Spring Yard Zone is the third zone in the Mega Drive version of Sonic the Hedgehog. It is an urban level resembling a pinball machine, with many springs, bumpers, and secret areas. Bumpers bounce Sonic while awarding 10 points for hitting them. This zone's design inspired many similar stages in future Sonic games, especially Casino Night Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

Description

Jump from springs and bounce off bumpers as if you're in a real pinball machine.

This map was the first one to be drawn and finalized. Wanting to bounce around on the pinball-like bumpers in this stage really can't be helped! Because the star-patterned bumpers make a "Bo-bin!" sound when you bounce on them, in Sonic Team lexicon we call them bobins (laughs).

Trivia

  • Spring Yard Zone Act 2 is the only level in Sonic the Hedgehog to feature more than one Signpost; there is a jump at the end of the level that if made successfully, will bring the player to another platform with more rings than the one below it, and the other Signpost.
