Sand Hill is a Sub Game which appears in Tails' story shortly after Sonic and Tails' stories diverge after Sky Chase 1. It is located off the left path in Mystic Ruins' jungle area.
Because Sonic & Tails share so many of the same levels, Sonic can also play this level, although because he can't reach the access balcony in the adventure field, it must be accessed through the Sub Games menu.
Sand Hill is very similar to Ice Cap in that Sonic or Tails sandboards down the hill. However, Sand Hill contains one very large area where one of a number of paths can be taken. As a Sub Game, Sand Hill has a scoring method which consists of goalposts along the paths that should be passed through. When you pass through each one, you gain points, and passing through another one quickly enough adds one to your score multiplier. In order to reach the second Emblem target score, you have to maintain a combo for most, if not all of the level. In some areas, this is difficult due to the obstacles in the path, turns and dips, and a large distance between goals.
