Camelot Castle

Sonic and the Black Knight << Previous area — Camelot Castle — Next area >>

Camelot Castle is the second stage in Sonic and the Black Knight for the Nintendo Wii. A giant fortress-city, the castle hosts a thriving town of long-eared Arthurian folk (and their Blacksmith) living in and around the massive castle walls. Giant siege crossbows line the battlements, along with statues of ancient kings and feudal nobility. Sonic also briefly explores the storm drains and waterways beneath the castle - routes that become rather more significant later, in Knight's Passage.

Story
After being cast aside by King Arthur during their battle at Misty Lake, Sonic and Caliburn journey to Castle Camelot in order to find a smithy where Caliburn can be sharpened. Merlina declines to join them, claiming that (as she is the Royal Wizard) she would attract unwanted attention from the folk of the castle town.

When Sonic and Caliburn arrive, the settlement is being terrorised by the knights of the underworld. Cutting a path through the nightmare forces, the hedgehog eventually makes his way to the Blacksmith's shop - to be greeted by the Arthurian world's doppelganger of his best friend, Tails. The Blacksmith happily agrees to repair Caliburn's blade; after which Sonic proceeds on his quest to consult Nimue in Deep Woods.

If we take Sonic and the Black Knight ' 's Blacksmith Menu to be at least semi-canonical, it seems probable that Sir Lancelot, Sir Percival, Sir Gawain, and Sonic (again) visit Camelot Castle (and, specificly, Blacksmith's shop) multiple times over the course of the adventure, for weapons forging and soforth. In fact, it may be that all the Knights of the Round Table (including Sir Gawain and Sir Lamorak) actually live in Camelot Castle when they're not off adventuring.
