Green Hill Zone (Sonic the Hedgehog)

Green Hill Zone is the first Zone in Sonic the Hedgehog. Like other zones in the Mega Drive game, Green Hill is divided into three full-length Acts, with a boss battle at the end of the third.

As the first level in the game, Green Hill Zone much more peaceful compared to other zones in the game. The level contains rolling hills, crumbling cliffs, and waterfalls.

After completing the game, Sonic makes a brief return to Green Hill Zone for the ending sequence. The area is now free of badniks and instead thronged with celebrating animals.

Boss
Dr. Robotnik appears with a wrecking ball that swings back and forth trying to hit Sonic, who must avoid it by standing on two platforms and jumping over it. He can destroy it by jumping off of the platforms and into Robotnik's machine 8 times.

Nick Arcade
As Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was built from Sonic 1, this zone remains in the Nick Arcade build of Sonic 2, but, due to differences how Sonic 2 loads collision, sprite, and monitor data compaired to Sonic 1, the physics, some of the sprites are corrupted, and incorrect monitors are used. A large list of Game Genie codes will fix (most of) the physics, but the loops still do not work. Here is this version of this zone, and here is where most of the glitches are fixed. The only way to load this zone is using the level select screen.
