Oil Ocean Zone is the seventh zone in Sonic 2.
Instruction Manual Description
Robotnik's refineries are pumping at full steam. Crude oil has turned the ocean black. Can Sonic keep his footing on the slippery catwalks and bursting steam vents?
Enemies
- Octus - Octopus enemy, levitates and fires a missile when Sonic approaches.
- Aquis - Seahorse enemy, floats around quickly, firing globules of oil at Sonic.
Oil Ocean's "sinking pool" mechanic was reused in Marble Garden Zone, though not nearly as expansive there. In this zone, it has a peculiar interaction with ground in that the ground is supported by numerous small pillars that extend down to the oil, but not all the way. Because of this, it's possible to Spin Dash in the oil while you're against one of these pillars to go under it. In this way it's possible to travel at the very bottom across the whole stage.
