standard Green Hill Zone. However, it doesn't have totem poles. It introduced a new corkscrew path feature, which became a token symbol for the game, and was later reused in Sonic Advance 2's Leaf Forest.
A slightly modified version of Emerald Hill Zone's art is also used in Hill Top Zone, with different coloration. No one knows why for sure, but Hill Top Zone and Emerald Hill Zone were developed during the same time which can be proven by playing Sonic 2 Beta where they are both completed.

Enemies
- Coconuts - Monkey enemy, throws coconuts at you from up a tree.
- Buzzer - Wasp enemy, flies along and stops to fire a missile at you, then continues flying.
- Masher - Piranha enemy, jumps vertically from inside waterfalls.
Differences Between Beta and Final
- In the Beta, Emerald Hill Zone is referred to as Green Hill Zone.
- There is a snail badnik that did not make it to the final ROM. Its art offset is at 7C514 (Nemesis Format, 26 blocks).
- At one point, there is a hidden wall which is supposed to contain an extra life; it does not.
