Machine Labyrinth


 * For other usages of "Labyrinth", see Labyrinth (disambiguation).

Machine Labyrinth (マシンラビリンス) is the second stage in Sonic Rush Adventure. It is found on a large mechanised island driven by steam, and is located in the Sol Dimension. Bronze Material can be earned from this stage.

Overview
The Machine Labyrinth is in a large steam factory, with plenty of steam used to help or hinder Sonic. The major "gimmick" of this zone is the steam-powered hang glider, where the player presses up to get a burst of upward velocity. This stage has borrowed some elements of Chemical Plant Zone's winding paths and Metropolis Zone's steam gimmicks, both from Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

The boss of this zone is Ghost Pendulum. To beat it, repeatedly hit the swinging ball until it hits the body of the robot up at the top of the screen. Two larger balls will be added to the mix later on in the fight, as well as a stomping device that releases a shockwave of damaging energy. The bigger balls are hard to hit up to the robot, but cause more damage. Every so often the balls sprout spikes, so don't hit them in this state.

Trivia

 * The music in this stage can be confused with the famous La Bamba by Richard Valens.
 * Despite of having an Invincibility theme, there is no Invincibility Item Box seen anywhere in either act of the stage.
 * However, there is an invincibility item in Hidden Island 10, a stage which shares the same music as this one.
