Quartz Quadrant

Quartz Quadrant is the fourth round from the game Sonic CD. It follows Tidal Tempest and precedes Wacky Workbench.

Quartz Quadrant is an aqua colored mine bustling with machinery and is in the process of extracting crystals on conveyor belts and platforms for whatever purpose. Some of the quartz are being transported while some are left lying around. Outside features a swamp where the quartz are being deported off to whatever far-off land they are designated to. In the past, it is a green, peaceful cavern where a very large quantity of crystals remain in a type of ooze. Outside these caverns, a swamp/bayou is present showing dead driftwood in the waters and forestry at the bottom of the zone. Conveyor belts are present, but are not being used for any purpose at all. In the Bad Future, it is an over mechanized, olive green, rusted mine possibly filled with either lava or melted down quartz under Eggman's influence where absolutely no crystallized quartz can be found. Outside of the mine, a factory-esque dystopia is seen going on for miles under a fiery sky. The factories may or may not be attempting to create artificial quartz, but it seems that it might have backfired in some way. In the Good Future, it is an underground, golden-colored utopia that is just gleaming full of crystals hidden from society. Outside of this wonderland of quartz, there are futuristic domes with mountains and forestry beyond it. A wall is seen at the mid-height section of the zone featuring the same type of domes seen outside; it may be there to keep unwanted outsiders away from the underground city. There are no active mines or swamps here in the good future, but more quartz are found here than in any of the timezones.
