Mad Gear Zone

Mad Gear Zone
Fourth level, Sonic the Hedgehog 4
Number of Acts: 4
Level theme: industrial

Mad Gear Zone is the fourth level in Sonic the Hedgehog 4. It seems to be based largely on Sonic 2's Metropolis Zone, and includes Asteron, Shellcracker, and Slicer Badniks from the same stage.

The gimmicks in this stage include steam pipes that blast Sonic, Metropolis-esque transport pipes, Cogs that Sonic can run on to open doors with, and the giant moving death wall in Act 3.
