Instruction Manual Description

Keep Sonic's lungs filled with air as you explore the under-water regions of the island.

Sonic Team Commentary (from Sonic Jam Strategy Guide)

Thinking we would make a high-speed stage similar the previous games, we based this stage on Chemical Plant. The map size was already at the limit of the Mega Drive's RAM with Sonic 2, but thanks to the efforts of our programmers we were able to make them even bigger. There are also routes made specifically for each character.

Glitches

  • As Hyper Sonic, you can travel over the top of the level and into Knuckles' area. Once you have done this, however, you are stuck unless you have debug mode activated. You can get there also as regular Sonic if you have a lightning shield, but it requires very good timing when you jump.
  • If you are playing Sonic 3 you can hear music that was thought to be in Sonic 3 and Knuckles only. You need to be in either boss, act 1 or act 2. Wait for the countdown music for drowning to start, then jump out of the water, and the Sonic and Knuckles act 1 boss music will play.

Badniks

  • Turbo Spiker — A red-wheeled vehicle with a spike attached to it.
  • Buggernaut — A blue mosquito that usually comes at you in groups of three.
  • Jawz — A blue, flying shark robot.
  • Blastoid — Your standard cannon... Sonic style.
  • Mega Chopper — Red piranha that bites you. Similar to that of previous games.
  • Pointdexter — A spiked pufferfish.
