Dinosaur Jungle

Dinosaur Jungle is the second zone in Sonic and the Secret Rings. It features many different dinosaurs, all much bigger than Sonic. In this stage, Sonic has to run through a jungle inhabited by dinosaurs. In some parts, Sonic must surf down rivers using logs, run on dinosaurs' backs, and even run from an angry stampede of triceratops.

Appearance
Dinosaur Jungle is meant to represent a prehistoric area, thus it has crystal clear waters, bright blue skies, and a lot of rough terrain. There are also several cacti around, probably because game is based off the Arabian Nights. None of the dinosaurs can be killed by Sonic, as most are either used as terrain or obstacles.

Big's Cameo
Big can be seen twice in this level in Paragraphs 6 and 9. In Paragraph 6, after running down the dinosaur, the player can brake for a few seconds on the grassy area as he nears the flower spirit. He can then see Big holding his head.

In Paragraph 9, when the player gets to the river, he can ride the log into the flying pot. He can then fly as high as he can before jumping and do a homing attack into the spring. The player will automatically jump for a bit and then land on a grassy, circular platform with a genie egg. If the player brakes for a few seconds, he will see Big waving at him under a dinosaur.
