Zones are the levels you play in numerous Sonic games. Starting with Sonic the Hedgehog, each Zone is in a specific area of the world, and Sonic runs through these areas to reach Dr. Robotnik. They are linear, going from beginning to end of the area, littered with Badniks and various traps which Robotnik places to impede his progress.
Most every Sonic game has Zones, although they might not say it in the level title. The Zones are also divided into Acts, which are the number of sections of a Zone. The number of Acts in a Zone varies between the games. The exception to this rule is the level terminology of Sonic CD. The "Act" title is dropped entirely, with each level (known as "rounds") broken up into three seperate "Zones."
These are what the Action Stages of later 3D Sonic games are based off of.
Other Media
Zones exist in other media as well. Sonic the Comic uses Zones extensively to separate parts of the world.
