The desert level (erroneously referred to as Dust Hill Zone) is a widely speculated debate centered around the image above — Sonic in a mock-up desert level.
The concept of this zone is a desert with cactus and sand. The level also was supposed to have a way to travel underground and on top of the ground. No boss was planned for this zone.
The "general view" of the words Dust Hill would describe a desert area hot and sandy, or cold and snowy. Hot and sandy would apply to the concept art as seen above, although, in technicality, there is no piece of animation or art discovered as of yet to show that the desert level/zone was a playable level.
In the pictures above, the left and middle ones use inaccurate colours while the one on the right is using the correct colours. The middle one was printed on the back of a Sears, Roebuck and Co. Magazine from a November/December issue of 1992. None of these pictures were accompanied with a caption mentioning "Dust Hill Zone".
Seperating fact from myth
The first interview conducted by Deviance on February 2001 to Brenda Ross, the artist who oversaw the art production of the desert level, is deemed unreliable, so confirmation by Brenda on whether the desert level was called "Dust Hill" is sketchy, mainly from the bombardment of e-mails asking about the level and it's name "Dust Hill").
Brenda Ross HERSELF (not necessarily the people who created the zone names) has never called this zone "Dust Hill" as mentioned in the interview conducted by Wetflame on September 2004. She has called it "the desert level" or "the desert zone". It is not fact that the title "Dust Hill" would not have gone to this desert level before the known prototype because of the following...
There is no photographic evidence (film, official video game pictures (playable versions), or otherwise) to show that Mystic Cave's prototype name was Dust Hill Zone BEFORE the known beta as of yet. The only photographic evidence WITH captions of the name "Dust Hill Zone" belonging to "Mystic Cave Zone" comes AFTER the known prototype, which does not state it being used before the prototype.
Other details for this zone are unknown, so other pieces of information is missing from this article.
