Frozen Base Zone is the tenth Zone of Sonic Superstars. Frozen Base consists of two standard Acts and a special alternate Act known as "Act Tails" exclusive to Tails, with each standard Act ending in a boss fight.

Overview

Sprawling from snow-covered terrain to a mechanized underground facility, this Zone is a not an usual ice-themed level, but rather focused on the machinery side that make most part of the obstacles Sonic and friends face. The background of the external area features a vibrant pink sky, a snowy forest of pine trees, snowmen and dunes of piled up snow; the internal areas are the typical industrial kind with plates of metal making most of the scene while the underground area has a cavernous appearance with stalactite and stalagmite of frozen stone and openings allowing beams of sun light to penetrate the surface of the cavern.

Among the obstacles in the level are the classic ice-blowing machines previously featured in IceCap Zone, working pretty much the same way as in their origin zone. And alongside those machines, the main gimmick of the first Act are the conveyor belts; blue ones roll to the right, red ones to the left and can be switched out if the player comes across a switch on their way. At the very end of Act 1, as the Egg Fortress is slowly rising, it makes the terrain dislocate, making yet another challenge for Sonic and friends to conquer on their path to the Act's boss. In Act Tails, crushers and ice spikes are more prominent, making it particularly more challenging for the fox to traverse.

Once the Egg Fortress ascends completely, however, the Zone transforms into a completely different setting. Deep blue skies replace the pink aesthetic as Sonic and his friends fly around inside their own respective reprogrammed Egg Mobiles in a level inspired by Fantasy Zone, even down to featuring enemies and bases from the series. Destroying all the bases lead Sonic and friends to outer space where they face two bosses back-to-back before arriving at Dr.Eggman's space fortress.
