Lost Jungle

Lost Jungle
Tenth stage, Sonic Heroes
Boss: Team Battle 2

Lost Jungle is the tenth stage in Sonic Heroes. Descending from the high canopy of Frog Forest into the watery swamp below, the Teams are confronted by the same route-altering megaflora as before, with swing-vines, heli-flowers, and spring-buds galore. A new addition down in the marsh are black storm frogs to go with the green; these giant poison dart frogs summon herbicidal rain that kills the jungle's plants, causing lilly pads and other platforms to wither away under your feet! On occasion this proves useful rather than frustrating; dead stems drop giant bouncing fruits, which can take out enemies as they tumble down slopes.

With Team Sonic and Team Dark, there is a giant alligator that lives in the swamp. The level's final section requires quick swinging from vines and get to the Goal Ring before it catches you.

Story

The revelations after the Egg Albatross battle continue to guide most of the Teams' routes as they push through the rainforest. Team Sonic is attempting to catch up with the Eggman Fleet in order to save the world, while Team Rose has a similar idea (though Amy's more interested in stopping the fleet to impress Sonic than anything else). Team Dark's pursuit of the Doctor has taken on a more existentially perilous aspect since Shadow found a destroyed Shadow Android. Finally, the Chaotix have been assigned another mission in chao recovery by their unknown radio client; a task which results in six-man smackdown when they stumble across Cheese and Team Rose...

Missions

The regular / extra missions are:

• Team Sonic: Venture through the deepest part of the jungle! / Get to the Goal Ring within 6 minutes!
• Team Dark: Explore the deepest part of the jungle! / Defeat 100
• Team Rose: Escape from the jungle! / Collect 200 rings!
• Team Chaotix: Rescue 10 Chao! / Rescue all 20 Chao!

Trivia

• This is one of two stages in Sonic Heroes that Egg Pawns do not appear in. The other is Power Plant.
