Aqua Lake Zone

=General= Aqua Lake Zone is the third level of the Game Gear / Master System Sonic 2. As with all other stages in this game, Aqua Lake Zone consists of two standard Acts followed by a shorter, third Act which contains the Zone's boss.

Aqua Lake Zone gives you your quota of drowning music for this game. The surface areas sport a profusion of operational fountains and water features, while beneath the lake's surface, crumbling ruins provide Sonic with a dangerous obstacle course. Bubbles in Aqua Lake Zone are much larger and more resiliant than you might be used to from the MegaDrive games; with these bubbles, Sonic can actually jump inside, and ride all the way up to the surface.

=Boss= This mechanical walrus attacks Sonic by means of an inflatable, explosive ball. Sonic must hit the ball as the Sea Lion Mecha is still in the process of blowing it up, in order to do any damage. Other attacks will be repulsed, as the machine simply bounces Sonic atop its robotic nose, before tossing him to the side of the screen.
