Toy Kingdom is the typical carnival styled level in most Sonic games. Different toys are scattered throughout the level. This include springs that come out of boxes and toy soldier enemies. There are also Elephant slides and cute Panda Tea-cups for the player to ride, also suggesting it could be a theme park aimed at small children. Like the other even numbered zones, this zone ends with a mini-boss fight with Gemerl. If the player has Sonic in the lead, and finishes Act 3, Amy Rose will be unlocked for use in story and time trial.

Interestingly, Amy is listed as the last character in the intro and Character select screen, implying Cream would be unlocked here instead (with a zone-theme to match her personality), but instead, it is Amy.

The comical boss of the zone is an Egg-in-the-box. Unlike most other bosses in the Sonic series, the boss of Toy Kingdom will not be defeated after a set number of hits. Instead, you must hit Eggman's cockpit to knock the boss back, until it falls off a ledge at the right end of the arena. Conversely, the boss inches forward to force the player off the arena's left side. To keep you preoccupied, the boss will perform one of four random attacks at regular intervals.


1) The device launches a missile which flies off the top of the screen, and homes in at the player at high speeds. Thus, the player must keep moving to avoid the missile. A red arrow sweeping the ground indicates where the missile is predicted to land.

2) The device launches a spiked ball-and-chain, which bounces off the ground and is difficult to properly jump over. After it comes to a rest, the ball-and-chain is retracted back into the boss.

3) The device launches three toy-soldier badniks onto the arena. Unlike the similar badniks in Acts 1-3, these will not fire off projectiles, but will complicate your efforts by crowding the arena.

4) the device springs a giant clown head (complete with Gemerl as a nose) from its top compartment. This action is harmless, though may throw you off balance in the later portions of this boss fight.

You cannot attack the boss when an attack is performed. Additionally, as the boss is forced further to the right, Eggman will increase the rate of his attacks. Defeat the boss and be whisked away to Twinkle Snow. Template:SonAdv3
