Casino Night Zone, a blatant example of the carnival/casino cliché.

Here you'll find lots of pinball bumpers and springs, lots of stuff to keep you in the air. Also, the Casino variations contain the obligatory bright neon lights and ring giving slot machines. The most famous of these include the Casino Night Zone from Sonic 2, which not only was the first to use pinball flippers but also was the first to have slot machines, not only to gamble your rings, but give you points as well.

Recently, the carnival/casino cliché has become a frequent archetype of Eggman's and Eggman Nega's bases, possibly reflecting the immaturity inherent in both characters. Such locations include Circus Park, Sky Park Zone, and Neon Palace Zone. There are even elements of this archetype in Eggman's realized dream metropolis, Eggmanland (in fact, the portion of Eggmanland that Sonic traverses is known as Crimson Carnival in the X-BOX 360 version of the game). Eggman's fondness for theme parks is foreshadowed by his private game room in the living quarters of the Egg Carrier.

First appeared: Spring Yard Zone, Sonic 1
