'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is the second [[Zone|Round]] of ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog CD]]''. Like with every other Round in the game, {{PAGENAME}} consists of two standard Zones that span all time zones, followed by a shorter third Zone set in the future which contains the boss. Geographically, {{PAGENAME}} is located on the [[Little Planet]].

==Overview==

As soon as the first Zone begins, [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] will find himself at a spin tunnel blocked by [[Spikes (obstacle)|spikes]], with [[Amy Rose]] catching up to him. Shortly afterwards, though, [[Metal Sonic]] will burst through the spike blockade and grab the lovestruck hedgehog, then fly off with her. Naturally, it is up to Sonic to give chase. When playing in Time Attack mode (or as other characters in the [[Sonic the Hedgehog CD (2011)|2011 remake]] and ''[[Sonic Origins]]''), this sequence does not happen, and the tunnel will not be blocked.

Neon signs flicker through this level, metallic bumpers bounce you through parts, and bouncy bubbles hinder your progress. You'll have to go fast to get through this level. And is that Metal Sonic taking off with Amy? Chase him!
+
Collision Chaos is the type of level only a pinball fanatic would love, with neon signs depicting gibberish typefaces flickering all over the place. It has [[bumper]]s, fields full of [[Spring]]s, pinball flippers, and spiked little ball chains that populate the short corridors found at the bottom of the Round. The stage is set in an industrial construction site, similar to that of [[Spring Yard Zone]]. The level is not difficult, just that the player should watch out for the random spike traps. That, and getting stuck in the bumper "maze". Zone 2 presents the player with bubble-type bumpers that shatter when bounced off of, along with giant spinning logs with platforms on them.

Also another thing, there are a bunch of bubble type of obstacle, just hit them and they'll disappear.

Much like with Spring Yard Zone Act 2, Zone 2 has two possible exits that the player can reach, each with their own [[Signpost]]. Taking the top exit in the 2011 remake will award the player with the "Take the High Road" [[Sonic the Hedgehog CD/Achievements|achievement/trophy]].

Collision Chaos is the second Round of Sonic the Hedgehog CD. Like with every other Round in the game, Collision Chaos consists of two standard Zones that span all time zones, followed by a shorter third Zone set in the future which contains the boss. Geographically, Collision Chaos is located on the Little Planet.

Overview

As soon as the first Zone begins, Sonic will find himself at a spin tunnel blocked by spikes, with Amy Rose catching up to him. Shortly afterwards, though, Metal Sonic will burst through the spike blockade and grab the lovestruck hedgehog, then fly off with her. Naturally, it is up to Sonic to give chase. When playing in Time Attack mode (or as other characters in the 2011 remake and Sonic Origins), this sequence does not happen, and the tunnel will not be blocked.

Collision Chaos is the type of level only a pinball fanatic would love, with neon signs depicting gibberish typefaces flickering all over the place. It has bumpers, fields full of Springs, pinball flippers, and spiked little ball chains that populate the short corridors found at the bottom of the Round. The stage is set in an industrial construction site, similar to that of Spring Yard Zone. The level is not difficult, just that the player should watch out for the random spike traps. That, and getting stuck in the bumper "maze". Zone 2 presents the player with bubble-type bumpers that shatter when bounced off of, along with giant spinning logs with platforms on them.

Much like with Spring Yard Zone Act 2, Zone 2 has two possible exits that the player can reach, each with their own Signpost. Taking the top exit in the 2011 remake will award the player with the "Take the High Road" achievement/trophy.

Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie comics)

Collision Chaos appears in issue #25 of Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog comic series, under the name Collision Chaos Zone. An artificial zone created by Dr. Robotnik, he intentionally let the Knothole Freedom Fighters discover a portal that leads into it. His intention with this was to lure Sonic into exploring it, where a chasing Snively would've forced him to eventually proceed to the Stardust Speedway Zone, where Robotnik himself was ready to crush him with a deadly trap.

This depiction of the zone is based entirely on its present time zone from Sonic CD, with its past and futures remaining unseen.
