Aquatic Mine Zone


 * For the location in Sonic Adventure 2, see Aquatic Mine.

Aquatic Mine Zone is a location that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog and its spin-off comic series published by Archie Comics. In the Post-Super Genesis Wave timeline, Aquatic Mine Zone is located on Sonic's World beneath the Pumpkin Hill Zone. The zone is infamous for holding a chock full of ghosts. Aquatic Mine Zone was an abandoned mining facility used long ago to store the water fluids of the area.

Description
An abandoned mining station left long ago, the Aquatic Mine Zone is beneath Pumpkin Hill Zone, as it holds vast amount of switches and changing water levels that can be altered by said switches. Knuckles had assumed that the miners needed switches to balance the water levels since draining the mine wouldn't have been easy nor possible.

History
In the past, Knuckles had came to the Aquatic Mine Zone to look for the Emerald Shards during the loose adaption of Sonic Adventure 2 that happened in the Post-Super Genesis Wave timeline. It is presumed that Knuckles collected all of the Emerald Shards there.

Knuckles and the Chaotix–Vector, Espio, and Charmy–went to the Aquatic Mine Zone after encountering the Hooligans, who both parties were present in the mine to search for a Chaos Emerald located in this zone. Whereas the Hooligans had trouble finding the emerald due to confusing pathways, Knuckles and the Chaotix were having trouble dealing with themselves, as the Chaotix began to become frighted by ghosts as well as the fear that the Hooligans have found the emerald. However, Knuckles and the Chaotix were able to find the emerald, only to realize that Chip was holding on the emerald.
