Spring Yard Zone is the third zone in Sonic 1, and is an urban level with many springs and bumpers, resembling a pinball machine. Bumpers bounce Sonic while awarding ten points for hitting them. There are many secret areas in this zone. This zone's design inspired many similar stages in future Sonic games.
Instruction Manual Description
Jump from springs and bounce off bumpers as if you're in a real pinball machine.
