Windmill Isle

Windmill Isle
Apotos' level, Sonic Unleashed
Number of Acts: 6 (including DLC)

Windmill Isle is Apotos' level in Sonic Unleashed. Based on the Greek island of Mykonos, the level is notable for its striking whitewashed houses and windmills. As such, the area is called White Island (ホウイト アイランド houito airando) in the Japanese version of the game, Sonic World Adventure. Sonic will travel through a coastal town and lush seaside fields. Windmill Isle is a fairly straightforward level, with few noteworthy gimmicks.

The nighttime Act Stages introduce the player to combat, lifting doors, using the werehog's arms for platforming, and balancing on beams.

Aloof pelicans can be seen dotted around Windmill Isle, possibly inspired by Petros the Pelican who was the official mascot of Mykonos before being run over by a car in December 1985.

Apotos and Shamar Adventure Pack

The fifth Sonic Unleashed downloadable content is the Apotos and Shamar Adventure Pack, serving as the first content pack to update two continents with new stages. Windmill Isle gains one new daytime stage, and harder or extended versions of two daytime and two nighttime stages. It was released on Xbox Live for 250 MS Points on 21 May, 2009 and on the PlayStation Network for $3.00 on 04 June, 2009.

Day Act 1-2 and 2-2

Day Acts 1-2 and 2-2 are harder versions of Act 1 and Act 2 respectively. Act 1-2 requires players to play the level backwards at first as well as exploring a few new areas out of the level's normal bounds before running through a modified version of the level proper.

Day Act 4

Day Act 4 requires players to skillfully use the quickstep maneuver to dodge spike bars and flamethrowers among other hazards.

Night Act 1-2 and 1-3

Night Acts 1-2 and 1-3 are mini-stages taking place at the end of the normal night level. Act 1-2 has players going through a small platforming segment to reach a gemstone puzzle while Act 1-3 makes players fight swarms of enemies in the last room with the enemies dealing more damage as well as having more HP and being harder to defeat with a Critical Hit maneuver.
