Palmtree Panic

Palmtree Panic is the first stage in the game Sonic the Hedgehog CD. It precedes Collision Chaos.

It is a tropical region with sharp mountains and waterfalls in the background. Hence the name, palm trees adorn the region, as well as star shaped plants that seem to litter the tropic coast. The past features a more prehistoric coast as if in the BCs. Palm trees may even or may not share a light bulb-esque feature on top. Where the star-shaped plants would be there are instead vine-like growths sprouting from the ground. The bad future has been completely mechanized. Palm trees are mechanical, but are broken down and feature an ominous red light glowing in each center. The star-shaped plants are also mechanical, but they are rusted, broken up, and share the ominous glowing that the palm trees have. The air has been polluted by smog just as the waters are polluted by oil. The good future is also mechanized but is bright, vivid, colorful, and is clean. The star-shaped plants and trees are both mechanical and seem to act as water transporters. Many plants adorn the area as well, and the region seems to be entirely water powered.

Trivia

 * In other continuities, such as Sonic the Comic, this area was known as the Palmtree Panic Zone so as to be more consistent with other similar areas.


 * This is the first zone that Amy Rose appears in on a game.
 * With debug mode enabled, if the player goes below the boss arena after defeating the boss, 3 monitors are present, not normaly obtainable, and two of them are unused. There is an extra life, the infamous "S" monitor, and a monitor with a timer on it- the "S" gives Sonic invincibility and super speed, and the timer freezes time and all objects for a few seconds, similar to Team Dark's Team Blast in Sonic Heroes.

Secrets
In other versions of Sonic CD, the boss of Palmtree Panic was also called Egg Bacletor but this name were removed.
