Aqua Planet Zone

Aqua Planet Zone
Fifth Zone, Sonic Chaos
Number of Acts: 3
Boss: Sphere-o-Bot
Underwater areas: Yes

Aqua Planet Zone, is the fifth level in Sonic Chaos for the Sega Game Gear / Sega Master System. In keeping with the other stages of this game, Aqua Planet consists of two standard Acts followed by a shorter, third Act which contains the boss. Geographically, this Zone is located on South Island (as is the rest of Sonic Chaos).

Why it's called Aqua Planet is something of a mystery; but it's certainly aqua, with underwater sections aplenty - reminiscant of Hydrocity Zone from Sonic 3 and Knuckles. The Zone consists of crumbling, half-submerged ruins, from which ruby-tinted offshore oil rigs can be glimpsed in the background (these are presumably the Doctor's work). Aqua Planet is a stormy zone too, as the roiling clouds will attest.

Instruction Manual Description
