Sky Base Zone is the sixth and final Zone in the 8-bit version of Sonic the Hedgehog. As with other Zones in this game, this Zone consists of two standard Acts followed by a shorter third Act which contains the Zone's boss. The unusual feature here is that the first two distinct Acts have completely different backgrounds and level designs.
Overview
At the end of the previous Zone, Dr. Eggman fled to an airship hidden in the smog clouds of Scrap Brain Zone. Sonic, obviously, pursues. Sky Base Act 1 sees the heroic hedgehog navigate his way through the exposed gantries and electric fields of the airship anchorage above Scrap Brain, speeding to catch the fat man's massive escape vessel before it departs. The electric fields will activate on set intervals, making the sky flash when they are fully active.
In Act 2, Sonic must brave the fearsome defenses on board the zeppelin itself; cannons, propeller blades, and of course the ever-present threat of falling thousands of feet to hedgehog-y oblivion. This level sets itself apart from other second Acts in the game in that there are no Rings, meaning every mistake is fatal. The 1-Up monitor in Act 3 is special in that it only appears if the player has broken every other 1-Up monitor in the game.
There is no Sky Base Zone in the 16-bit version of Sonic the Hedgehog, but the design of the first Act is similar to Star Light Zone in the Mega Drive game. The premise of the second Act, meanwhile, is similar to that of Wing Fortress Zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Mega Drive.

Walkthroughs
Detailed maps for each Act can be found here.
Act 1
It seems to be sort of a launching site for the big blimp. The sky is made up of electric webs, which is reused in Sonic CD's Wacky Workbench Zone.
Act 2
There are no rings in this stage. You can go one way and avoid bombs, spike walls and guns, or you can go around most of those by falling off the beginning platform on the left and onto a series of moving platforms and eventually to the Chaos Emerald.
Act 3
You run through a short passage. Once you reach Robotnik, you will notice he is encased in glass. The aim is to break the glass while avoiding the laser on the ceiling, and the ball which shoots towards Sonic (located on the ceiling). Once Robotnik's case is damaged, chase him to the end of the level. There's a warp that takes you back to Green Hill and the ending scene.
