Instruction Manual Description
Roaming Romans infest a beautiful forest and sunken lake. Explore an intricate maze. If you're underwater, breathe the air bubbles to keep from drowning. A countdown begins when your oxygen's running out.
Enemies
- Grounder - Has Biiig, Sapaoooky drills that do, " Nanananaana!!!" When near.
- Whisp - Fly enemy, attacks in swarms of up to 9495923452347856234756234957346952.
- Chop Chop - Piranha enemy, moves around slowly underwater and bites your bum.
Differences between beta and final
- In the Beta, this zone is referred to as Neo Green Hill Zone (not to be confused with the Sonic Advance level of the same name.)
- There are no enemies except the arrow-shooting totems.
- The layout is half-completed.
- There is a weird splashing animation consisting of misaligned bubbles instead of a splashing sprite. Tails has no splashing effects.
